I don't see any reason why it would.

Vinny said an interesting thing on RN last night; (paraphrased) the first 6 games, motivation is easy as a new season starts and everyone has a shot; December motivation is easy if you sniff playoffs; but mid october to Thanksgiving- that is the hardest of the motivational times as it really is a week to week grind.
In that light, late Oct-Nov games do usually lack a lot of definition as teams are jockeying for position, and maybe some other motivation can be used?
