I would add that the NFL has ~2 month head start on NBA. So by the time the Mavs open, the NFL is already in mid-season, playoff races are starting to shape up and you have a sense of who is (or isn't) having a good season.
So far the prime time TV schedule hasn't provided many snoozers this year, with GB vs AZ tonight being a prime example. The ability to "flex" games between Sunday afternoon and Sunday Night has increased the quality as well. Plus the use of technology has upped the experience for a lot of people. Digital lines for first down, FG max distance, e.g. Multiple camera angles, Pylon cams, 3D views of plays all enhance the viewing experience and make it more of a "must see" production.
