Ugly and Meaningless Prime-Time NFL Games Creating Need for True Flex Scheduling

The NFL’s Christmas present to its fans Thursday night is the awe-inspiring matchup of two teams that are not only out of playoff contention, but also trying hard to get out of their hometowns.

Aptly dubbed the U-Haul Bowl by San Diego radio personality Dan Sileo, the battle of the 4-10 San Diego Chargers at the 6-8 Oakland Raiders is a matchup only a Daily Fantasy Sports fan could love.

Even that might be a stretch. Especially on Christmas Eve. You’d hope.

What the Chargers-Raiders game represents for the NFL is more of a cry for help.
