Packers/Lions for NFC North title, depending on what happens next week, could be all or nothing for one of the teams.

NFL Flexible Scheduling 

NFL Flexible Scheduling 101

Begins Sunday of Week 5
In effect during Weeks 5-17
Up to 2 games may be flexed into Sunday Night between Weeks 5-10
Only Sunday afternoon games are subject to being moved into the Sunday night window.
The game that has been tentatively scheduled for Sunday night during flex weeks will be listed at 8:15 p.m. ET.
The majority of games on Sundays will be listed at 1:00 p.m. ET during flex weeks except for games played in Pacific or Mountain Time zones which will be listed at 4:05 or 4:15 p.m. ET.
No impact on Thursday, Saturday or Monday night games.
The NFL will decide (after consultation with CBS, FOX, NBC) and announce as early as possible the game being played at 8:15 p.m. ET. The announcement will come no later than 12 days prior to the game. The NFL may also announce games moving to 4:05 p.m. ET and 4:15 p.m. ET.
Week 17 start time changes could be decided on 6 days notice to ensure a game with playoff implications.
The NBC Sunday night time slot in "flex" weeks will list the game that has been tentatively scheduled for Sunday night.
Fans and ticket holders must be aware that NFL games in flex weeks are subject to change 12 days in advance (6 days in Week 17) and should plan accordingly.
NFL schedules all games.
Teams will be informed as soon as they are no longer under consideration or eligible for a move to Sunday night.

I am chosen by many but taken by no one.

I sure as hell hope it get's flexed or I'm going to end up listening on the radio.
It would suck to miss that game!

Two other games are up for consideration... Carolina at Atlanta could be for NFCS Title.

Cincy at Pittsburgh could be for division and other team might be out. Pittsburgh is a HUGE national draw.

What may happen is Packers Lions get moved to the late game instead of flexing. I think moving them to SNF makes the most sense, but you never know.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

It'll depend on whether or not the loser of the game gets eliminated from playoff contention entirely.

NFL has not officially flexed it yet. NFL.com still has it as a 1 pm EST start.

Exactly. That's what the 6 day rule Gilligan posted is for.

It'd be rather annoying to miss yet another game, though, because it's on at 2:30 am again. I should become a Browns fan or something. They don't have these luxury problems.
