Will Giants get max Prime Time games because of OBJ?

Headhunter : 1/29/2015 5:25 am
They would probably get 3-4 without him because NY is a draw. I think they will get the max allowed due to Beckham
I agree

He is the hot ticket next year.
I dont want any,,,,

Giants suck in Prime Time other than the SB!
Hadn't thought about it  
River Mike : 1/29/2015 7:17 am : link
but it could very well happen. I really, really hope not.
Well since they played 5 games in prime time this year

it might go up but how high?
After the last game

I was hoping for mostly 1:00 pm starts. I hadn't considered the Beckham factor. Alas you're probably right, hopefully we won't have to many Sunday and Monday blowouts again.
I'd prefer 16 games on Sunday's starting at 1:00pm

I do not like Sunday Night or Monday Night or Thursday Night. But going into next season Beckham has become must see TV and the NFL and Television are going to exploit it to the max at our expense.
Max is 6

only three teams can max out. For the rest it is five which has been typical for the G-men. I loved those one o'clock starts this year.
I think it's likely

that a star WR would get the NFL to consider moving more of his games to prime time. However, I can't say I remember the Lions getting extra games due to Calvin Johnson.
I hope not.

I still like Sundays at 1 or 4 best.
Shit!  
Big Blue '56 : 1/29/2015 8:20 am : link
Count on it..
They always play Dallas one game on Sunday Night  
superspynyg : 1/29/2015 8:20 am : link
plus 1 Thurs night game. I can see us getting a Monday night and another sunday night maybe against Phi.
I'll commit to as many night away games as possible  
weeg in the bronx : 1/29/2015 8:45 am : link
all home games at 1 PM please
Does the league  
pjcas18 : 1/29/2015 8:48 am : link
do this?

The Giants were 6 - 10, many of those games with Beckham.


I don't think the league wants to highlight a good player on a bad team. and based on the track record the past few years the Giants don't deserve more night games.

The league is usually a little behind the curve here, and you get more night games after the team becomes good, not in advance of.

I think the Giants get 4 prime time games. Maybe 1 MNF game, 1 Sunday night game and the other two possibly a Thursday and 1 that could be any of the three.

And I think that's plenty, they can always flex games if the Giants are contenders.
Certainly they don't deserve them on merit  
Headhunter : 1/29/2015 8:51 am : link
but the National buzz OBJ has created, they'd be bad business not to exploit the Phenom that is Odell Beckham Junior
I would love for the NYG  
DavidinBMNY : 1/29/2015 9:38 am : link
to get a thanksgiving game. This could be the ticket.

The NFL is not the NBA, where stars matter above all else.  
Devon : 1/29/2015 10:00 am : link
The Giants will get more PT games than their bad team grade (until proven otherwise) merits because of their market and their rivalries with "good" teams like Dallas, Philadelphia, and, for this season, NE.

Beckham won't have much to do with it.
flex scheduling makes it semi-irrelevant  
Jesse B : 1/29/2015 10:03 am : link
But Dallas and gmen will be one. there will be a Thursday night game. They won't be able to resist giants and pats as a night game and probably a Monday night game.

But if the Giants ate terrible they'll flex Them out of the games later in the season if they need to
4 before the flex scheduling adjustments

If the team looks like they are on a playoff run it could go to 5 or 6.
It does open up your day  
mattlawson : 1/29/2015 11:54 am : link
When they play at night.
I wont even dare say  
natefit : 1/29/2015 11:56 am : link
why thats risky for the networks but we certainly will get more than we did last yr.
Regular Sunday games  
jLefty : 1/30/2015 3:23 pm : link
1:00 or 4:30. Anything after 8:30 sucks.Beckham or no Beckham.
