It comes on January 1 this year and the NFL schedule doesn't list a week 17 8:30 start for any games.....I'd bet yes on it being flexed out. The only people who want to watch Colts games are fans of the opposing team.
Speaking of flexing, the week 17 game against the Bills may be a candidate. Perhaps...
etc.

NFL Schedule: Regular Season
NFL retains the right to flex a SUn afternoon game into Sun night if there are playoff implications involved.
"The schedule does not list a Sunday night game in Week 17, but an afternoon game with playoff implications will be moved to that time slot to conclude the season."
It took a while for me to find the flex rules when I was wondering about the rules when I first read this thread. Google doesn't seem to work (you have to go to NFL.com schedule page and then click on a small headernote 'flex schedule procedures'. )
Flexed out, if anything. Two and possibly three of those other games will have a lot more national interest, unless it's Peyton's first game back or something.
it will absolutely be flexed but on the bright side it's hard to see how NBC will pass up on Patriots/Eagles. they got Steelers/Chiefs lined up for that week.
I thought that Payton was put on IR...
After last night, I can see NBC trying to get the NFL to give them the ability to flex games earlier in the season.
