Ok...what am I missing here....don't both games have to be at the same time, so neither Dallas or Philly have an advantage of sitting back and waiting for an outcome???
 
I don't think either team will get the night game. Green Bay/Detroit and Tennessee/Jaguars both may have significant "win and in" appeal. It's possible the Giants and Commanders will have nothing to play for.
 
Anything scenario involving multiple games/teams - they will try to schedule them at the same time. SNF will probably be Jacksonville/Tennessee because it's the easiest "Win and You're In" game

Either them or Detroit/GB.....if GB wins today

I don't think they will "try" hard to give us ANY advantage whatsoever...it would be the first time in a long time.
 
It’ll be the 4pm game

The late game will be Detroit / Green Bay if Green Bay wins today. It’ll draw more ratings than Jacksonville Tennessee

No way. They will go for ratings

I could see us at SNF and than play Tampa Saturday the next week just for fun

Raven at Bengals will be Sunday night. Cowboys/Washington Giants/Eagles 4:25 Sunday. Saturday night will be Tennessee/Jacksonville.

SNF will be Packers vs Lions if Gteen Bay finishes today.

Or Cincy vs Baltimore.
 
They can flex the game if they choose but if GB wins today, Washington is out. That would make the Packers-Lions game arguably the most important game in the NFC. The winner of that game will determine the 7th seed. It could be GB or Seattle's last 2 games. If Seattle and Detroit tie at 9-8 then Seattle is the 7th seed. If GB and Seattle tie a 9-8 then GB is the 7th seed.

In the meantime the Cowboys and Eagle would both want to win. But they could be facing teams with nothing to play for. My bet is they play both of those games at 1:00 Eastern as scheduled and probably flex the Packers-Lions game to the Sunday night game.

The flexed schedule will be out tonight.
 
There is no rule but I believe the league will make any adjustment needed to ensure the highest amount of interest errr I mean ratings. They will be at the same time or Dallas will go first so that if they win, Philly will have to play to win. Sadly, the Giants may not be playing for a win unless they want to deny a division opponent the #1 seed by beating them. Makes for an intriguing final week. Just what the league wants.
