Advantages on road games prior to holidays is true, but when they say that it's generally not on the second night of a back to back like tonight. When one team is rested and one team is tired, there are obvious advantages. You think too much is being made if it? I never heard the excuse from players or coaches.

They are not driving to the airport, going through security and waiting at their gate. It is just over 2 hours of flying time (852 miles) depending on conditions,not cross country as some have said.
No players or coaches used it as an excuse for the media, only fans. I’m not buying the “mind was willing but the body was weak” excuse personally. That doesn’t account for laying an egg.
