This is now a very important game for the Bills needed it to make the playoffs. It's very disturbing that the NFL has now extended it's broadcasting partners forcing customers to pay for another streaming service. Peacock is also going air an NFL Wildcard game exclusively. Obviously every sportsbook is going to pay the additional money to air both the Saturday Christmas Eve game and Wildcard game. The greed of the league knows no bounds. I have Amazon Prime because not only do I like the faster delivery but I like their original programming. I thought Jack Ryan was tremendous. When they picked up the TNF package I didn't mind. As far as Peacock. I don't care for their original programming. I pay for most of the other streaming services such as Apple TV and Netflix. When it came to Peacock I said that's it. I think they also had an NFL Europe game this past season. The NFL is going to try to get at least 8 games a year exclusively on Peacock eventually to force fans to fork out more dollars. If you live in Buffalo or Los Angeles I think the game goes out over free TV. Can imagine if it didn't. People who live in Buffalo would go crazy. If I were the sportsbooks in the various casinos around the country I wouldn't pay. Maybe if the NFL gets thousands of complaints from bettors and fans who couldn't watch the game they might change their tune going forward. I remember when the books were going to boycott Sunday Ticket. They were being asked to pay outrageous prices from DirectTV. In the old days places like the Stardust had huge satellite dishes and just picked the up feed of the individual cities as the networks bounced the games off the satellites. It was all free until the networks scrambled the feed.

I'm not chasing a single game. If it's not convenient for me to watch, I won't watch

I hope the money grab by people who make far too much money blows up in their faces

One of the Wildcard games on January 13 will be exclusively on Peacock also. If you’re that desperate, just pay the 5.99 for a month and then cancel it.

One day, probably not in my lifetime the Super Bowl will on PPV. Congress has these anti-monopoly provisions so it can't happen but laws can always change. For all those who say never the 1960 NFL championship game was blacked out in Philadelphia. If you don't believe me you can look it up. When the Eagles played the Green Bay Packers. The famous game where Chuck Bednarik was standing over Frank Gifford wasn't seen in the Philadelphia area. The game was played at Franklin Field next to the University of Pennsylvania. What happened was the game wasn't sold out by the 72 hour restriction. Hard to believe that you couldn't sell out the NFL championship game but the first Super Bowl wasn't sold out either. The Super Bowl was different. It was held in Los Angeles so fans had to travel from KC and Green Bay. There is no way a home city like Philadelphia wasn't going to sell out that game. Bert Bell the NFL commissioner had died in the fall of 1959 and Pete Rozelle didn't take over till the end of January of 1960 so the treasurer of the NFL called the shots and he enforced the blackout rule.

The crowd reached capacity at 67,325 as portable bleachers seating 7,000 were installed around the stadium track. Still, a local television blackout was enforced, sending many Eagles fans driving to New Jersey or Baltimore to watch the game

That wasn’t the game when Gifford got hurt. For one thing Gifford played for the Giants, not the Packers. That hit took place in a November game that year, not in the Championship game

The sb will never ever be on PPV for the simple fact they would never be able to get the number of subs needed to out revenue the TV contracts the networks pay to the NFL

You're right. But I do remember reading about Bednarik standing over a Packers Jim Taylor at the end of championship game as the clock ticked down to zero saying you can get up now. He also stood over Frank Gifford after he knocked him out in the game against the New York Giants. Don't know why Gifford came to head. Chuck was amazing. Played all sixty minutes.

Just read that there will be no fourth quarter commercials for this game.

New Peacock subscriptions must be lagging.

Does anyone have any good "pirate" streaming sports websites?

I have used in the past.
firstrows.net
vipbox.me
I tried last weekend to pull up the UFC fights and both sites had it but there were so many pop up's and stuff after 5 or 10 minutes I gave up.

Looked like a decent game when they bought the rights..Chargers blew that.. watching the Chargers is a hard no even on free TV
Unless you are in the Buffalo or LA tv markets, you will need to subscribe to Peacock for $5.99/mo.
Also Peacock TV stopped offering free trials in 2021, so you'll have to pay if you want to watch.
