Week 17 Flex Game possibilities

The late game will be the Patriots and the Giants.

Yeah with the Pats going for the undefeated season. Hopefully not though, it would be great to see the Skins close out against Dallas at The Big Jack (YES I still call it that) under the lights !

Well, a 4:15 game would be played under the lights, too. :)

A Saturday night game, especially one on NFL Network, can't and won't be flexed. An exception to the rules would have to be made and it's really unlikely that would happen.

I agree Smootsmack, the NE@NYG game would be good for NBC on Sunday night, but they won't take that game away from the NFL Network on Saturday. Plus there is the other motivation of the League keeping what could be the Undefeated Season game on their Network, again just to piss off cable companies everywhere who won't put NFL Network on Cable. So glad I have Direct TV in HD!

That's correct - only Sunday games are eligible for the flex game. See the link in the second post for the rules governing the flex game.

Has a 1pm game ever been moved to 415? I thought the flex only allows 1 and 415 games to be moved to 8pm.

The Skins/Cowboys game would be a good move to 4:15pm then. The other two late Fox games are St. Louis @ Arizona (who cares?) and Minnesota @ Denver (pretty good matchup actually).

Maybe Titans/Colts will be the one moved to Sunday night. I could also see Saints @ Bears if the Vikings lose to us this week, making that game a must win for the Saints to get in.

Games move from 1pm to 4:15pm infrequently, but it happens. FOX and CBS will try to put in the best matchup late in the year in their National game, but it has to be done X amount of days beforehand so that fair warning can go out. I know it's happened a few times to the Skins...

I may be wrong, but I think Fox and CBS can pretty much move their one o'clock games to 4:00, and vice versa, at will.

And yes, 1:00 games are often moved to 4:00.
