Why? In a five year contract there would be 20 first round games. If one is a "dud" matchup like this, 5 are going to be blowouts. That's much more likely to affect the contract price. And even then, I doubt it--the NFL has some weak matchups the first weekend of the playoffs (the mediocre division winners against the wildcards) and the NFL hasn't taken a hit.
Besides, as hank points out that's likely to be a championship game, and there's no way the nets can't promote the hell out of a cinderella vs. cinderella story.
