I am not trying to spam.  I just think this should be its own topic, for easy reference later, rather than being buried six pages deep in a discussion.
 
These are confirmed via SiX, and I have done nothing other than copy-paste directly from his post in the other thread.
 
 
CBS  
Week 11: NYJ-NE  
Week 12: None  
Week 13: TEN-IND  
Week 14: SD-DAL  
Week 15: CIN-SD  
Week 16: BAL-PIT  
 
FOX  
Week 11: WSH-DAL  
Week 12: CHI-MIN  
Week 13: DAL-NYG  
Week 14: GB-CHI  
Week 15: GB-PIT  
Week 16: None

I'm surprised CBS didn't protect Jets-Colts in week 16. NBC has to be thrilled.  I was also a bit surprised FOX protected a Redskins game but then saw that Eagles-Bears was on SNF.

A waste of a protect if you ask me. No way on earth should NBC want anything more to do with the currently 0-5 (soon to be 0-6 or worse) Titans.

The way the Titans are playing, NBC should not use them for any flex games this year. And of course they aired an Indy rout of Tennessee just four days ago.

According to Wikipedia (the Miami Herald link is broken), "Only three teams may make as many as six prime-time appearances (Sunday night, Monday night, and Thursday night combined)."
 
Any idea who those 3 teams might be?

I disagree with both thoughts there. The first BAL/PIT matchup on NBC should have no effect on a potential second a month later.
 
Also, all three of those matchups have equal potential as blockbusters.

According to the link, only THREE teams will be allowed SIX primetime games. I was wondering if those teams aren't determined until each week's Flex game is chosen, starting in Week 11? So if a team get's "Flexed Out", they will drop a Primetime game. Here's the current breakdown, without Flexing:
 
Team      
Indianapolis Colts 5
Chicago Bears 5
Dallas Cowboys 5
New York Giants 5
Pittsburgh Steelers 5
New England Patriots 4
Philadelphia Eagles 4
San Diego Chargers 4
Tennessee Titans 4
Miami Dolphins 4
Arizona Cardinals 3
Baltimore Ravens 3
Minnesota Vikings 3
Carolina Panthers 3
Denver Broncos 3
Green Bay Packers 3
New Orleans Saints 3
Washington Redskins 3
New York Jets 2
Atlanta Falcons 2
Buffalo Bills 2
Cleveland Browns 2
San Francisco 49ers 2
Houston Texans 1
Jacksonville Jaguars 1
Oakland Raiders 1
Cincinnati Bengals 0
Detroit Lions 0
Kansas City Chiefs 0
Seattle Seahawks 0
St. Louis Rams 0
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0

Thank you for clarifying.

And if a given team has 6 games under the lights, one of them must be a NFLN game, IIRC.

A lot of people watch football that don't know the difference between a good matchup and a bad one.  As usual, I hate to invoke the casual fan argument here, but a 14-0 Patriots team has more sex appeal than most other teams and has the added bonus that you can flex away from them to a better game if the situation warrants.  That week in question, CBS didn't have much to work with either.  The next 2 best games on their schedule were Browns/Bengals and Colts/Texans, so there wasn't that much else really worth showing to a large audience.

Week 13 has NE at Mia and a Fox Doubleheader.
The CBS games are
Ten at Ind
Hou at Jax
Den at KC
Oak at Pit
SD at Cle
 
So CBS didn't have much of a choice that weekend.
 
With FOX protecting Dall/NYG that leaves PHI at ATL as the most likely choice with also MIN at ARZ or NO at Wsh as also game that can be flexed.

agreed.  I would much rather watch a battle between two contending teams than watch an undefeated team blow out a bad opponent. That Patriots-Bills Sunday Night dud comes to mind.  

FOX must have some confidence in the Skins and Cowboys.  I know NBC usually loves to snag the Cowboys, but I can't imagine them dropping a strong (teams and markets) Eagles/Bears matchup for Skins/Cowboys given the state of the Skins and Cowboys now.  What's even weirder is that WAS/DAL has to be a 1 pm game that week and FOX has much bigger matchups available in that slot with ATL/NYG and to a lesser extent SF/GB.  That WAS/DAL game will probably have its lowest geographic coverage since (I'm guessing) 2004.
 
It seemed unlikely before the season, but I think there is a strong likelihood that NBC dumps the Cowboys/Skins matchup Week 16.  DEN/PHI looks like a potentially excellent matchup that NBC can snag.
