The NFL gets flexible

For the first time this season, the NFL is making their schedule flexible and choosing the Sunday night games a few weeks before they are actually played to ensure better games. This week will the first game on the flex schedule, as the NFL chose the Bears-Giants game to be the Sunday night game. They have already chosen next week’s game to be the Broncos-Chargers games. Both of these games look very good on paper, but that does not necessarily ensure that all the games will look so good. Bill Syken on CNNSI has broken the season down and made some predictions for what games will be chosen the rest of the season. I agree with some of his choices but not all of them. Hopefully no matter what game NBC chooses, the game will be competitive and not as boring as this past week’s Monday night game.
