I guess it could be, but I've not seen anything to suggest that it is, nor any obvious reason why they wouldn't have shown it at 1.30 if it was a package C game - it's not a big audience-drawing fixtures that would have benefitted hugely from being shown at 4pm... Also, package C has the same 5 holes to be filled as package D.
Another of those possibilities with the new packs that we won't know enough to be able to confirm or better guess until later in the year (e.g. if there are three more West Ham games in that slot...)
I'm still leaning toward it being a 4D pick as there are ten that need to be filled and this is the sort of game I would have positioned for that pick (it's probably only the fourth or fifth highest profile game of the weekend and fills Southampton quota early), even if it is WHU's third package D game...
