Do you understand how much Americans love football?
Quote:
That’s its highest-rated season ever, and it has SNF on pace to be TV’s top-rated prime-time show for a fifth straight year, one of only four shows since 1950 to achieve that distinction.
What’s particularly notable there is that Sunday Night Football didn’t just sneak into that top-rated spot, it dominated it. The 22.5 million viewers it received on average put it 28 per cent ahead of the number-two show, which was the eight Thursday Night Football games on CBS (17.6 million).

The one Sunday night game is also a marquee game between the Packers and Giants so it will likely be closer to 25-30M. I'd also argue that there's probably a pretty big crossover between NFL fans and Trump supporters, and I say that as a big NFL fan.
That said, I agree that it favours Trump more to not see him getting killed by Clinton on national TV.
