Will they be able to pay anyone to get a full team on the field? [Reply]
I understand the NFL would want to present a competitive game, so I'm more than OK not playing on Sunday night. In fact, I'm so OK with the idea of not playing in the dark, I'm cool with not playing on Thursdays, either. Perhaps even Monday night as well. [Reply]

Pretty sure they try to schedule all relevant games for the same time so that no team has an advantage (i.e., you don’t have to play your starters if you see a team in an earlier time slot lost). [Reply]
I'm most worried about playing the Broncos I know they are no good but they are a desperate team and desperate teams do drastic things and I'm worried about cheap shot because this is their Super Bowl to beat us. I wouldn't take them lightly no matter how bad they are.
I hope we are flexed out of Prime Time but I'd still love to watch us dismantle the Donks on National TV. I hope we blow them out by half time and sit Patrick the second half. [Reply]

Weird to think about, because Mahomes and Kansas City are ratings gold. But Mahomes flogging the incompetent Broncos—just when you think Denver can’t play worse on offense, this shockingly bad team always does—would not be ratings gold. Denver has done nothing to show it can play competitively with Kansas City.
Having Mahomes on in prime time is great, but not if the game’s a slaughter in the middle of the second quarter. Three other candidates for the league to consider: Dolphins-Chargers, Eagles-Giants, Bucs-Niners. Tampa Bay-San Francisco has been protected by FOX, which would have to lift that (and maybe it would if it could get a Mahomes game cross-flexed in exchange). Taking the Philly game away would leave FOX very light in the early Sunday window, with only two games there. The Giants will be on a major slide if they lose to Washington this week anyway. I’d flex into the Tua-Herbert show. Miami’s been underexposed, and America should get to know an exciting team it could be seeing a lot of come the postseason. Roger Goodell will make the call by late tonight, to be announced Tuesday, if there’s a flex.

Under the new TV deal ESPN/ABC gets to "flex" 2 week 18 games to Saturday. (this happened to the Chiefs last year). The announcement probably would not be made until near the conclusion of the SNF game on New Year's night.
If KC plays on 1/7, I want to play the later game. KU Basketball game is @ 5:00 that day. [Reply]
