From a national perspective is Pats @ Seahawks a good game ?
I notice Eagles @ Giants is a 1: PM game. I assume it is not protected. Might be a better ratings getter.
When do they have to give notice of the change ?
Keep in mind that a team can only be on primetime (SNF or MNF) five times a season and no more than that. If Eagles @ Giants is promoted then that will be the 5th primetime game for the Giants, so they won't be able to flex any more Giants games. A better matchup involved with the Giants comes in Week 16, which is Panthers @ Giants and it is currently scheduled for FOX at 1:00. The SNF game scheduled for that week is Chargers @ Bucs, and considering the ratings that the Bucs got in their last SNF game, I bet NBC will want to flex Chargers @ Bucs out. I also doubt that FOX protected Panthers @ Giants, and they well could've protected Eagles @ Giants instead.
Week 11 - SD @ PIT, CH @ GB
Week 12 - NYJ @ TN, NYG @ AZ
Week 13 - PIT @ NE, NYG @ WAS
Week 14 - JAX @ CHI, DAL @ PIT
Week 15 - None
Week 16 - PIT @ TN, PHL @ WAS

They are required to give notice of the change either 2 or 3 weeks in advance. I don't remember which.
Not quite. As many as three teams can have six primetime games, as happened with the Pats last year.
