The two afore-mentioned games will remain on Fox and CBS as originally scheduled.
Packers games in Weeks 12, 14, 15 and 16 are still eligible to be flexed into primetime broadcasts Sunday evenings on NBC.

Anybody see that we opened as 2 point dogs in NO? I was a little surprised, I figured maybe a pick-em. I know they're a different team at home, but we're just playing better football right now.

1 TO 1 1/2 Not Good in my opinion. Hope I'm Wrong. LVT

Not a betting man myself but isn't being the "Home Team" worth 3 points to the spread? LVT is that true?

That's usually the case (I've heard cappers have given Seattle as many as 5 pts for HF).
That's what's so surprising. They're basically saying that on a neutral field... they would only have us favored by 1 point. I don't get it.

When the spot seems odd, bet against your odd feeling. A wise tip. It's the only time I bet. when I think the spot is wrong I bet against my thinking.

That's why bookies go to Hawaii and gamblers stay home.

So I'm assuming the fox game would be the america's game of the week slot, but what slot would be the New England game? 3 ct time as well?

Week 11 Sun. Nt. game is NE @ Indy which I don't see being flexed out. I hope they move either the Packer or Bears game to 3:25, so the Chicago Fox station can show both.
