A noon EST start is just silly (especially on a weekday).
TV stations need to fill airtime, that's the gist of it. The NFL has three timeslots on Sunday to fit in 10+ games. If they had 3 games, they'd still have the same 3 timeslots, see playoffs.

But it is stupid, especially for betting and fantasy. Who wants to set a lineup and track it for 13 hours?
