That is the ultimate prize. More TV money. The NFL is marginally concerned with the guy in the seat. They are courting the guys in the suites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you look at what @Aussie Joe had to say you would realize the NFL is planting seeds for another harvest. London is the closest BIG money new market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many Euros were wagered yesterday on the game. That might be one for the analytics department. Shhhh….another dirty little secret. Parlays and prop bets give meaning to meaningless games.

Chaos Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Will the league be disclosing what other experiments they will be running? I know we have this time lag experiment. And I am aware of the ongoing experiment to call defensive holding penalties on the Bills, but not their opponents. Any others? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
