It's not uncommon for one or two major games a year to be played on Sundays, especially at the beginning of the season when the NFL hasn't really started up yet. I remember a Purdue game last year, and I thought there was at least one other one.

The NFL this season will implement for the first time in its history a primetime "flexible scheduling" element on Sundays in Weeks 10-15 and in Week 17. \n\nFlexible scheduling will ensure quality matchups on Sunday night in those weeks and give surprise teams a chance to play their way onto primetime. \n\nThe 2006 NFL schedule will list start times for all Sunday games during the "flex" weeks as 1:00 p.m. ET, except for games played in the Mountain or Pacific Time zones, which will be listed at 4:05 p.m. ET or 4:15 p.m. ET. \n\nThe NBC Sunday night time slot for "flex" weeks will list teams as "TBD." \n\nOnly Sunday afternoon games are eligible to be moved. Flexible scheduling will not be applied to games airing on Thursday, Saturday or Monday nights. \n\nJust as the six major college football conferences have done for many years, the NFL now will have additional flexibility to move the start times of games on Sundays, using a 12-day notice format. \n\nFor example, a game scheduled for Sunday, November 26 could move from a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff to an 8:15 p.m. start, but the change would be made and announced no later than Tuesday, November 14. \n\nThe NFL has commonly moved games between 1:00 p.m. ET and 4:15 p.m. ET (eight times last season) on Sunday afternoons. The new practice allows the NFL to employ flexible scheduling to include one of its primetime package of games – on Sunday evenings. \n\nSunday afternoon games, as in the past, can still be moved between 1:00 and 4:05 or 4:15 p.m. ET. \n\nIn Week 17, in order to ensure a Sunday night game with playoff implications, the decision to move the start time may be made on six days notice. \n\nCBS and FOX will each be able to protect a total of five games in the seven weeks of flexible scheduling, but not more than one game in any week. \n\nDuring the 2005 regular season, the NFL conducted a study with mock flexible scheduling. An eight-person task force consisting of team executives, one from each division, was consulted on a weekly basis. In addition, television network partners and the NFL's broadcasting department participated weekly in the process. \n\n\nNFL Flexible Scheduling 101:\n\nBegins Sunday, November 12, 2006 (Week 10) \n\nIn effect Weeks 10-15 and Week 17. \n\nNot in effect Week 16 due to holiday weekend. \n\nOnly Sunday afternoon games in Weeks 10-15 and 17 are subject to being moved into the Sunday night window. \n\nThe majority of games on Sundays will be listed at 1:00 p.m. ET during flex weeks except for games played in Pacific or Mountain Time zones which will be listed at 4:05 or 4:15 p.m. ET. \n\nNo impact on Thursday, Saturday or Monday night games. \n\nThe NFL will decide (after consultation with CBS, FOX, NBC) and announce on 12 days notice the game being moved to 8:15 p.m. ET and may also announce games moving to 4:15 p.m. ET. \nWeek 17 start time changes could be decided on 6 days notice to ensure a game with playoff implications. \n\nThe NBC Sunday night time slot in "flex" weeks will list teams as "TBD." \n\nFans and ticket holders must be aware that NFL games in flex weeks are subject to change 12 days in advance (6 days in Week 17) and should plan accordingly. \n\nNFL schedules all games. \n\nCBS and FOX each get to protect a total of 5 games in the 7 weeks of flexible scheduling, but not more than one game in any week. \n\nTeams will be informed as soon as they are no longer under consideration or eligible for a move to Sunday night.

I wouldn't trust the following all the way, but it was on the NCAA website.  If I find anything better, I'll let you know.\n\nhttp://web1.ncaa.org/d1mfb/2006/Internet/toughest%20schedule/ia_9games_cumm.pdf\n\nAlso, note that the strength of schedule was good until November 18th, so that was right before this week's games.  I hope this helps!

Your right on with all your picks today. Tiki has been loosing all his TDs to Jacobs and Frank Gore, he plays for SanFran. The two jones will light it up today. Also your thoughts on LJ and Crumpler are right on. Alge is the better TE but you have a way better match up with LJ.\n\nGood Luck
