High school football is also huge in parts of the US and Friday night is their night.

Thursday night NFL games should be done away with, the games are usually terrible, 3 days between games just isn't enough to recuperate.
Ahh, that would explain it then thanks.

I think we are just used to having games on Saturdays here. But yeah we do have some Sunday and midweek games as well...
