Flexing to prime time games

Not sure if a thread existed but which of the remainder games on schedule can be flexed to primetime/SNF

Any chance Packers 11/24 does and how soon do they announce?

Every game should be on Monday night for the rest of the season!

GB, BAL, and/or NO could be flexed

GB: competing with NE-DAL for flex; would replace SEA-PHI

BAL: no real competition for a flex; would have to dislodge HOU-NE

NO: NE-KC is the completion for a flex; scheduled SNF game is SEA-LAR

In likely order:

1) BAL
2) GB
3) NO

Bear in mind, FOX and CBS have right of refusal to comply with the flex, especially if they have the marquee late afternoon game that week, AKA "America's Game of the Week"

Also, if it has NFCW title implications, either the 2nd Rams game or season finale against Seattle could be flexed...

There is zero chance the NFL flexes out Brady vs Watson

You have to keep in mind that the NFL can only flex two games every five weeks.

So if several other games have been flexed recently it is increasingly unlikely the nfl can/will do it.

They can't just flex anything they want.

Also, games have to be flexed two weeks in advance.

Pretty good breakdown here

If Fox protects Cowboys/Patriots, I could see the Niners Packers game flexed

Some of us traveling to the games care because it changes the travel plans. I hope the New Orleans game is flexed so we can party longer on burbon st instead of a local noon kickoff : (
Plus a battle for the # 1 seed

It'll even the playing field: west coast teams tend to do better in night games esp. vs a 10am start, for their body clocks
