It's an interesting prediction. The Premier League have made 42 additional games available with the smallest packages being 20 and 24 games. If Amazon win 1 package it looks like SKY and BT will end up with more live games than they currently broadcast. If Amazon win 2 packages SKY and BT will be left with the same amount of games they currently hold.

Interestingly there are a couple of packages for midweek only games that might not be so desirable for SKY or BT due to their existing commitments to show Football League, The League Cup, Champions League and Europa League now those nights.
