Because there's less time for people to see the new box and make predictions with it. Lots of users already struggle with getting Thursday picks in already, and reducing the window of time for them to see and enter a prediction isn't fair to others.

Again, are you alright?

The users who forget to make Thursday picks don't open the NFL thread to begin with. Those who do care would simply go to a sports website and look up who plays on Thursday and make their pick in this thread regardless of the existence of a box.

I think you're sticking people in a binary "die hard vs. don't care" box. This is admittedly largely my intuition, but I get the sense that at least some of the people who have participated in these threads in the past rely pretty heavily on the thread itself as a reminder to make predictions. They're not so aware of their prediction status at all times to go look up who's playing and then predict it themselves.
