shown on NFL live just now. In a earlier thread, most people didn't want to see the Pats play on Thanksgiving. Also, Saints at Colts is the opening game. For anyone that cares.

Nice!
The last thing I want to do is try and watch the game on thanksgiving at my in-laws. For me, the less prime time games, the better.

Thanskgiviing games are good for the teams involved IMO. They have a short week against another team with a short week then have a long week against a team with a normal week (wouldn't surprise me it that's us).

We want the Dolts to get all the MNF games possible, those are the tough ones when your opponent has a day to a day and a half more than you do.

I think that is overrated (the Monday nighter). The T-day game is only good when you win, and it sucks when you lose.

We'll play the Colts before Thanksgiving. Flex scheduling takes into effect during Week 10. Thanksgiving falls on Week 12. NBC wants Pats-Colts and will likely show it right before flex scheduling takes into effect so CBS can't protect it. The game most likely will be played in early November just like last year.

IIRC, aren't there a handful of games that CAN be protected once FLEX starts??
