There are 2 Matches that we play in Week 15 and 16. Both at the Link( I will never call it Lumen Field.)

Week 15: vs Green Bay.
Week 16: Vs Minnisota.

SNF/MNF:

Week 15: Bears at Vikings/Falcons at Raiders
Week 16: Bucs at Cowboys/Saints at Packers

What are the Chances we get an Extra Primetime game at home?

I thought you were already the SNF game in Week 15.
I don't think the Cowboys or the Packers will be moved out of Prime tv slots in Week 16. If a change is made it's more likely PHI @ WAS that gets the slot, (other factors notwithstanding).

I dunno. That Cowboys game might be a complete snoozefest.

For sure, but tv companies don't care what they broadcast. They care about how many people will see the adverts on their broadcast, and the Cowboys audience is pretty large.

Not if they are out of it. Meaningful games will get more draw than big market teams late in the season.

About 7 or 8 seasons ago the Cowboys had a Prime time game against the Steelers. Both teams were effectively out of contention with 6-7 type records. SNF had the opportunity to flex the game. They chose to keep with the game despite the lack of playoff implications. Both teams draw an audience. I'd be fine with having the game that had playoff implications, but i'm not a tv executive.

There may not have been a compelling alternative.

If you're interested there's 1 guy who has been looking at this stuff for 12+ years. His name is Morgan Wick and his site is: morganwick.com/category/sports/football/nfl/snf-flex-scheduling-watch/ . His analysis for 2024 will be there. The Cowboys - Steelers game from years back will be somewhere in his archives.

You must be thinking of a different game - cause the Cowboys - Steelers haven't played a prime time game against each other since Super Bowl XXX.

Yeah, the networks aren't flexing out the Cowboys. That team draws eyeballs.

Seahawks are not going to be the MNF game week 16 because they play Chicago on Thursday Night in week 17.

True. I think the best chance is SNF on week 15
