I noticed that too (expected lower Friday fares because most folks want to be at their destination already and/or aren't ready to go home yet). Sure didn't see lower fares on the routes I looked at.
It will be interesting to see what people who fly today report. IIRC, Sunday is one of the busiest days of the holiday weekend. People fly out early or even on Thanksgiving Day, but most folks I know still seem to consider the weekend over on Sunday and expect to be back to work on Monday.
