Does anyone know or understand how the Thursday Night game is picked? I know CBS gets the AFC, FOX he NFC and Sunday night football goes to NBC (who I thought got first pick) but where does MNF and especially Thursday Night Football fall in this pecking order? I ask because tonight's game seems uncharacteristically interesting.

I'm not totally sure, but i think the two off slots, Monday first, Thursday second, are chosen before the season week by week depending on what games the TV people think will get the best ratings. I know nothing about how NBC monday night football figures into this. But i'm sure its a mess when its all said and done.

The Thursday Night and Monday Night games are out for bids, just like the Sunday games are. High bid wins.
I think they generally try to put what they think will be a better match-up for the prime time games. It only makes sense to put your best games on when there isn't another game to watch. They just aren't always successful in predicting who the best teams are going to be months before the season starts.
