If 11 of 12 Pats balls were under spec, and 12 of 12 Colts balls were within spec, you have evidence of cheating.

No. You have evidence of *something* being different. It could be as simple as where the balls were stored before they were submitted. It could also be evidence that the Colts overinflated theirs, or we’re at the high side.

Not buying it. It was 50 at game time and I’ve read that all balls are checked at the same time and marked. If it were so easy for 11 of 12 balls to fall under spec on what could be considered almost a fall-like day for football, then:

A. There’d be no psi rule to begin with because it would be too difficult to enforce.

B. This would be a very common occurrence and there would be no split among former players and other experts.
