Most NFL media people are predicting Panthers/Falcons will be flexed to SNF

[ThinkAboutIt]

no one gives a fug about CAR at ATL for the worst division on the NFL.  they picked the game that will generate much more interest to their viewing audience.  I agree with their decision.

 

No one gives a crap about Cincinnati either. They are showing that game because Pittsburgh is playing in it, even though Pittsburgh is already in the playoffs. The game means very little because only Ohio cares if Cincinnati even makes the playoffs. 

 

The Panthers-Falcons is still the most interesting game this Sunday. 

 

NBC went with "Pittsburgh," which has nothing at stake. fug 'em.

Doubt it, we'll probably be the National 1PM game on Fox.

Bengals-Steelers Week 17 game moved to Sunday night for TV purposes. Don't be surprised if Panthers-Falcons gets moved to 4:15 PM slot.

So they are going to have the Panthers/Falcon and the Lions/Packers game both being played at 4:25?

 

Not buying it, not good for ratings.

The game is scheduled for a 1 p.m. kickoff next Sunday, but there’s a good possibility it could be changed to 4:25 p.m.

 

Currently, the only game on CBS at that time is the three-win Raiders at Denver. With new cross-flexing rules in place this year, the Panthers and Falcons could head over to CBS for a late-afternoon kickoff.

Ok, that's what I was unsure of.

It would be a solid 1:00 P.M. national game, there's no doubt about that.

 

The fact that it's a winner-take-all game, makes it more of a spectacle.

They went with the game with the most famous team in it, as expected. Doesn't mean more people "CARE" about it.

Look on the bright side, don't have to see that piece of poo Costas now.
