How Seahawks v Bengals is not on tv baffles me

Yeah, by far the pick of the entire day's games. Who picks these games for Sky and can they not change them as it becomes apparent certain teams are not going to be competing by years end?

In fairness, at least the Eagles v Saints has the feeling of an eliminator about it, though everything I have seen from the Eagles this year has been pretty awful.

The Patriots v Cowboys matchup doesn't do much for me, unless you enjoy seeing someone wail on another team. That said, only -8.5 for the Patriots has to be worth a bet surely?

Picks:
Colts @ Texans ; Luckless Colts?
Bills @ Titans ; Wheels coming off for the Bills?
Bears @ Chiefs ; Chiefs to bounce back with 8 FG's
Browns @ Ravens ; Raven's to build on Steelers win.
Jaguars @ Buccaneers ; Winston reminds me of Byron Leftwich.
Saints @ Eagles ; Eagles to continue to improve (slightly)
Rams @ Packers ; Rogers improvising against that front. Want to see.
Redskins @ Falcons ; Falcons to have it a bit tougher this week.
Seahawks @ Bengals ; Bengals have looked great Seahawks, less so.
Cardinals @ Lions ; Lions have to be done at this stage.
Patriots @ Cowboys ; Patriots by 21- at least.
Broncos@ Raiders ; no longer a gimmie, but fancy Denver here.
49ers @ Giants ; Giants take control of the East.
Steelers @ Chargers ; Vick-led Steelers no match for San Diego.

Surprised they didn't bump the Patriots Cowboys into SNF given how bad the 49ers and Giants have been. Particularly the 49ers I guess but they can only flex 2 games between weeks 5 and 10 and my not want to start this early but its a poor game on paper at least.

Games can't be flexed till later in the season.
