Sunday Night Flex Possibilities(MERGEDx2)) (1 Viewer)

I think they flex GB/Bears. If Philly wins next week against Dal, then GB beats the bears next week... the 3/6 seed wild card game will be GB-Bears again! I think this is good because we win our first, then go to Philly, then if GB beats ATL they come to the dome right?

Don't put anything past the NFL/NBC in getting certain markets into the slot.

Pittsburgh is still playing for a #2 seed/division title. PIT-CLE?
Or Giants might need a win to get in... so NYG-WAS?

neither would shock me.

NYG-WSH is out. Scheduled to kick off at 4:15 EST.

Still looking like it's either TB-NO or STL-SEA.

Wouldnt they wait until after MNF? If we win we might rest people against TB who would then be pretty much out of it i think.

There is a report out of Chicago saying that the SNF game will be STL-SEA, with most other games of significance kicking off at 3:15 CST.

If this is all true, it looks like it'll be a noon kickoff for us, and we'll probably be the highlighted match-up for the early game.

how is stl-sea bigger than no-tb? Aren't we the defending super bowl champions??

I don't think it's an indictment of TB-NO not being a big game, so much as it's an acknowledgment of STL-SEA being guaranteed to be a win-and-in, lose-and-go-home game.

Besides, it also looks like every other NFC game with playoff implications is being moved to later kickoffs (CHI-GB, NYG-WSH, and DAL-PHI), so if all of this is proven true, we would be Fox's showcase game in the early slot.

That means the League thinks we're winning Monday night. :17:

St. Louis and Seattle is the only winner-take-all game on the schedule. Any other game wouldn't have at stake what this game has.

Sea vs STL flexed to SNF

I was going to post that the SEA-STL game will most likely be flexed. The other options would be NO-TB and GB-CHI because of the playoff implications of both, but the SEA-STL makes the most sense because there is nothing else that is influencing that game. The other games all can be made moot by what other teams do.

Apparently the NFL thought so too.

WWL TV's 4th Down on 4 is reporting that the Saints vs. Bucs game will remain at Noon CT and not flexed to Sunday Night.

It's official, the Rams @ Seahawks game will be flexed to Sunday Night.

Now I wonder, will Fox FINALLY send their A-Team of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman to cover a regular season home game of the defending Super Bowl Champions New Orleans Saints? I know most of you hate Buck and Aikman, but you have to realize that getting this crew is a sign of respect.
