Most prime time games are scheduled from the year before and to be honest there are so many , it really is not that big any more with hype etc... unless you really have two marque teams which is rare.. 2. Also division games it does not matter what time you play them, they are big in nature anyway. 3. As for attendance it has been recorded especially thursday night and sunday night games have had subpar attendance in most of the games compared to a Sunday day game.
I put more emphasis on a critical game in the season than just a random prime time game..
1. Over the last 2 years, we've played 8 prime time games. 6 of those teams made the playoffs the year we played them. Both games against non-playoff teams were against the Browns, a divisional opponent. So all 8 prime time games would've been deemed "big games" by most.
2. The argument isn't that divisional games only matter when they're in prime time. The argument is that prime time games are usually big. You say yourself that division games are always big in nature, so that only helps my argument that prime time games are usually big games.
3. This part matters the least, honestly, but prime time crowds are usually more amped than 1 pm crowds. I said nothing about attendance.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
