I’d like for someone to come up with a magical formula that explains why temperature would affect the Patriots’ balls and not the Colts’ balls.
The temperature affects all balls equally, of course. I was just wondering how much the pressure would change due to temperature changes only, and it turns out to be about 1/2 lb/in^2. If the Patriots footballs were measured to be 2 psi too low, that would be a problem, even if the measurement was done outside at 50 F.
