I live in Columbus, Oh. Will I not get the boys/pats game because the browns are playing the 4 oclock on cbs? That would royally suck if so. I feel like theres some rule about not getting another game on tv if your home team is playing on another station at the same time.
 
and its FOX turn to have the DH CBS has one this week

Doesn't matter with regards to the blackout/"2 games at once" rules.

To answer the OP's question. Or at least answer with what I think is the rule. It depends on if the Browns are at home or not. I think if they are at home and it's on at the same time then they won't show the other game, but if they're on the road the double header will still be played. I could be wrong and it's the opposite, but it's something to do with that.
 
The Browns are @ Raiders so you should be able to get a game opposite it. I don't know if it will be that game or not.

I know about this site but they won't have next weeks maps up until tues or weds so I was hoping someone would know about this.

try this link and keep it for future reference http://www.titantv.com/

You load it for your area and cable provider and you can see the TV (including football) line ups for the coming 2 weeks. Been using this site for a few years and it's never failed me!

Thank you, I sure hope you're right and because the game is away I'll get the boys game.

Also thanks to the guy who provided the titantv link.

If your market team is playing at the same time as the cowboys and it's a HOME GAME, you won't see the game on the other network

Example, I was able to see the steelers on CBS who played the same time as the eagles who played on FOX because the eagles were in Buffalo. If the Eagles played buffalo here in philly, there would not have been a game on CBS at 1pm

Since the Browns are on the road and it's a Fox doubleheader weekend, it means that the poster nFL schedule will look like this

1pm-FOX game

4pm-Browns at Raiders


So the poster won't see the cowboys game.

The last 2 posts are contradictory.

No they are not. I originally thought the Browns had a HOME game so I thought that the poster would not see the Boys on Fox because the browns would be on CBS at 4pm instead

Now that I know the Browns are on the road and it's a fox doubleheader weekend, The poster will get a Fox game at 1pm and his home market team at 4pm on CBS.

Understand now what I mean?

See it?

Regardless of whether or not they're at home, they'll be on a 4 on CBS.

Why wouldn't it be:

FOX Early Game

CBS Late Game (his home team)
Fox Double header game (Cowboys)

I'm with you on this one. I'm pretty sure those posts are contradictory. If its not a home game then I should get the fox double header game, which that one website says I do. Let's just hope its correct.

Both tvguide.com and titantv say I'll be getting both the browns and the boys games.

That is correct

1. it's a fox double header
2. The browns are on the road which is a CBS game at 4pm

you get to see the Cowboys game
