The current game is Patriots-Packers. The game won't get taken out.
Here's an article that ranks teams by their 'media exposure' and considers national TV rank, local TV rank, national appearance rank, social media rank, and website rank. [

1. Dallas
2. Green Bay
3. New England
4. Denver
5. Philadelphia
6. Pittsburgh
7. Seattle
8. Carolina
9. NY Giants
10. Detroit
That's what drives scheduling - the question is always "how many viewers can we attract" not "what is the best game". Packers ore second on that list, Patriots are 3rd, Rams and Saints are ... ummm ... on a different list lol
Based on that list, the Rams won’t get flexed to SNF. Minny Pats or Pitt Chargers would go over Det Rams in week 13. And Eagles Dallas or Balt KC would go over Chi Rams in week 14.
Those are the only 2 flex possibilities.
I think the Rams will have to be 11-0 to have a chance to get flexed.
