I'm half convinced the NFL is purposefully giving Amazon the worst games
Each team plays on TNF, unlike SNF and MNF. Going to get some bad matchups. Plus, no practice makes the games bad. Until the nfl adds a second bye week to give the teams 11 days between games for TNF vs 4 days the quality of the game will be bad.

We’ve got another banner week. All of the stand-alone games this week are pretty unappealing: Colts-Pats in Germany, Jets-Raiders on SNF, and Broncos-Bills. Slop through and through.
CBS/FOX are not just going to let NBC/ESPN/Amazon take the best games off their slots. Can't always have the likes of KC, Phi, Dal, SF, Cin, Bal, Buf in prime time each week.
Jets, AR got hurt and McDaniels was a complete and utter flop. Payton hasn't been a magician. Fields didn't elevate like some hoped he would. Bryce Young isn't a savior despite the run Carolina had in their final stretch of games last season. BB, aura of Patriot Way clearly more about Brady than BB. Without that leader for the rest to gravitate to, it's fallen apart.

A tie would make things way easier.
Would eliminate the likelihood of using strength of schedule as a tie breaker given ties are not common. As a Raiders fan, it killed us inside when we tied SF/NYJ for record, but due to that strength of schedule, it was SF, Jets, Raiders in that order. Bosa, Q. Williams, then Ferrell.

Screw that then, I want chaos
Not really chaos, but it comes down to strength of schedule, so if a couple of teams are tied at say 3-14, they use certain tie-breakers, if it's 3 or more tied, different tie breakers.

Raiders, Niners and Jets were all like 4-12 and due to the tie-breakers SOS, SF got to draft Nick Bosa. Raiders lost out on the 2 top defensive players. Big drop after those 2, even to Josh Allen whom Jax took, that was rated the next best guy.

Make Sunday nights game interesting by getting the Raiders D in fantasy and watch them run up a hig bar tab on Wilson.

Bet the under for a low scoring game. Jets can’t score and their D is strong so don’t think LV will do great offensively either.

Raiders D scored 30 points last week V Giants. Against that week O line they will get to Wilson alot, plus turnovers.

It spares the good teams from having to take the hit.
Amazon or another network looking at future TNF package really need to talk to the nfl about adding a second bye week to give teams time to rest up and prepare for a TNF game. That short turnaround from Sunday is hard.
I mean with the up and down cycle of the nfl the way it is going you’d have the same 20 teams on these 3 stand alone prime time games. And leave out the bottom feeders.
