Wait till the NFL realizes that Directv has been over paying all these years and nobody will pay those prices.<br />
<br />
Single team plans is a great idea, but at what cost?<br />
<br />
Is it 1/16th of the cost of the regular package?<br />
<br />
Full cost is around $400. I can't see AT&T letting people get away paying $25 per season to see their favorite team play.<br />
<br />
Once you get rid of the exclusivity which is the only reason why AT&T pays up the nose to prevent hundreds of thousands of customers going elsewhere and open it up to streaming, you loose all the value in the product.<br />
<br />
A streaming customer is already cheap enough, no way I see them paying $400 or entering into a installment plan over 5 months.<br />
<br />
MLB plays 162 games per season, and you get every game every night.<br />
<br />
NFL plays 16 games per season, and you get only the Sunday games and pay 4 times the price.<br />
<br />
Only way streaming works is if the NFL takes over the entire thing themselves and does what the MLB does. But then again, I don't think the revenue is there.

<br />
MLB and NFL are not comparable.<br />
<br />
Football, in the United States, is like a religion.<br />
<br />
Baseball, in the United States, endures but its interest has been in decline.<br />
<br />
I won't say what I would predict. But, I would say that if people want NFL Sunday Ticket badly enough—and a lot do—they will pay for it.</div>
