The Facts:
The NFL has its plan for eliminating those not-ready-for-primetime matchups that too often sneaked onto national television. The league plans to hold off scheduling Sunday night games in seven of the final eight weeks -- just as playoff races start heating up -- to ensure the best games are played on NBC. The league has long wanted some kind of flexible scheduling, but could never implement one until now.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Only Sunday games are subject to the flexible schedule. For Weeks 10-15 and Week 17, the final regular-season weekend, all Sunday games will be listed with start times of 1 p.m. or 4:05-4:15 p.m. EST. The league must then announce which match will be played Sunday night at least 12 days before the date of the game.
