NFL possibly moving Eagles/Giants game to earlier time?


Fox Sports would love to make the Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers game Nov.1 the late national game on its doubleheader Sunday, but there is an obstacle to putting it there. The game is set to start at noon, part of Fox's regional package in the early window. The late game most of the country is scheduled to get is the New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles, set for 3:15 p.m. The network would love to take full advantage of viewers' interest in watching Brett Favre play his first game at Lambeau Field since he was traded by the Packers more than a season ago. The network would love to take advantage of national interest in the Favre vs. Packers story, just as ESPN did on the "Monday Night Football" telecast, which set a record as the most-watched show in the history of cable TV with 21.8 million viewers

What do you guys think? Do you think they would move our game to a earlier time so they can bank off of this Favre/Green Bay drama?

I didn't think they could do this....

I didn’t think the NFL could apply flexible scheduling until the last 7 weeks of the season. This was put in the contracts to give both the NFL and the broadcasting networks some “give” as to which games to show. Like if a game had major playoff implications in December, it is possible that game may take the time slot of a meaningless game that was already scheduled. But the rules are complicated, so I’m not sure. This was just my understanding of it.
