With the NFL opting out of the New England-Indianapolis game, I suspect that the Packers-Giants matchup will be the one they are most likely to move into the 8pm slot.
There are several intriguing matchups that week, including Detroit-New Orleans that the NFL can choose from. Still when you factor in the fan base of Green Bay and the TV market of New York, the Packer-Giant contest is likely to draw the largest TV rating.

Fox has protected this game, it can't be moved.

Fox protected that game against the flex.

I guess Fox does get something for the multiple billions they shell out then. Guess we'll be watching Lions-Saints then...could be a wildcard spot on the line in that one.

This is great news; the Colts are hazardous to my viewing health and should only be watched by die hard fans who love pain.

I was thinking if Tampa had kept winning they would flex the GB vs TB game on the 20th. 10-0 Pack verses the 7-3 Bucs.

How many prime time games does the Pack have? Isn't there a limit to that?

Not as many as they're gonna have next year if they don't lose a game or two.
