Prime time prediction thread

[Sect309Fan]

I have three questions, so let's see who gets the closest before the schedule is revealed tomorrow.

Question #1: Which playoff team from last year will have the fewest prime time appearances in 2009 (Thanksgiving day games don't count, but the night game does)? In 2008, it was the Titans.

Question #2: Which non-playoff team from last year will have the most prime time appearances in 2009? In 2008, it was Cleveland.

Question #3: How many prime-time appearances will the Titans have in 2009? (Bonus points for prediciting by network (NBC, ESPN, NFL)).

Q1. Miami dull-fins
Q2. The Pats/cow patties for the tie?
Q3. 3 prime time games. 1 espn, 2 NBC (nfl network doesnt count for me since i have time warner cable :P)

1) Ravens per their request not to play the steelers on prime time anymore LOL
2) Cowboys
3) Titans will have 3 primetime games with the possibility of a flex at the end of the season. (2 NBC) (1 MNF/ESPN)

1. Miami
2. Cowboys (they almost always max out)
3. 4 (opening night NBC, NFL network, 1MNF, and a flex)

#2 - Dallas

ALmost completely agree. Minn. gets the short end of the stick almost every year. Also, I think we will only get one Monday, but I agree that the game against NE is likely to be prime time (and what a great battle will erupt in this house!).

Ok, here are my predicitions.

1. Carolina. I think it will be between Atlanta, Minnesota, and Carolina, so this is my best guess.

2. Dallas. I think New England will tie them, but Dallas is the safer bet of the two.

3. two on NBC (one at home), two on ESPN, zero on NFL network. (4 total)

[Sect309Fan]

And the answers were:

1. Atlanta with 2 games (no one got it right)

2. Dallas and Chicago with 5 games each (everyone picked Dallas)

3. 4 games (2 NBC, 1 ESPN, 1 NFL Network) - no one picked it perfectly, but several of us picked 4.

at least i got #3 right.... 2 nbc, 1 espn and NFL network still doesnt count for me :P

And after looking at the Schedule I really don't see any flex worthy games at the end of the season.

And after looking at the Schedule I really don't see any flex worthy games at the end of the season.

The big problem is that there really aren't any games that likely would be removed from the Sunday night slate in that flex period. The only one that is at least questionable is Minnesota at Carolina, and the Titans do have a potentially good game with the Dolphins coming to Nashville that Sunday.
