What, exactly, do you expect them do to "prepare"? Friday they had more time to unload the contracts, and today they have less.

Sell futures on Friday, buy today (to close out the position). Profit from the predictable price difference.
But no one expects perfect predictions far into the future.
(Short-) sell last Friday, buy today at about 0 to close the position.
