Wisconsin basketball’s game vs. Ohio State will only be available on one streaming platform

The Wisconsin Badgers (13-3, 3-2 Big Ten) will look to extend their win streak to six games when they host the Ohio State Buckeyes (10-6, 2-3 Big Ten) on Tuesday.

Wisconsin enters the matchup with the upper hand. First, the Badgers are at home, where they are 10-1 so far this season. Second, the team is red-hot after three straight conference triumphs to start the calendar year. Finally, Ohio State enters after a sub-par three-game stretch: a home loss to No. 12 Michigan State, a 2OT road win over Minnesota and a narrow loss to No. 13 Oregon.

Momentum and trends point to a Wisconsin victory.

Fans are likely used to this refrain by now. For those interested in watching whether the Badgers extend their win streak, the game will be carried exclusively on Peacock.

Wisconsin is 2-2 in Peacock-only games this season: a big win over Arizona, tough losses to Michigan and Illinois, then a decisive home win over Minnesota. Ohio State enters ranked No. 32 in KenPom. That slot is far below the trio of top teams listed, but also a substantial step above Minnesota’s ranking of No. 114.

Wisconsin and Ohio State will tip off at 9 p.m. ET, 8 p.m. CT at the Kohl Center. The Badgers enter the matchup as sizable betting favorites. Again, a Peacock subscription will be required to watch the action.

The Wisconsin Badgers (12-3, 2-2 Big Ten) are back on the Kohl Center court on Friday night for a game against the Minnesota Golden Gophers (8-7, 0-4 Big Ten).

The teams’ records display a discrepancy in quality, as do the latest KenPom standings. Wisconsin is No. 21 in the nation (No. 5 in the Big Ten) while Minnesota is No. 109 (last in the Big Ten).

The Badgers seek a fifth consecutive victory and third straight Big Ten win when the two teams tip at 7 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. CT. For fans interested in tuning in, the game will be carried exclusively on Peacock.

Wisconsin is 1-2 in Peacock-only games this season: a big win over Arizona plus tough losses to Michigan and Illinois. Minnesota appears far less of a test than those three top-ranked foes, at least on paper.

The Badgers enter the contest with considerable momentum after big wins over Iowa and Rutgers, the former in record-breaking fashion. Minnesota, meanwhile, has lost two straight to No. 20 Purdue and Ohio State. It has dropped all four conference games it has played this season.

Wisconsin enters Friday’s game as the prohibitive favorite. Fans will need to tune into Peacock to see how the game unfolds.

NFL Week 18 broadcast map: Will your station carry Saints vs. Buccaneers?

The Saints game was shown in only local markets last week, but their pivotal matchup with the Buccaneers will draw a bigger crowd:

This week’s pivotal contest between the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will certainly find its way into more homes than last week’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

If you weren’t in the local area or states neighboring Louisiana, the Week 17 Saints-Raiders game wasn’t aired locally. Saints and Buccaneers, however, will be broadcast with much greater range.

The divisional showdown is being aired locally in much of South Florida and Louisiana, and it’s the FOX early game on the entire West Coast and much of the Northeast, per 506 Sports.

Alvin Kamara could return in pursuit of reaching 1,000 rushing yards. Baker Mayfield is trying to lead the Buccaneers to the playoffs for the second time. There are some things to be interested by in this game. That could be one of the factors leading to the increased range of the season finale.

Instead of New Orleans, it’ll be the Jacksonville Jaguars and Indianapolis Colts who are isolated to their local areas. Kickoff is set for Noon CT/1 p.m. ET from Raymond James Stadium. Areas marked in red on this map will be showing the Saints for the last time this season:

Saints-Raiders will be one of the least-watched games in Week 17

Saints-Raiders will be one of the least-watched games in Week 17. TV coverage is being confined to each team’s home market:

If you’re living outside the New Orleans Saints’ or Las Vegas Raiders’ home market, you could have a hard time catching Week 17’s game at the Caesars Superdome. Kickoff is set for Noon CT/ 1 p.m. ET.

Thanks to this broadcast map from 506 Sports, we can see that this week’s Saints game is being shown locally in just each team’s home market. Most of America will be watching the Dallas Cowboys-Philadelphia Eagles game in the FOX early window, while New York Giants fans and Indianapolis Colts faithful will see their teams at home, too.

Coverage for Saints-Raiders is being limited to southeastern Nevada, most of Louisiana (except for Shreveport) and the Gulf South into Mississippi, southwestern Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle. Some fans in Arkansas border towns will get the game, but not as many as usual.

It’s easy to see why this isn’t an attractive matchup. Neither the Saints nor the Raiders are eligible for the playoffs. Both squads are starting backup quarterbacks, and the potential for a Derek Carr revenge game isn’t there, either. This one just doesn’t have the juice that an NFC East rivalry game between two high-profile franchises does.

College Football Playoff: 2025 draft prospects to watch during Clemson vs. Texas

The top 2025 NFL draft prospects to watch during Clemson Tigers vs. Texas Longhorns College Football Playoff game on Saturday feature plenty of playmakers on each side of the ball:

The newly expanded College Football Playoffs have begun and it is providing another way to prepare for the 2025 NFL draft.

For teams like the New Orleans Saints, the NFL draft has already become the most exciting thing for the future. Watching these games could give some insight into who the next Saints players will be.

Up second on Saturday is the Clemson Tigers taking on the Texas Longhorns, a matchup full of NFL talent.

The top draft prospect in this matchup would be Longhorns offensive tackle Kelvin Banks. Banks is one of the best pass-blocking tackles in the country and is also more than solid in run protection.

Taliese Fuaga has been good at left tackle, but drafting Banks would allow him to move back to the right side where he has proven dominant.

A Day 2 prospect to watch is Tigers tight end Jake Briningstool. It’s clear that New Orleans’ offense needs another weapon at that spot and Briningstool has the tools that modern day tight ends possess.

He is a solid pass catcher that can get by with enough blocking ability. The senior has 1,311 career receiving yards and 17 touchdowns. He has a high ceiling that is certainly worth a look in the third round.

Closing things out with a Day 3 prospect, Clemson running back Phil Mafah would be an interesting pair with Alvin Kamara.

With shades of Kamara and Mark Ingram a few years ago, having one shifty back and another power back has come back in style. Mafah has had a breakout campaign after sharing the field with Philadelphia Eagles running back Will Shipley previously.

How to Watch

This game is one of the few college football games that won’t be played on ESPN this postseason. It will be aired on TNT as well as available to be streamed on Sling and Max.

Joe Buck, Troy Aikman on the call for Saints Week 16 matchup in Green Bay

Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, and Lisa Salters will be on the call for the Saints’ Week 16 matchup against the Green Bay Packers:

The New Orleans Saints are back in a primetime slot for the first time in a little while, and this time they will take on the Green Bay Packers in Week 16 at Lambeau Field. With this, they are on Monday Night Football, which will be covered by the ESPN crew of Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, and Lisa Salters.

Buck and Aikman are a pairing that fans may recognize as one of the more unfavorable announcing crews of the options available, as Buck has been perceived to have a general lack of emotion in his commentary at some points, and Aikman has a few different criticisms from different points of view. Ultimately in recent games, they have been better, however, and it seems the quality of their broadcasts has improved lately which is a great sign.

In a game that could be slow-moving to start off due to strong defenses and weather conditions, this could be a perfect point of emphasis for the crew of Buck, Aikman, and Salters to use to their advantage, as they can analyze the play and schemes of each team as they work through the opening parts of the matchup. Aikman’s analysis from the point of view of a former player always provides some level of quality content, and Buck has strong analysis as well at many points. Pairing them up with Salters is a good choice, as she has immense experience as well and knowledge of the game.

Saints-Commanders coverage will draw a lot of eyes in Week 15

The New Orleans Saints and Washington Commanders matchup will garner a decently-sized broadcast this week, despite not being the primary matchup:

The New Orleans Saints and Washington Commanders matchup in Week 15 will draw a decently-sized broadcast, however, it will not be the primary game in the FOX early time slot this week. Last week, the Saints and Giants game was restricted pretty much exclusively to their own markets and nowhere else, and this week it is slightly expanded, but still somewhat in a small region compared to some other games.

Of the early games, the matchup most of the nation will see is the Dallas Cowboys and Carolina Panthers. Why? We do not know. The other two early FOX games will stick to their respective regions with the Cincinnati Bengals taking on the Tennessee Titans, and the New York Jets taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Saints and Commanders game however will have decent chunks of media coverage, including all of Louisiana, most of Georgia and Mississippi, and then a large section across Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. Additionally, there is a small little blip of coverage in South Bend, Ind. which will also receive this game broadcast.

Here is the full map, with the key for which game each color indicates:

Saints-Giants TV coverage limited to each team’s home market in Week 14

TV coverage for Saints-Giants is limited to each team’s home market in Week 14. There won’t be a lot of eyes on MetLife Stadium:

There won’t be many eyes on MetLife Stadium this Sunday when the New Orleans Saints kick off with the New York Giants. That’s to be expected when the two teams have combined for six wins going into Week 14, but it’s still a disappointing turn of events.

Broadcast coverage on FOX will be limited to each team’s home market this week; that means Eastern New York and Long Island plus Vermont, Connecticut, and Western New Hampshire for Giants fans. For Saints fans, areas in and around Louisiana as well as most of Mississippi, Southern Alabama, and the Florida panhandle will have the game on.

If you’re out of market, look into a streaming service like Fubo, NFL+, or NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV and see which best suits your needs.

Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 8 at Noon CT/1 p.m. ET. Here’s a map from 506 Sports reflecting coverage for this week’s Saints-Giants game:

Week 13 broadcast map: Will your station carry Saints vs. Rams?

The Week 13 broadcast map has been released, will you be able to view Saints vs. Rams in your area?

The New Orleans Saints are back from their bye week and are now looking to extend their winning streak to three games under Darren Rizzi against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 13.

According to the 506 Sports broadcast map, this game will only be carried in relatively limited areas, including Louisiana and some of the surrounding region, the southern half of California, a thin line of the central United States from Indianapolis to Washington D.C., and then a small portion of New England in eastern Massachusetts, all of Rhode Island, and southern New Hampshire/Vermont.

FOX will carry this broadcast, however much of the United States will instead be receiving the Arizona Cardinals and Minnesota Vikings, which surrounds nearly every region that has the Saints and Rams matchup.

This matchup is set to kick off at 3:05 p.m. CT/4:05 p.m. ET on Sunday in the Caesars Superdome. These two teams have not met since Week 16 of the 2023 season, and will get the chance to have at it again this year after missing a few seasons of matchups in 2020 and 2021.

How to watch Saints vs. Browns today: Time, TV channel for Week 11

Everything to know about how to watch the upcoming matchup between the New Orleans Saints and the Cleveland Browns.

The New Orleans Saints got back to the right side of the win column in shocking fashion last week with a 20-17 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

The team could not have asked for a better start to the Darren Rizzi era after parting ways with Dennis Allen in Caesars Superdome, and will have the perfect opportunity to keep the momentum rolling with a matchup against the 2-7 Cleveland Browns as they make their way to the Big Easy.

Cleveland is slightly favored in this matchup by a mere point in a game that is almost certain to come down to the wire. And it will mark the Saints’ first opportunity in months to prove they can stack wins after snapping an abysmal seven-game losing streak.

Here’s how to watch the Saints and Browns game, including time, TV schedule and streaming information:

What channel is Saints vs. Browns game on today? Time, TV schedule

Saints vs. Browns predictions, picks, odds

Saints 23, Browns 20: The Saints and the Browns have been two of the NFL’s lowliest teams for sometime now with similar records. But the Saints come into this one with a new sense of momentum and optimism in the second game of the Darren Rizzi era after knocking off the Atlanta Falcons with a 20-17 statement win. The Saints build off of this one in Caesars Superdome with a 23-20 win, as long as they keep Nick Chubb from getting back to doing Nick Chubb things.
