Every successful business has constant pressure to increase revenue. However, at some point, there&#8217;s nowhere else to stuff cheese on a pizza crust.<\/p>\n<p>The NFL has many opportunities for continued growth. This relates to the final weekend of the regular season.<\/p>\n<p>An ongoing quest in recent years <em>more<\/em> The league has deviated from its previous obsession of playing all final weekend games on the same day. That ended with last Saturday&#8217;s decision to offer (sell) a pair of games to ESPN.<\/p>\n<p>So why not hit the ground running for two days this final weekend of the year? Here&#8217;s an idea that was mentioned at last Saturday night&#8217;s NBC dinner. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s simple. This is one of the hallmarks of a good idea. In Week 18, the league will play half of the slate on Saturday and the other half on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Clear boundaries are a game within a particular meeting. All games in the final week of the season are divisional contests, so the league, for example, has 8 AFC games on Saturday and 8 NFC games on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>3 windows each day. He six windows on weekends. More football that fans consume when college football is over.<\/p>\n<p>To give all playoff teams a fair preparation for the wildcard round, Saturday&#8217;s two games will be played by the conference that played its last regular season game on Saturday. And a third game might take place on Friday night, giving the NFL his football for his four prime-time playoffs Friday through Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Whether the league does it or not, these are the kinds of ideas that will help grow the pie that&#8217;s currently bursting out of the bread. This is a simple adjustment that adds revenue without adding a penny to your expenses.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/__i\/rss\/rd\/articles\/CBMifGh0dHBzOi8vcHJvZm9vdGJhbGx0YWxrLm5iY3Nwb3J0cy5jb20vMjAyMy8wMS8xNC9uZmwtc2hvdWxkLWNvbnNpZGVyLXNwbGl0dGluZy13ZWVrLTE4LXNjaGVkdWxlLWJldHdlZW4tc2F0dXJkYXktYW5kLXN1bmRheS_SAYABaHR0cHM6Ly9wcm9mb290YmFsbHRhbGsubmJjc3BvcnRzLmNvbS8yMDIzLzAxLzE0L25mbC1zaG91bGQtY29uc2lkZXItc3BsaXR0aW5nLXdlZWstMTgtc2NoZWR1bGUtYmV0d2Vlbi1zYXR1cmRheS1hbmQtc3VuZGF5L2FtcC8?oc=5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Getty Images With the first day of the playoffs behind us, there&#8217;s one final item to consider regarding the final weekend of the regular<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7667,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7666","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-example-3","two-columns"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-1434568660-e1670957430611.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7666","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7666"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7666\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7667"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7666"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7666"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
