Nah...

Up because CH/ GB huge fan bases

Opening day local teams

NE/ Pit primetime

MNF doubleheader featuring Gruden/ Oak drama and New Orleans Saints (people like to watch the Saints)

When the league can schedule legacy teams and dictate matchups early they win ratings

Ain't noone watching Jets/ Dolphins week 14 or Lions / Bill's week 11 or say a 4-10 Pit team versus a 6-8 Bears team week 15.

West Coast going to struggle as Dodgers will take viewers away from LA market thru early Nov. Unlike Central and East where NFL starts early, MLB follows at night.
