We have to hope they bump the Colts @ Patriots game in week 13 for Atlanta @ Houston. It would be a small miracle if they did that, though. New England might riot.
They have to bump any and all Colts flex schedule games now. This is too ugly. I think the only question is whether Atlanta-Houston gets the nod to replace it.
If it had to be decided today, I think Detroit vs New Orleans and Green Bay vs NY Giants would be the leading candidates, but a lot can change between now and then. How far in advance do they have to change them?
Flexible Scheduling Implemented in 2006, flexible scheduling allows teams to play their way onto the Sunday night schedule The season again will utilize "flexible scheduling" in Weeks 10-15 and 17. In Weeks 10-15, the schedule lists the games tentatively set for Sunday Night Football on NBC. Only Sunday afternoon games are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, in which case the tentatively scheduled Sunday night game would be moved to an afternoon start time. Flexible scheduling will not be applied to games airing on Thursday, Saturday or Monday nights. A flexible scheduling move would be announced at least 12 days before the game. For Week 17, the change will be announced no later than six days before the game. The schedule does not list a Sunday night game in Week 17, but an afternoon game with playoff implications will be moved to that time slot to conclude the season. The Christmas night game between the Bears and Packers in Week 16 will not be flexed. Flexible scheduling will ensure quality matchups in all Sunday time slots in those weeks and give "surprise" teams a chance to play their way into primetime. NFL Flexible Scheduling 101 Begins Sunday of Week 11 In effect during Weeks 11-17 Only Sunday afternoon games are subject to being moved into the Sunday night window. The game that has been tentatively scheduled for Sunday night during flex weeks will be listed at 8:15 p.m. ET. The 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. No impact on Thursday, Saturday or Monday night games. The NFL will decide (after consultation with CBS, FOX, NBC) and announce as early as possible the game being played at 8:15 p.m. ET. The announcement will come no later than 12 days prior to the game. The NFL may also announce games moving to 4:05 p.m. ET and 4:15 p.m. ET. Week 17 start time changes could be decided on 6 days notice to ensure a game with playoff implications. The NBC Sunday night time slot in "flex" weeks will list the game that has been tentatively scheduled for Sunday night. Fans 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. NFL schedules all games. Teams will be informed as soon as they are no longer under consideration or eligible for a move to Sunday night.
Week 13 games: Thurs: Philadelphia @ Seattle Sun: NY Jets @ Washington Atlanta @ Houston Kansas City @ Chicago Baltimore @ Cleveland Tennessee @ Buffalo Cincinnati @ Pittsburgh Detroit @ New Orleans Carolina @ Tampa Bay Oakland @ Miami Denver @ Minnesota Green Bay @ New York Giants Dallas @ Arizona St. Louis @ San Francisco SNF: Indianapolis @ New England MNF: San Diego @ Jacksonville Looking at it right now, I'd say the games most likely to be moved into that SNF spot(if IND-NE is moved out) is: Atlanta @ Houston Detroit @ New Orleans Green Bay @ New York Giants Cincinnati @ Pittsburgh Green Bay @ New York Giants is my guess.
Games likely to get bumped: Week 12 - PIT @ KC... likely replacements... BUF @ NYJ... NE @ PHI Week 13 - IND @ NE... likely replacements... ATL @ HOU... DET @ NO... GB @ NYG Week 17 currently has no Sunday night game scheduled... we could be playing the Titans for the division title... so there's hope there too... but there's also SD @ OAK... DET @ GB... BUF @ NE...
FOX and CBS can protect certain games during the Flex Schedule. CBS has protected Jets at Redskins, while FOX has protected Packers at Giants. The only other games I can see being Flexed in is Cincy at Pittsburgh, but not sure if Pittsburgh has made it on to three SNF appearances this season or not.

I like Robison since he's a Houston boy, but he's picking up some dirty habits from Jared Allen. <object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aKcysTybCJs?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aKcysTybCJs?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
