You can explain it until your are blue in the face but that doesn't change the fact that even experts don't all agree that the Ideal Gas Law was the reason.
But what about the Ideal Gas Law?

"Boston University professor Martin Schmaltz, who was one of the first scientists to invoke the law in this dispute. His original calculations seemed to suggest the deflated footballs could be explained by the physics.
Now he thinks the physics proved the Patriots deflated the balls."
"Deflategate report’s science holds up"

"While the ideal gas law states air pressure in a given volume will drop along with temperature — and the balls used in the AFC Championship game likely dropped in temperature when moved from inside the stadium to the 51-degree field —
the discrepancies between drops in pressure between the Colts balls and the Patriots balls was likely too much to be chance, according to Schmaltz.
And actually, EDN Network (an engineering community) writes, science rather indicts the Patriots, although it suggests less air was removed from the football than originally reported.
According to Schmaltz, the ideal gas law equation suggests a drop in temperature from 68 or 70 would produce a drop of less than 1 PSI in a ball inflated to 12.5 or 13 PSI. While the report found the Colts’ balls measured at or around the league-minimum 12.5 PSI at halftime, many of the Patriots balls were a PSI or more below that threshold, a drop so large its unlikely to have been caused by atmospheric conditions.
While a 12.5 PSI ball could drop to 11.6 PSI, by his calculations, with a temperature drop from 68 or 70 degrees to 51, given both sets being subject to the same conditions, it’s suspicious the Patriots’ balls would drop so much further.
“The Patriots’ balls are around there, some are a little bit low, so the Patriots’ balls are not inconsistent with having been deflated by going down in temperature,” he says.
“But it is very mysterious just based on why the Colts balls didn’t drop as much and the Patriots’ balls did.”
I would post more articles, including many from the EDN engineering community, but you a) won't read them anyway because you don't agree with them and b) probably just call them unqualified idiots who don't know what they are talking about because you don't agree with them. Oh and that Boston University Physics Professor must be jealous and a Patriot hater.
