Yeah, that's true. Happens to car tires as well.
But only the balls on one side of the field? lol. Must have been significantly colder on the pats' bench.
Not to mention that 11 of the balls were 2 PSI underinflated... but the 12th was just fine.

The folks at SportsScience addressed this issue in 2010. A ball exposed to 10-degree temperatures for an hour, the pressure drops from 13.5 PSI to 11 PSI.

Sportsscience is pseudoscience imo. A way for ESPN to appear "smart," when they really aren't all that smart at all.

Curious as to how the Patsies balls were under-inflated and evidently the Colts balls weren't. I'm sure science just decided to "bless them" like Wussell Wilson is found of saying.

As NFL investigates Deflate-gate would be wise to speak to Ravens. Some there believe kicking balls used in their playoff game underinflated

There appeared to be less air in some kicking balls which may have had an impact on the depth of punts and kickoffs in AFC Divisional game

But....
An NFL spokesman said as of tonight they had no knowledge of a Ravens complaint about the kicking balls from their playoff game

I will say that pretty much everything I've written about this issue has specified "IF the Patriots are guilty..."

No one's calling for mob justice... well, AFAIK.
Well now i tend to believe they are cheating. 11 balls under inflated seems a bit less like an accident.
