    Reports are that NBC asked to flex out of Steelers vs Jets to Washington vs Ravens, but CBS protected the game and didn't allow it. Personally, I wish they'd been successful. I hate having to wait and stay up to watch on Sunday night.

    Yeah, I'm an idiot. Nevermind

    Can I still bet on the Ravens vs Commanders though? I might have a chance of getting it right

    I know the Commanders/Bears game has been flexed to a later time, although I think it’s only to 4:30

    i thought they did not allow changes in the Sunday night flex schedule until much later in the season, but that may have changed.....

    I feel like I am stuck in a groundhog day life. Every single day of my life for as long as I can remember, I wait all day for night to come. Over and over. :(

    They flexed the Bungles Vs Iggles game from 4:30 to 1 pm on the 27th. I wish they would flex all of our night games. Despite our successful record I still hate waiting all day for Sunday Nights. Hopefully this game starts before 9:30 pm.

    They can flex Sunday night games starting on week 5 now, but only 2 times between weeks 5 and 11.

    Monday Night can only be flexed between weeks 12-17

    Thursday nights can be flexed between weeks 13-17, but only twice

    Sunday afternoon games can be flexed between starting times at any point in the season.

    London games can be flexed to Germany, but not until after Octoberfest.

    You must also be one of those people who wait for your phone to ring before you answer it. :rolleyes:

    But seriously, isn't it also so weird how you always find things in the last place you look? ;)

    For Sunday Night Football, it may be used up to twice between Weeks 5-10, and at the NFL's discretion during Weeks 11-17

    The Jets are the Jets, the Steelers even with our name have left a lot to be desired for action on the field. Though it was not those mentioned teams, when was the last time you ca think of that the Bears and Commanders would get more interest? lol,

    I keep finding my keys in strange places.
    And I think I've found that I am feeding the neighbor's cat.

    Maybe they heard that Trump and A B. were planning on attending the Sunday night game. :)
