Monday Night Football, in a way, can be a boys club where only the cool kids get to hang out. With little variety to scheduling, it’s not unheard of to see teams like New England, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Baltimore hog up all the prime-time slots each and every year. Ratings are the most important aspect to selling advertising space, so it does makes sense that networks would be picky, even snobbish to some of the sub par teams in the league.

Monday Night Schedule

Week 1: Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens
Week 1: San Diego Chargers at Oakland Raiders
Week 2: Denver Broncos at Atlanta Falcons
Week 3: Green Bay Packers at Seattle Seahawks
Week 4: Chicago Bears at Dallas Cowboys
Week 5: Houston Texans at New York Jets
Week 6: Denver Broncos at San Diego Chargers
Week 7: Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears
Week 8: San Francisco 49ers at Arizona Cardinals
Week 9: Philadelphia Eagles at New Orleans Saints
Week 10: Kansas City Chiefs at Pittsburgh Steelers
Week 11: Chicago Bears at San Francisco 49ers
Week 12: Carolina Panthers at Philadelphia Eagles
Week 13: New York Giants at Washington Redskins
Week 14: Houston Texans at New England Patriots
Week 15: New York Jets at Tennessee Titans

The Detroit Lions and Mathew Stafford finally got the Monday invite. It isn’t a hosted game, but the match-up between the motor city and Chicago Bears should be a great one.
