[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 879624"] I think the odds are better than that but if I were a bookie I'd put the proposition at "off". First of all, since this is an opt-out thread, I would consider that a non-factor. Except for New England, the instances are isolated and camps have opened. It would stand to reason if you were going to opt out you'd do it before showing up. Maybe a few show up and then get cold feet in the next week before the opt out deadline passes. The agreement that has been reached between the NFL and NFLPA suggest that every effort will be made to have the show goes on. No number of out outs would stop the train from rolling on. Further, if a dozen players on one team tested positive as with the Marlins, I wouldn't be so sure the upcoming game would be cancelled. All other things being equal, I'd say they'd play. That "temporary IR" for players testing positive and the expansion of the practice squad to 16 players wasn't done for nothin'. Unlike baseball which is largely a socially distanced game, and unlike basketball in a "bubble" (a smart move even if Florida isn't the optimal locale), football is face-to-face, lots of yelling (yelling is as good as coughing in communicating this thing), with tackling and practice psudo-tackling, along with the habit of this virus ripping through a population in close quarters, the potential for a false negative test sneaking in and decimating a roster is certainly possible. But the operative term is "decimating". I don't believe a dozen will cross that threshold going into opening day. Frankly, if 30 players got it some weeks before the season started, it would not surprise me if they suspended camp for for some days or a week, re-test everybody and scrub everything, and then get back at it with the expectation that most of the 30 would be back at in 14 days.
