Colts Are First NBC Flex Scheduling Casualty

The NFL announced today that the Week 13 Sunday night matchup between the Patriots and Colts has been dropped. The game will be played at 1 pm ET.

I'm stunned NBC doesn't believe the nation is longing for more Curtis Painter.

No replacement game has been announced yet. The Packers-Giants are locked into Fox's national game that day so that won't be touched. My pick is for the Saints-Lions. Fox won't care they're losing that game since they have the Packers-Giants that day and the matchup should feature two exciting offenses with playoff aspirations. Bengals-Steelers could be another option but I'm guessing CBS won't want to part with that game.

I think they figure it is SOMETHING to watch, so people will watch anything. :rolleyes:

My pick is for the Saints-Lions. This is the game NBC has picked to move to Sunday night. Easy call there. Stafford vs. Brees. Two playoff contenders with exciting offenses. Slam-dunk call by NBC.

I'm barely willing to allow Rams-Seahawks since it would be a rematch of last season's Week 17 game which decided the NFC West. So I'm sort of OK with that game being scheduled.

But Chargers-Jags? Sure, the Chargers were expected to be a real good team but why would anyone honestly think the same about Jacksonville? How can a game like that be scheduled? That's pretty awful.
