The funny thing about Roger Goodell‘s push to give Amazon Prime Video flexible scheduling for Weeks 14-17 is it seems barely worth the fight.

There has been a lot written about the topic, but one big factor has been left out. Even if the proposal passes at the next NFL owners’ meeting, Thursday Night Football flexible scheduling would not be that flexible.

Here’s why: The line forms at the back. Before a TNF flex would come up in the final four weeks, CBS and Fox get to protect one game a week in their Sunday afternoon slates, while NBC on Sunday night and, beginning this fall, ESPN on Monday night get to flex.

So for the final weeks of the season, Amazon would, in theory, be able to upgrade to the fifth-best game of the week. There are only 16 games a week.
