Obviously the NFL will never eliminate it, but if it was up to you, would you abolish TNF, tbh?..

Additional football is always nice, but these games are fucking awful and pathetic, tbh..every TNF this season has been horribly played and lopsided, it's also a disadvantage to teams, too..

It shouldn't be this bad. The league tried to stack it with games that looked good on paper. It might just be cursed.

I don't want to get rid of it, though. The Ravens tend to play well on off-Sunday games.

It sucks. The matchups are generally between two shit teams, tbh. Couple that with the mere three days of preparation teams get and you have abortion of a game every time.

Packers -8 tonight was probably the easiest money in recent history. Vegas is getting raped tonight.

it will always get ratings, especially this time of year when your only alternative is watching a bunch of fat be@ners standing in a field, waiting to catch a ball. however, once basketball and even hockey starts up, that shit is useless. people watch it for the sake of watching it but most probably wouldn't be sad to see it go tbh.

It's especially strange considering the Packers are arguably the public's favorite team, too:lol..

Not sure what Vegas was banking on tonight..

Yep. Betting against the Jacksonville Jaguars is also easy money as well.

Doesn't every NFL team play on TNF during the year? Pretty much guarantees some shitty matchups

It's not a "curse," it's just that less preparation and rest time than normal leads to shitty-ass games....

I have to say, this was the best Thursday Night Football game this year and the best that I've watched in quite some time.

Green Bay, Seattle, and Dallas play 2 Thursday night games iirc

They should save us the commercial time and place it on the 20 instead. Kickoffs are a joke now.

Yeah its just sad to have a commercial right before it then the lousy touchback that lasts about 15 secs and back to more commercials

The commercials have been unbearable at times this season. The second Ravens game literally had four commercial breaks in less than a minute of game time. Greedy bastards. And that was a TNF game as well.

I think there should only be 2 teams who play 2.

Scratch that. Forgot about multiple games on thanksgiving. Those 3 and Bears play 2 thursday night games.

When you play San Diego, you will return it almost every time but will get to about the 35 at most and more likely around the 20 anyways.

How can the NFL talk about safety and play these Thursday night games? Talk about a stupid idea, there it is.

As we see the home teams have a huge advantage. So what you'd want to do is just lay the points and keep doubling the bet. Something I've been thinking about. What are the odds of road teams hanging within the number?

Have there been any upsets on Thursday night games? I think the advantage is more for the better team than the home team.
