NBC, CBS fighting over Tim Tebow vs. Tom Brady
Tim Tebow and the Broncos may be headed to prime time again, but not if CBS gets its way.

The NFL and NBC want to switch the Broncos' Dec. 18 game vs. New England at Denver to its Sunday Night Football broadcast at 6:20 p.m. Kickoff currently is scheduled for 2:15 p.m., but NBC wants to show the game in favor of a Baltimore-San Diego matchup that had previously been scheduled that night.

NBC's contract with the NFL gives the partners a "flex" schedule to switch to a more compelling game than the one originally scheduled for prime time.

CBS, which has the game in its afternoon slot, has been fighting the move, as has Patriots owner Robert Kraft​....

As much as I despise certain aspects of SNF on NBC, I hope that happens.

4. This would be good for me
I work at a NBC station. Selling this time period will be gold for us. Lots of Gator fans here rooting for Teblow

6. Keep it during the day.
I can't help but feel this is a "reality check" game for Denver. Chargers/Ravens will have sufficient buzz (Ravens fighting for a #1 seed vs. a talented but desperate Chargers team) to get viewers at night.
