They might be concerned about Justice Kennedy's vote. If it's a tie without a new judge seated, it goes back to the previous ruling. If they wait for the new judge, Kennedy may still rule with the liberals, giving them a 5-4 victory.
Sorry, seeing the Detroit Free Press as a source is a red flag for me here in Michigan. At least it deserves a rebuttal piece that scrutinized their work.

Probably one of the best Super Bowl games I've seen. They used to be blowouts awhile back but the past few years it seems like it is usually a close/ good game.
Falcons had this game if they just run the ball and take the FG. Puts them up two scores with little time. Ryan took that sack. Took them out of FG range.
