What week do they start flexing games? What game or games are mostly likely to be flexed if any? Chargers game? Ravens? Just curious what everyone thinks. I am getting tickets for me and my wife for her birthday. Would love it to be a night game ?

Depending on records I would guess it could be Chargers week 13, Ravens week 16 or Chiefs week 17.

The Chargers game on December 5th is gonna get flexed into prime time. The Chargers have a cakey schedule between now and then and you could reasonably expect them to be 8-3. The Bengals also look better than everyone else they play between now and then and 8-3 wouldn’t surprise me there either.
The league would be smart to move that matchup (with the added Burrow vs. Herbert narrative) to prime time in favor of the 49ers/Seahawks who could easily both be out of the playoff race at that point.
Like others have said…I’d rather keep it at 1:00 though…

This is NOT the old Bengals. They live for the big stage. Flex every game to Primetime

NFL Network yesterday referred multiple times to the Bengals/Ravens being the "matchup of the day", both during and after the game. Considering the crappy SNF game last night, I'm betting some network people were wishing the Bengals/Ravens weren't relegated to a day game, and only for a small pocket of the country to even watch. If the Bengals keep winning, I could see a couple of them being flexed in to night games. There are a few solid SNF matchups the rest of the year, but several I wouldn't think would be a big deal to flex out.
