Any games gonna be FLEXED this year?

Week 15 @ Giants is kind of promising based on the currently scheduled SNF game. Right now, it's Bengals @ Steelers, which no one will want to watch if the Steelers continue to suck. Of course, by that same token, the Giants would need to stop sucking to make it to prime time. That week also has Pats/Dolphins and Packers/Cowboys. I'd think both are more likely to get the prime time slot.

Not sure if the niners game can be flexed, I may be wrong but I thought there was a cap on the number of prime time games teams could have, and the niners were already maxed out?

That may just be some incorrect BS I heard somewhere though.

10am games can not be flexed.

I don't think this is true. Are you basing that on the language that says only afternoon games can be flexed? On the east coast, 10:00 AM PST games are afternoon games.

Whoops, reading that link earlier, more deeply, gives me this nugget

"For example, a game scheduled for a Sunday could move from a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff to an 8:15 p.m. start, but the change would be made and announced no later than the prior Tuesday, 12 days prior."

This exactly. The language is meant to stop TNF and MNF games from getting flexed.

The prior Tuesday would be five days later. They fail at English.

I'd like to see our Giants game get flexed, but I don't have faith that they won't be in the hunt for a top 7 pick at that time.

Normally I love the Hawks playing on Sunday night but I actually hope they do not flex the Giants game. I will be at that game and if it starts at 8:30pm on Dec. 15th it is going to be cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooold...........
