Pats-Cards stays at 1
The Patriots' home finale -- Dec. 21 against the Cardinals -- will remain a 1 p.m. kickoff, the league announced today.
The game was not chosen to move to prime-time as part of the flex scheduling.
Instead, the the Giants-Panthers contest will now be played at 8:15 p.m., with the Chargers-Buccaneers game moving out of that slot.
PATRIOTS HALL OF FAME NOTE: The Hall at Patriot Place will be closed to the public all day on Saturday, Dec. 13. The Hall will re-open to the public Sunday morning at 10 and resume its normal hours of operation.

please please please be a blizzard
Arizona has a lot going against them in this game.
* The game is at 10am in their internal clock. Az is 0-4 in the Eastern Time Zone this year.
* Even if it isn't a blizzard, it will still be cold. The Cardinals, especially Kurt warner, don't like the cold. Pats fans should know first hand what cold weather does to high-flying passing offenses.
* Arizona will have little to play for. They've already won their division, and will likely be out of contention for a bye by week 16. The only thing they'll be playing for is a 3 seed as opposed to a 4 seed.
It's a poor matchup for the Pats on paper. But the Pats will be the more determined team, by far.
Good points Dan. I just hope the Patriots change up their gameplan for the game if its bad conditions. They showed at the end of the year last year that they could win by grinding it out. I'm not sold on Cassel's ability to play in the cold, or this spread offense to succeed in bad weather.
Yippee! I'm going to this game and can't wait!
well, at least i can do some grocery shopping early if Arizona puts up 50 on this secondary...
