NFL time plan LECKS pull the carpet under the Buccaners with the Prime Time Mix Up from

The Buccaners don't get the showcase game they had hoped for

Come to find out that the game in question is a matchup in week 12 (on NBC) in Los Angeles against the Rams. The game actually takes place on Sunday evening football, November 23, which could easily be confused with Turkey Day at a glance, as this holiday swims from year to year. At a glance, it could be confused for Thanksgiving on Thursday, which in this case the source was only free since it falls on November 27 of this year.

This is probably a relief for players, but most fans love to see their team in prime time on Thanksgiving. Getting one of these places on this day is almost like a reward. In a sport in which most games are played on one day of the week (although the NFL has expanded a lot), it is a big deal to be the only game that is the case for all three games on Thanksgiving Day.

Because of this 50th year of Tampa Bay, it would have been a nice gesture in the league to give them this kind of honor. But since the Bucs are not a NFL heavyweight, they do not often get these options. While the league has spread national television and prime time games more evenly in recent years, a franchise like Tampa Bay is not as high as Dallas, Pittsburgh or San Francisco.

No, it doesn't sound fair, especially since the Bucs have recently won a super bowl than in any of these teams. However, these decisions are usually due to which teams draw the largest viewers, which leads to larger income. Tampa Bay cannot compete with the drawing of power alongside the organizations that are much longer and have larger fan base.
