I think the patriots are pumping hot air into the game balls before ref inspects them.

Then the ball will cool down and the pressure reduced.

Nobody is tamping the balls. Just some simple physics

You can do some tests to find out the relationship between the temperature difference and the ball pressure.

For example, if every 20degree corresponds to 1 psi, to make the ball from 12.5 psi to 11 psi, the air will be heated 30 degree higher than the temperature in the fields. Looks like they did the same thing wigh 11 balls


The ball with the right psi, looks like it is used as reference.
