The NFL released their regular season schedule. The Pats only have four games at 1pm. Due to their success, they are a great draw on television. Three of their 1pm games come at the end of the season during the "flex schedule" period which allows the networks to shift the times of the games.
Eight of their games will be on Sunday at 4:15. They will have two Sunday night games as well as two on Monday night.
It's great that the team is being showcased nationally. This is a product of their success. However, I still prefer to watch them at 1pm on Sunday afternoon. I have always felt that this is the traditional time of day to play football.
In the end, television drives almost all of the decisions that are made related to the schedule.
