If you play the Monday Night Wild Card game you have like 1.5 less days to prepare vs the other teams. Who will finish Sunday day games. Or 2.5 days vs Saturday teams. They won't play each other as the schedule lines up. But still.

Yeah I'm not a fan of them putting a game on Monday night. Seems like a disadvantage for the teams health and fatigue.

there must be enough data to check if a team that play on a monday losses more than average on the next sunday
I don't think it will be that important in the grand scheme of things

I agree completely. It's a big disadvantage for teams who draw that game. It could be us some year. For TV it's awesome. For competitive disadvantage it's terrible. I don't like it.

I was trying to find out... how does the NFL decide who gets to play that game? Or do they arbitrarily decide what would be the most interesting game on Monday night? To which, I have a problem with that.
I mean... If they had the 6th and 7th seeds play eachother that night, that could make sense in that it gives even more competitive advantage to the #1 seed that they'd have to play the following week... and it makes seeding more important because no one would want to be the #6 and #7 seeds, lol.

It seems just arbitrary. Is there any rhyme or reason to it? I don't like like it either way though.

It's an abomination to "fair play".
As bad a decision as a 17th regular season
game.
Basically, standard operating procedure for Roger G.

It's terrible. I hate it. For everything except TV. Which is why the decision was made of course. For TV.

Yeah they did. But that could be us some year. The concept is still very bad.
