No love for the bay. They already flexed out a 49ers game, and they are tripling up in that region.

Week 13 - Chargers/Steelers replaces 49ers/Seahawks
Week 14 - Bears/Rams replaces Steelers/Raiders

They picked better matchups that involve playoff teams. No problem with that.

That's why SNF is better than MNF. They can flex it out so people actually watch it. 49ers/Seahawks and Steelers/Raiders are absolute dog shite games.

Liking the Bears/Rams switch to a night game. Hopefully the wind chill will be in the teens.

I'm sure the books are glad to get the Raiders out of primetime to limit their liability.

Haven't watched one snap of Raider football this year...I hear they are bad. Prolly smart.

Which makes that fact that ESPN pays about twice as much per year than NBC does crazy. 1.75 billion vs 950 million.

And ESPN doesn't even get the Super Bowl every three years.

At least it wasn't for more NFC East garbage.

He was out of the coaching game for 10 plus years and walked into a 100 million contract.

Wanna know why?

MNF Week 13: Redskins at Eagles
AMERICA'S GAME OF THE WEEK Week 14: Eagles at Cowboys

NBC didn't flex the NFC East because somebody already beat them to the NFC East.

ESPN’s subscriber fees are absurd. And to justify what they charge cable providers, they absolutely have to have broadcast rights for primetime games that will draw viewers. NBC can survive as a network without live sports in their broadcast lineup. ESPN can’t. NFL knows this so they bent ESPN over the barrel
