Yeah, don’t be surprised if the Sunday 12/29 Cowboys/Eagles game flips time slots with Packers/Vikings (currently scheduled for 1 PM ET). It appears due to some new NFL TV rules related to divisional games and “home” networks for AFC and NFC teams (Fox in the NFC’s case) that neither game (or more specifically, Packers/Vikings) can be moved from Sunday afternoon on the 29th. (The first 2024 game in both pairs of matchups was televised on CBS.)
Jokes on them, I prefer the 1pm games.
I understand why the NFL wouldn’t want to do it but I was kinda hoping that the Vikings-Lions game in week 18 would be played before the Eagles-Giants
There is a chance that the result of that game will decide if the Eagles are locked into their seeding or they can move up which will affect if they team can rest some stars
I love 1pm games and absolutely hate 8pm games fine with me
I’m going to both of those so give me early games!
Surprised the commies game isn’t prime time
I live in the UK so this beats staying up till 1am.
Fuck I hope they don’t change the cowboys game to 1pm. I’ll be traveling in from out of town and with a very likely chance of snow storm, gotta get up even earlier and less time tailgating!
Flexing earlier is what it is, but changing days is such a fuck you to the fans.
As a UK fan, please make this happen. All the late games are killing my Mondays
Think of us Schmucks that work till 5 on Sundays. Don’t flex to 1 P.M. for the weekend off normies!
