The NFL game is being moved to make room for 60 Minutes.  This
particular case will probably resolve itself when 60 Minutes gets a
non-generic programid in a mythfilldatabase update later.  It would
also resolve itself immediately if you used common callsigns for
channels on both sources as is recommended.  The way you have it now,
MythTV will try to record any generic programs from both sources.

Thanks you.  That is always helpful in cases like this.

It's currently only in the source code.  Perhaps someone would like to
add a page to the wiki.
