1. Oh, Thursday Night Football. Perhaps the deluge of injuries this week between the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals will be enough for the league to make the smart decision and cancel it. Thursday Night Football debuted in 2006 as a special production, but it didn’t become the bane of our existence until 2012 when the league decided to push out the product every single week.
The average Thursday Night Football game ends with a 12.5-point victory and 45.2 points combined by the two teams. That suggests an average final score of 28.9 to 16.
