Other ways to watch NFL playoff games today on TV

1) Locast

Locast is a not-for-profit service offering a completely free way to stream your local broadcast channels (though donations are encouraged). It’s a godsend for football fans, especially during the NFL playoffs. There’s one catch. The service is only available in a handful of cities at the moment: New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, Houston, Denver, Boston, and Dallas. If you happen to be in one of those areas, it’s worth trying. 


Saints vs. Rams: Why it matters

The Rams traveled to New Orleans earlier this season, and Los Angeles suffered its first loss of the year in a 45-35 defeat. Considering the Rams have to make a return trip to the home stadium of the Saints on Sunday, that’s an ominous sign. But L.A. has some advantages. It’s got a top-notch running back in Todd Gurley and a top-notch receiver in Robert Woods. But the Saints counter them with Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas, respectively, and even better for New Orleans, it’s got Drew Brees—one of the best quarterbacks in history—in its back pocket. This game will probably be a high-scoring affair, and the biggest winner of the contest might ultimately be the fans who get to watch.
