Seattle was slotted to play Philadelphia at 8:00 p.m. next Sunday night. But the NFL moved that game to 1:00 p.m. so they could show Green Bay and the 49rs at 8:00 p.m instead. I get it, two 9 win teams on primetime equals more ratings and ad revenues.
What I don't get, however, is why the Seattle vs. Philly game has to be at 1:00 p.m. Seattle will be in Philly for what is essentially a 10:00 a.m. game for them. Why couldn't the NFL at least make that game a 4:00 p.m. game? It's proven science that, due to circadian bio rhythms, west coast teams struggle going East and playing at 10:00 a.m. How fucking hard is it to make games start at 4:00 when such circumstances arrive?
