Do you really believe what you wrote?  Laughable.

Its pretty basic economics really. And I only know that because I'm one of those people that had to book a flight and hotel room without knowing which day the game is. 

 

For example, if my flight is Friday and I know for sure that the game is Saturday, I can get away with only booking one night instead of 2 nights if the game were on Sunday, therefore costing the hotel money. It also forces you to book a Monday return flight early, or risk waiting till the prices soar for a Sunday flight if you know the game is Saturday.

 

you're fooling yourself if you don't think the NFL has agreements like that with major airline and hotel companies

The NFL could care less if hotels/airlines make money.

They're not going to schedule a 1p ET game if it's SEA vs SF (for example), regardless of how much SF hotels could possibly make in the deal.

You just need to do a better job of planning on your road trip. Enjoy the city you're in for an extra night and roll into work around noon on Monday with a big fat Victory Monday smile on your face.

Venom has better conspiracy theories about 9/11 than your theory on this.

C'mon, man. The NFL schedules its playoff games to draw the highest ratings. Once they know the matchups, they'll schedule the games. The game that is most desirable to viewers will be scheduled at 4pm on Sunday. If that's an NFC game, an AFC matchup will be scheduled at 1pm Sunday and 8pm Saturday night. The other NFC game will be Saturday at 4pm. Each conference gets an early game and a late game. 

And that's it. They're not in cahoots with hotels and airlines.

And by the way, try booking any travel to any city at the last minute. You'll see that it has nothing to do with sports.

Besides, *anything* can happen before the season is over.

Take a look at http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/12/26/upshot/2015-nfl-playoff-paths.html?src=twr&smid=tw-upshotnyt&smtyp=cur#car to see the following:

The flowchart for the Falcons is almost comical.

But tools like this show why the NFL can't possibly begin scheduling games anytime before the season is over.

      NFL Week 5 -Other Games

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      This thread is dumb. But I do think canales gets too cute with play calling and I don't think he's a good coach

      Any well functioning team benches Bryce

      By Waldo · Posted

      2 bad teams played yesterday and one lost. Both teams are still bad today. Bryce is a big part of that. It wouldn't have been a close game if DC would have just gone rage rushing from the start.  The Panthers would look so much better with just decent WB play. No way to avoid that fact.
