FuboTV

FuboTV started as a streaming service geared toward sports fans. It’s since evolved into a broadly-appealing option with entertainment and news options alongside its robust sports choices. It starts at $54.99 a month, and depending on the package, you can access as many as 180+ FuboTV channels. Fubo can entertain you with Bravo, IFC, MTV, and VH1 at even Fubo’s most basic tier.

The Fubo channel list still includes plenty of sports, including the Fubo Sports Network, which has original programming mixing sports and humor. Fubo added the ESPN suite of channels in an agreement that also brought ABC and the Disney Channel. That means you can stream Patriots vs Jets and all the Monday Night Football matches.

This season, unlike others, you ca stream Monday Night Football with Fubo. Now, pretty much every sports channel you could think of is available through Fubo, including BeIN Sports, CBS Sports Network, and TUDN.

Preview: Bills vs. Patriots

For much of the last decade, a Week 16 game for the Patriots would be about securing home-field advantage. Now, the Patriots are out of the playoff picture entirely, and it’s the AFC East champion Bills looking to improve on its current No. 3 seed. A win over the Pats would allow the Bills to compete for the No. 2 spot currently occupied by a Steelers team that stopped a recent slide.

Last week, the Bills routed the Broncos 48-19 in a Saturday matchup; Josh Allen threw for three touchdowns and ran for another in the contest that wasn’t. Meanwhile, the Patriots dropped a divisional game to the Dolphins, 22-12, ensuring that they can’t finish above .500.

Odds

The Bills are 7-point road favorites, according to BetMGM (on Dec. 28), with an over-under of 46.5.
