Doing this to 8 teams including 4 that would have to travel......plus NFL games tend to run over three hours....then then would hold each game until the previous was through....could you imagine if the first 3 went into OT.....YIKES!

I am ok with 3....didn't watch but about 1.5 anyway this Thanksgiving.......if it isn't my team or it doesn't have some meaning I typically don't even care to watch....

They don't have to hold up the other games before starting the next game. The NBA doesn't. The Rockets/Bulls game was already in the 2nd quarter by the time the Thunder/Heat game ended.

The travel wouldn't be an issue if the NFL would get with the program and make teams bye week before they play on TNF.
