Jets are a new addition this year considering this is the first time we’ve had an SNF game in like a decade
The last SNF game you had was the butt fumble and occurred on a Thursday, which just makes it even stranger.
Were
That's rough, buddy
New York is the number one TV market
Basically most the South prefers college football by polling as well
Survey says…Number one answer
The first two are because it’s NYC, the last is because they were a preseason Super Bowl contender.
10% of NFL teams are from NY it’s called math
Giants won a playoff game last year, Jets traded for Aaron Rodgers, and Bills were supposed to be Super Bowl contenders. Theoretically all three teams were contenders when the schedule was put together and the first two are in the NYC media market.
Giants wins were unsustainable.
Jets had a bad injury derail their season.
Bills got Josh Allen playing Madden every week.
Great analysis
Why didn't the schedule makers predict the Jets having a bad injury in Week 1?!
Giants and Jets big market, Bills supposed to be good.
It’s literally the biggest TV market in the US?
C’mon now…
You should really ask why Denver is getting so much primetime coverage after last years debacle when they had so many primetime games
Sean Payton hopium
Broncos always get primetime love
Popular teams get it
Denver has a huge fanbase coupled with Sean Payton addition.
And Russ is one of the few players who is recognizable outside of football.
Giants and Jets prime time games the past two weeks were in Vegas, not New York.
A lot of people live here, and the Bills have a top 5 QB
The Jets just traded for Aaron Rodgers before he got hurt, and the league seems to have forgotten they can flex games
The Bills were super bowl contenders
The Giants
$$$$
Bills are the Bills
Jets had Rodgers and were expected to contend for the playoffs
Giants made the playoffs last year
They were all gonna get alot of primetime love
Big market
Because the Giants were good last year and the league didn’t expect Rodgers to go down after 3 plays
$$
2 of them are massive market teams and the other is a team that was supposed to be one of the biggest contenders and has one of the biggest stars in football
Because ChatGPT was who created the schedule and pushed NY.
Wait until next year when AI takes over the schedule making and the Arizona Cardinals end up with 9 primetime games
Arizona has literally 0 primetime games this year.
Biggest media market in the US.
Because the jets and the giants had 2 of the highest paid quarterbacks. It's funny to see it blow up in nfl face
The bigger question is why are there so many prime time games with the Bears, Raiders, and Broncos. Unlike with the Jets, we knew they were going to suck.
Buffalo is a draw and there were also high expectations for the New Jersey teams as well.
Well the Bill's don't have THAT many
Now New Jersey on the other hand...
it's almost like New York is a big market
TIL Redditors don’t understand population size.
The answer you seek is inside the question.
Because New York is a huge market. No matter how bad the teams are tons of people will tune in with means $$$$$
“First time?”
big market teams are on prime time a lot regardless of record
Because there are a lot of eyeballs for their sweet, sweet advertising dollars. Same goes for LA
So we can see every ACL year without distraction.
