Potential Flex to 4pm - Week 13

[dldove77]

Keep an eye on this one... pretty weak 4pm slate of games. I'd bet it gets moved.

And forget about moving it to 8:30pm... Eagles at Seahawks is scheduled.

The Sunday night matchup is Philly at Seattle. So that will not be moved, and the Rams at Cardinals matchup could have playoff implications. 

It is a slim possibility that our game is flexed, but unless the Cardinals collapse I doubt it.

I hope it stays at 1:00.

Yeah, that's why I said, "Forget about it."

Week 14 is when we could be flexed to 8:30 against the Vikings. Currently Steelers/Ravens... Steelers been decent but Ravens trash and both us and the Vikings could be very good fighting for 1/2/3 seed then.

Misread and thought you wrote "forgot" about it as in you forgot to include it in your first post

I highly doubt it. Heated rivalry, 2 successful teams through history and a giant fan-base in Steelers will not knock them off Sunday night.

I'd like to think NFL/NBC would put the better matchup in prime, but it's all about bringing in viewers for their advertisers. If Baltimore is still hovering around .500 at least, I bet they have a hard time pulling Pittsburgh out and putting us and the Vikings in. I hope so, though.

i think its more likely that the Pats/Bills game gets flexed. that could literally help decide that division if the upstart Bills can pull off a win against the mortal-looking Pats

Obviously the NFL will analyze it and make the best decision for their bottom line but that also includes the 2nd half of the game, and I expect (just like the NFL may wind up expecting) the Steelers to blow them out and be up huge in the first half and no one will watch the 2nd half. Vikings-Panthers is much more likely to be a game that holds viewers' interest thoughout. I'm not expecting it to be flexed but I think it's possible.

Possible, but FOX has the double header that weekend, and that's a CBS game.

It's at NO, why do we care about it being flexed
