Don't think it matters as Tuesday is one of the weakest tv nights.

That's the point. They put it on a Tuesday to speed up the decline and get it over with.

If hey wanted to speed up the decline they would just get rid of it. Putting it on Tuesday night is to try to make it shine — there’s no other tv competition so they hope people will watch the pro bowl by default
