Oakland at Kansas City – Mike Carey
Miami at New England – Al Riveron
NY Giants at NY Jets – Pete Morelli
St. Louis at Pittsburgh – Clete Blakeman

Tampa Bay at Carolina – Carl Cheffers
Cleveland at Baltimore – Walt Coleman
San Diego at Detroit – Ed Hochuli
San Francisco at Seattle – Ron Winter
Philadelphia at Dallas – Bill Leavy
SUN, DEC 25
Chicago at Green Bay – John Parry
MON, DEC 26
Atlanta at New Orleans – Jeff Triplette
Off: Scott Green
I’m going to guess Steratore in Pittsburgh since it’s Christmas and he hasn’t done a Steelers game at all this year.
I have a feeling Triplette is going to work the Atlanta-New Orleans MNF game. Him and Parry are the only two refs who have not done a Monday Night Game and Parry is ineligible for this game.
I am guessing Boger in Indy and Parry in Green Bay since they have the fewest “primetime” games
Jerome Boger is eligible for ATL @ NO.
I have the same exact guesse Michael
Thanks to Preth’s explanation on the Week 15 page, my guesses for CLE-BAL are Coleman, Triplette, Steratore and Carey, although the point made about Steratore not doing PIT all year is valid…
Yeah and Steratore lives in Pittsburgh so I bet he does that game.
Well, what do you know? My ref source within the Ravens has told me it’s COLEMAN for CLE-BAL. First on the board this week!
Joe, Great job !!! Now just find out who the referee will be for the AFC Championship game in Baltimore next month !!!
Jumping the gun a little bit? 😛
Hey, I didn’t pay my $599.00 for nothing this season !!! lol
Joe, 2nd time for the Milkman doing a Ravens game !!! Worked the week #9 game against Pittsburgh !!! Preth that makes it the 4th crew to work the Ravens 2 times this season. {reg. season}
Any idea who will be doing the eagles @ biys game?
Not until the middle of the week.
One of Anderson, Corrente, Cheffers, Triplette, Leavy or Steratore.
Each of these crews, except Triplette have had two or three PT games …neither Leavy or Corrente has had had SNF, while Cheffers and Steratore had it twice. While flex scheduling does mess up PT assignments I’d venture a guess at Triplette who only has one PT game, and has not had it since wk 5….also, Triplette has only had Eagles once, and not yet had Dallas
and you can ignore all that primetime info because I forgot next week is Christmas, and all the games are Saturday except for Chi-GB. But those 6 crews are eligible.
Also, I’ll venture that Parry takes the Christmas Day game next week. He’s only had one primetime game as well, lives close-ish to Wisconsin and has had neither GB or Chicago all season
Guess for WK #16 2011 – Ed Hochuli
Dolphins VS Patriots
Jaguars VS Titans
Falcons VS Saints
WK #16
Buffalo – Anderson
Pittsburgh – Blakeman
Indianapolis – Boger
Detroit – Hochuli
Cincinnati – McAulay
Tennessee – G. Steratore
I’ll take “NFL Referees Named Clete” for $200.
This man will be the head official for the St. Louis Rams at the Pittsburgh Steelers game played at 1 p.m. Dec. 24.
Brian…
Who is Clete Blakeman?
Correct.
Thanks for the confirmation!
R-85 in Detroit WK #16
ok couple guesses Based on Minimal Primetime exposure John parry will indeed be in Greenbay and Jeff Tripplette in New Oreleans guesses only from me
From BTFS
Buffalo – Anderson
Pittsburgh – Blakeman
Indianapolis – Boger
Detroit – Hochuli
Cincinnati – McAulay
Tennessee – G. Steratore
Yep, your right on, Hochulis in Detroit on the 24th and the
following week he is in New Orleans on the 1st.
David first you have to win out and hope Pittsburgh looese and then it won’t be in Baltimore even if they do it will be in Foxboro home of the Patriots
Yes in Foxboro, They have done so well there in the postseasson the last two years !!!
Scott Green must have the bye week since Blakeman and McAulay are working
and Riveron must be in New England
and Morelli must be in the Meadowlands for Giants-Jets, as he is the only eligible ref for it
and thus, finally, these are my guesses for what is not known, nor is a given with process of elimination:
OAK-KC — Carl Cheffers
MIN-WASH — Tony Corrente w/ Scott Green (if Parry and Leavy play out, this is the only possibility)
TB-CAR — Mike Carey
SF-SEA — Ron Winter
PHL-DAL — Bill Leavy (if Parry is in GB, he has to be in DAL)
CHI-GB — John Parry (would be $$$$)
ATL-NO —Jeff Triplette (would bet $$)
sorry for all these posts,
since Morelli is the only eligible ref for NYG-NYJ, it means Triplette must have MNF ATL-NO
Al Riveron is in New England. Confirmed from Patriots PR and Media Notes.
Zach Zaidman, sideline reporter for Chicago Bears, just announced via Twitter that Parry is indeed in for CHI @ GB on Christmas night.
Awesome, so we can guarantee that Leavy is doing PHL-DAL and Corrente (w/ Green) has MINN-WASH
that means that these are the remainders:
Carey – OAK-KC, TB-CAR or SF-SEA
Cheffers – OAK-KC or TB-CAR
Winter – TB-CAR or SF-SEA
Yep. And with Joe83’s Cheffers assignment, we could possibly complete the list in a record amount of time.
That was me, not Joe83. We’re not the same guy, but we’ve never been seen in the same room at the same time! 🙂
I’m confused. You’ve been providing the Cheffers assignments, even though you’re not Joe83?
Hi Preth: I´m not Joe Platania but confirm the assignment of Carl´Cheffers’ Crew in Bank of America Stadium (Tampa Bay @ Carolina, Sunday 01:00 P.M. ET)
Works for me. Thanks for the confirmation, Joe. 🙂
Parry’s first game ever in Green Bay. He still has yet to work in Chicago and Denver
Preth or anyone, Does anybody REALLY know how Tony Corrente is really doing? He was supposed to ref Seattle-Chicago but Hochuli ended up subbing for him.
I’ve got the distinct impression that he’s hanging in there – well enough that he had a legitimate shot to work last week’s game. Otherwise Hochuli would have been scheduled to work that game from the very beginning.
Unfortunate that it didn’t work out, but maybe he’ll be able to recover during the offseason and be in good health for the start of next season.
Neither Boger nor Carey has done a west coast game yet this year. Furthest Carey has been is Denver and Boger Arizona
Boger was in Den the first week this season…
Niceeeeeeeeeeee….. I my other Photog friend from Facebook and Twitter who took photos of Ed Hochuli during the AFC Championship game 2011 Jets VS Steelers……….
>>>>> Will be at the Chargers VS Lions game WK #16 2011… YES!
I received some nice ones this past week and they are posted on NFL85.com site!!!
I was actually right and im thinking well see Carey in Kansas City and Cheffers In Carolina hope im right 2 times this week 😀
Hope to see Cheffers in Carolina because he has yet to work a regular season game there according to my stats
Mike Carey in Kansas City. Confirmed by Chiefs PR.
Joe, Gerry, and Ryan – the spam filter is a bit wonky right now, sorry that your posts didn’t go instantly.
thnx Preth I had a feeling there was a problem
Just FYI….according to my sources at Ashburn Park for the Skins Tony Corrente is a game time decision. There was mention from Carl Johnson that a replacement might be named at the last minute to fill in for Corrente. That replacement was not named at this time but one would conclude with Green living in the VA/DC area with his job that he would be more than likely to be that fill-in as most have already stated.
I agree. We’d know by Firday at latest since Corrente lives in Cali, he obviously wouldn’t fly out. If for some reason Green can’t go, Boger lives in ATL and I think Triplette is on the east coast somewhere. Parry is in Ohio
Triplette is in Charolette
He used to live in Charlotte because he was an executive for Duke Energy, but I think I read somewhere he left taht job and just lives on the east coast now
I believe I read somewhere he is now living in Alabama
I just looked it up a fe whours ago, and for some reason it didn’t post when i commented. He is in Oxford, Mississippi, where FNC, Inc. is headquartered
Did anyone notice the Vegas line went down 4.5 points last week in the Chiefs – Packers game ???
Would like to give Cheffers some kudos for calling maybe the best game of the year. Quick and clean.
Last Sunday Night’s game, to be specific.
Just came up with this strange stat lol , Scott Green who is off this week has not worked a game in the “south” , the three cities in Florida and Atlanta since 2008
Hey Tom, you had an excellent answer to one of the questions for you the other day. I’d give it a 50 on a scale of 1-10.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all!
tony is working his game glad to see him back and able to give it the go hes a pro! Merry christmas to all
I meant to send a message yesterday but got wrapped up in work stuff. Saw Tony yesterday. Looks a little skinnier and missing his hair however was in good spirits and glad to be back.
Great to hear!
Good to see Corrente back in action in Washington this week
Great information. Lucky me I recently found your website
by accident (stumbleupon). I have bookmarked it for
later!
