On Thanksgiving looks like you should eat dinner early to enjoy the late game. A lot of hype surrounding this Friday game, could the Tim Boyle hype be real? A handful of big games on Sunday (Jacksonville at Houston 👀) and we are blessed with another Josh Dobbs primetime game!

Honestly Thursday night games should be moved to friday night altogether, thursday is too soon, and the games are almost always shit cause of it, plus nothing is on friday nights, and a lot less people need to get up in the morning, Geno is going to be playing injured and theres a high chance he gets really injured if its not healed up enough.

This isn't a real reason, its a "Well its just the way its been" reason, lol.  All it took for Amazon to get this game was money, and they're going to be doing product placement throughout the game, so its going to be like a big commercial.

 

Anyways after a quick search the real reason is its actually a law.

 

A 1966 amendment withdrew antitrust immunity for any pro football telecast if a high school or college football game is played within 75 miles of the station airing the NFL game. That essentially eliminated Friday NFL games in September and October.

If anything they should schedule Thursday night games off of a bye or something. Then players get rested up. It's not a strategy that works early in the season however since they want TNF every week.

 

However, the quality of football these days is pretty low no matter what day of the week they are playing 🤷‍♀️

Broadcast TV has always avoided putting expensive content on Friday and Saturday nights, because traditionally it has the lowest ratings -- largely because they are the nights that are most often used for social events rather than watching TV.

Not sure this applies to football, cause one of the most common social activities on a friday is going to a bar, every bar in America has TVs for football, pretty sure they're not going to feel bad about having to put on football on a friday.

On Friday you're there to pick up the ladies. When they go home the next day you come back to watch football on Saturday.

I'm sure you could come up with a million reasons for any day, but the fact is if they could the NFL would offer Friday/Saturday night games and someone would pay them a billion dollars for the rights, and millions would watch it, lol.

Your average Sunday morning Germany NFL game gets triple the ratings of a Saturday night prime time college game.

Would people tune into a Friday/Saturday night football game?  Sure.  Would less people tune in than games at other times -- probably.

I mean, obviously, lol, any nationally televised NFL game will crush any college game in viewers, the NFL is far more popular, it really isn't close.
