No way.

I can see the argument for MNF, but I would be shocked if most people thought it was most prestigious.

I would rank them: SNF, MNF, TNF, late game, Europe Game, early game.

SNF for the past ten or so years. Always the best matchup. Used to be MNF.

Most prestigious regular season single game “time slot” is either opening night or Thanksgiving night game

Doesn’t matter. It still gets a higher viewership than SNF.

Also, it gets the best games. SF @ Philly today is a monster for ratings.

When I think "prestige," I think "west coast." Even moreso in the context of traditionally masculine activities like football, collecting and shooting guns, patronizing gender- and sex-discriminatory clubs, etc.

It’s a great excuse to leave the office at 5. Football timing in general is 180 on the west coast. The problem is having a wife and children who won’t let me ignore them for four days out of seven every week in the fall.

When MNF left ABC for ESPN it was broadly discussed that SNF was the new game of the week time slot. Part of the deal was that ESPN got last pick on the teams who played MNF so it was a lot of mediocre games that only gambling addicts and fantasy nerds cared about in the mid 00s.

But the CR to the OP is the second game on Thanskgiving. Cowboys Commies was the most watch regular season game in decades this year.

Now that you say that (re: the ABC to ESPN shift) I do recall that.

Still, the tradition! John Madden!

Madden/Summerall was always the main Fox broadcast, which was 1 pm eastern most weeks back in those days. MNF was Cosell and then Al Michaels for years on ABC before Tirico took over to do the TTT ESPN version.

Wrong. It had fewer viewers than Cowboys Giants last year on Thanksgiving

SNF is the league’s flagship time slot. MNF used to be when it was on ABC but once it went cable only the league deprioritized it. TNF is the worst.

Sunday Night >> Saturday Night Playoff > MNF > Sunday 4 PM > Sunday 1 PM > London 9 AM > Thursday

I just checked the ratings and the Sunday 4:25 game has actually out rated every SNF game I saw.

MNF had a monster rating for the Philly KC game that also killed any SNF.

CR.

The very best Sunday night matchups can win the week and beat the 4:25 window but this doesn’t happen the majority of times. Dallas/Philly on SNF next week is an example of when this could happen but CBS has Buffalo @ KC and that’s a big game too.
