Quote:Since the time that NBC won the rights for Sunday Night games,   SNF is considered the grand NFL stage of the week.   Hence,  it's more difficult to get on SNF than MNF these days,

 

The better a team did the previous season,  the more likely that team will be on SNF football at least once.   Some teams with double digit losses end up on SNF,  not factoring in flexed games later in the season.   Almost always,  those are teams that are either in very large markets or amongst the most popular teams in the NFL.
