Sports has, for a few years
now, been the best reason.
Honestly, maybe the only
reason, not to cut the cord.
But nowadays there are a ton of options
out there for cord-cutters
to watch sports.
So, for our purposes today,
I'm assuming you've cut the cord.
So, I'm not gonna direct you
towards any of those apps
that make you log in using
you cable credentials.
Instead, if you wanna watch
NFL football this season,
I'm gonna focus on four primary ways
specific to cord-cutters.
Over-the-air antennas, obviously.
CBS All Access, Amazon
Prime, and NFL Game Pass.
Plus, I'll throw in a few
bonus tidbits as well.
Now each option has
strengths and weaknesses,
but if you stick around,
I promise you will be
armed with a bunch of ways
to get your NFL fix this season.
So, let's dive in.
Now don't forget to subscribe,
and make sure you hit
the description below.
I've got a link down there,
if you're interested in a giveaway.
Everyone's interested in giveaways, right?
We do a lot of those these
days, so hit that description.
Now, let's start with
the most obvious options,
and work our way down from there, so.
If you wanna cut the cord,
the first thing you should do honestly,
even outside of a football discussion,
is get an over-the-air HD antenna.
An O-T-A antenna,
depending on where you live
in relation to the nearest signal towers,
should get you quite a few channels.
Including your local network affiliates,
for ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX.
Now those last two carry
a lot of NFL games,
so they're gonna be important.
In fact, if you haven't yet,
you might consider signing
up for CBS All Access.
That's our second option here.
For six bucks a month
you get a bunch of stuff,
including a lot of NFL games
that you can stream online.
This is your go to place
for AFC games specifically,
and they're airing
about 105 of those games
throughout the season,
and it doesn't stop at
the regular season either.
They're also showing the AFC Playoffs,
including the championship game.
Now the primary broadcast
for NFC games is FOX.
So that antenna that I mentioned before
is gonna come in handy there.
Option number three is Amazon Prime.
This one might be kinda surprising, uh.
Along with FOX, Amazon
Prime has the rights to air
Thursday Night Football.
Now Amazon Prime is one that
a lot of us already have.
And so, you know, you
want that free shipping,
you get the Video as well, right.
So if you have Amazon Prime Video,
you have Thursday Night
Football, built right in.
Now here's a fun fact for you,
you can also get Thursday
Night Football on Twitch.
Which, you know, if your a mega streamer,
maybe you already have that.
I think that's an interesting choice
for where to watch football.
Lastly we have NFL Game Pass.
This is an extremely easy option,
but it does come with one major caveat.
NFL Game Pass will cost you
99 bucks for the whole season,
and you get watch every
single game, after it airs.
Now, it'll either show
up on the app either
later that day, for early Sunday games,
or right after the game is
done if it's another game.
Now, it's gotten some
cool features in there
that you should be aware of
that make it really nice.
They've got Coaches Film,
which gives you two
additional angles per play.
And with the Condensed Version,
you can watch a game in about 45 minutes.
So it's a nice way to work your way
through a lot of games really quickly.
Now, you can also check out the NFL App,
that's another way that you
can get a few tidbits of video.
There's also live TV
streaming standbys like
Sling, YouTube TV, Hulu Live.
Sling TV is a nice one among those
because if you grab the blue package,
or the orange plus blue, and
you get the $10 Sports add-on.
Then you can get NFL Red Zone,
which we've talked about before,
and is chaotic and fun, and pretty cool.
Now, I did not forget about
NFL Sunday Ticket, don't worry.
Usually that's reserved
for Directv subscribers,
or you can stream it as a
standalone if Directv determines
that your not able to get
their service where you live.
Now, the good news is that this year,
college students are able
to get NFL Sunday Ticket
as a standalone service.
Now, this is my, time to put
on my wild speculation hat.
But I'm guessing that means
that NFL Sunday Ticket
as a standalone service for everyone,
is probably in the not too distant future.
So, did I miss your favorite?
Do you have another way
to watch NFL Football
that we missed?
