A big part of the issue in football is that every federation is competing for a bigger piece of the pie. UEFA want more European games and FIFA want a bigger club world cup. Meanwhile CAF will always want AFCOn to run every 2 years as it's their cash cow, and similar with other international federations.

Another advantage that NFL has is that all teams are at a more similar level, so more games feel big. This means that they'll get good viewership if they're spread out over the week, whereas I don't think many people are excited to watch Wolves Vs Fulham on a Monday night.
