I've been to games that aired despite maybe 20K in the stands. The season tickets are sold tickets whether people show up or not... Unless something has changed recently, channel 4 probably bought whatever leftovers there were at a heavy discount. They comp tickets, as well. So they can "sellout" without literally selling all the tickets in the stadium.

Probably the biggest risks are Buffalo and Cleveland. The rest of the teams on the schedule are either popular franchises nationally or division opponents.
