I don't think the difference between 1:00 and 4:00 on Sunday will amount to much... it's the same number of sleeps after all. 

In the case of Thursday games, the home field advantage doesn’t involve the fans, it involves the amount of time that can be dedicated to physical recovery and installing the game plan. The home team has the advantage in that aspect, as their players can go to meetings, walkthroughs, and recovery treatments while their opponent is traveling during the short week.
