I could see CIN @ TEN being flexed as two top teams in the AFC (no idea who else could be slated) or BAL @ CIN being a AFCN crown game.

BAL's not being flexed. There is no SNF in Week 18.

For the record, I already looked at the schedule. I didn't just pick TEN and CLE out of the sky. As far as I can tell, they are the only two possibilities- and not even that "possible".

BAL in Week 18 = no SNF.
BUF in Week 17 = already prime-time.
NE in Week 16 = Christmas Eve day. No flexing there.
TB in Week 15 = Bucs already have their five.
CLE in Week 14 = "possible".
KC in Week 13 = Chiefs now have their five.
TEN in Week 12 = "possible".

That's it. Unless TB or KC get flexed out between now and two weeks before our games with them, the only even theoretical possibilities are TEN and CLE. It's not like last year where there were a few options (I remember SF, LAC and KC looking tasty down the stretch). Yet none of those materialized.

So it's not happening. Don't worry about it. We'll get our prime-time games in the playoffs.
