I agree, in this case, with a Friday game, it probably does matter a bit more. But I think there is also something to teams losing some sharpness when coming off a bye. I've certainly seen it from our team coming out of byes some 1st quarters. Certainly you see it in bowl games though that is a longer layoff. That versus the extra rest for injuries you get.

There's also some factor to facing a team for the second time in a season, but that's a separate issue which doesn't always apply in the CCG.
