This week will be the first time that NBC can pick the Sunday night game!
Does anyone know when that game is selected each week?

Sorry - Got it :oops:

- the schedule is announced the previous Tuesday and this week it will be Chicago Giants game!

Next weeks game will be announced tomorrow!! How great would it be to see the pukes get trounced by the Colts?

Who wants to bet it's the Chargers and Broncos the week after that?

Good game HS! The NBC Sunday night "game of the week" is a win win for everyone :wink:

I know they can only select from the Sunday games but at least towards the end of the season you will normally get a good game each week.

The first two weeks have been picked:
Nov. 12 - Bears at Giants - NO/Pit moved to 4:15
Nov. 19 - Chargers at Broncos - Ind/Dal moved to 4:15

Each decision must be made no later than 12 days in advance. The Week 17 decision has a 6-day limit.

Too bad Monday night isn't playing by these rules as well. That Seahawks/Raiders game last week was miserable.

Technically, all the games from here on out aren't really SET to a time. All the East/Central games are put at 1:00 by default and the Pacific games are at 4:05 or 4:15 -- depending on which network has the doubleheader.

After the NFL and NBC picks its flex game for 8:15, CBS and Fox make changes based on what's left. Eagles-Colts would have been a Fox game. So now, Fox has to decide which game(s) it wants for the 4:15 doubleheader slot.

Not only was Bears @ Pats moved to 4:15, Giants @ Titans was as well. This also keeps intact the desired schedule of having one NYC team on at 1:00 and the other at 4:00.
