Re: USFL Week 5 predictions
Additionally:
No more NY area teams in NBA as with NHL playoffs now.
One damn NBA game Sunday - and its mostly opposite Memphis v NOLA and on ABC at 3:30pm. You'd think they'd make that later ie a primetime game. Boston Philly game 7 could be a big draw.
On a tangential note, the NHL playoffs are now falling the USFL's way IMO. Esp if Seattle and Edmonton can pull off wins in their second rounds.
NBA diff story, TBD, but at least Warriors series over and NY area teams out.

Re: USFL Week 5 predictions
Well only my upset special won... but all the teams I wanted sans Panthers won. Scores a mixed bag, we'll see the viewers Tuesday.
With Celts demolishing Sixers... no more Philly, that could help Stars viewership in a small way.
All NBA conf finals are listed as 8:30pm starts.
Not sure how NHL shakes out. I think a Seattle v Edmonton would be best for a West Conf final as Carolina v FL appears pretty weak imo for East Conf finals. (But Vegas GK win and will be in West Conf Finals - not a huge deal as smaller city new team without entrenched fan base.)
Next night game is the late start time Week 7:
5/27/2023 9:00 PM FS1 Philadelphia Stars at Pittsburgh Maulers Canton

Re: USFL Week 5 predictions
Fox has one game do very well and one struggle. Overall numbers look good but not great IMO and it seems games without a home team struggle a little

Re: USFL Week 5 predictions
Yeah and the rat bastards at Disney have USFL going head to head with NHL this Sunday. Not the same but why have a Texas and Western team play mid afternoon?herns wrote: ↑Tue May 16, 2023 11:40 amIf I didn’t realize the 500k game went against Philly Boston game 7 that makes sense then4th&long wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 10:48 pm Week 5 - predictions posted shortly.

Prediction vs Actual:
Sat 5/13/2023 12:30 PM USA, Peacock Pittsburgh Maulers at Michigan Panthers in Detroit
430k viewers - Actual 256k USA under performing
Sat 5/13/2023 4:00 PM FOX Houston Gamblers at Birmingham Stallions in Birmingham
757k viewers - Actual 914k Strongest perform for Fox Yet
Sun 5/14/2023 12:00 PM NBC, Peacock New Jersey Generals at Philadelphia Stars in Detroit
-860k viewers - Actual 757k slight underperform for NBC while perfect day in NE and mother's day
Sun 5/14/2023 3:00 PM FOX Memphis Showboats at New Orleans Breakers in Birmingham
652k viewers - Actual 563k - knew this would be tough, was hoping for mid 600's but damn NBA early start monster 8.44mm killed it, another hour gap and I think it gets closer to 700k. Last of the NBA afternoon games for at least a while.

Re: USFL Week 5 predictions
Having watched it live and replay - i thought it was a fun competitive game. Yeah Birm got alot of penalties but from what I can tell they were legit. It was hot and frustration ran high. And getting buzz on social media won't hurt.XFL Crusader wrote: ↑Tue May 16, 2023 2:17 pm And the Stallions game was a complete debacle. Folks were mad on social media.
