Great games all around.

West Coast team, and start the game at 830pm eastern time on Saturday, yes it will have lower ratings. People on the east coast will be out doing things since their teams are not involved. If Saturday night was a good slot don’t you think there would be a weekly game there?

If you had a 10am game on the east coast, with 2 east coast teams, then fewer people on the West Coast would watch.

NFL would probably maximize viewership with 3 Sunday games like normal, but it depends a lot on who is in the games.

The only way they got burned was losing a Brady-Manning AFC Championship game. FOX gets hurt when teams from the NFC East go out early or don’t get in (No Giants, Cowboys, and then lost RG3 early).
