Pick who you think Fox and CBS will protect. If your team is not that important and isn't playing one of the NFC or AFC powerhouses, chances are NBC has a good shot at getting your game.
For the Saints
I think NBC wants Rodgers-Brees and Brees-Brady will be on NBC as well. I thought about three games but will stay at two. KC will be CBS game of the week because NFL will not want both them and GB at NO on the same network even if Saints got three; SF will be Fox game of the week; one cross-flex game will be CBS. I'm thinking of Chicago, who only plays LAR, NYG, and the NFC South besides their division in the NFC conference (GB will be primetime). For TNF, Fox may want TB/NO for a doubleheader, but TNF games are on Fox except two. For MNF, I expect it to be Minnesota and in Philadelphia. If the Saints get a third NBC, it's going to be Philadelphia or Chicago. Their MNF count is reduced to 1.
