Saints at Panthers: Game time, TV schedule, streaming, and more, via @DillySanders:

The New Orleans Saints offense will look to bounce back in Week 3 of the NFL season against the Carolina Panthers. Jameis Winston, still dealing with ankle and back injuries, had three interceptions last week and will need to have a much cleaner performance against Carolina in this one. The defense has looked as good as ever, but they will hope to find some pass rush success.

The Panthers are 0-2, with head coach Matt Rhule firmly on the hot seat. Meanwhile, Baker Mayfield searches for his first win in Carolina. Here’s how you can tune in to the action, wherever you are:

Arkansas football vs. Texas A&M: How to watch, stream, listen

Arkansas and Texas A&M play in the only dual-ranked game of the night in Week 4.

The Southwest Classic returns with some bite in 2022. Arkansas and Texas A&M kickoff in the top matchup of Week 4’s Saturday night at 6 p.m. from Arlington, Texas.

Arkansas is ranked No. 10 in the country and Texas A&M is No. 20. The Aggies had won nine straight in the series until last year when the Razorbacks’ win propelled the Hogs to a 4-0 start and a No. 8 ranking the following week.

An Arkansas win again this season would likely do the same this year. Next week Alabama visits Fayetteville and the nation’s eyes would be on the game if the Razorbacks were to get past Texas A&M.

The nation’s eyes will likely be on the game tonight, anyway, as it’s the only nighttime kickoff between two ranked teams.

LSU vs. New Mexico: Stream, injury report, broadcast info for Saturday

Here’s everything you need to know to follow LSU’s Week 4 matchup against the Lobos.

The Tigers will look to win their third-straight game this weekend as the New Mexico Lobos come to town. A 2-1 Mountain West squad under third-year coach Danny Gonzales, UNM is looking to pull off a stunning upset in the first-ever matchup between the two schools.

The Lobos are coming off a big win over UTEP, while LSU took care of business at home against Mississippi State in coach Brian Kelly’s SEC debut.

This will be the Tigers’ last opportunity to get things in order before their first road trip of the season to face a struggling Auburn team next weekend, which kicks off the bulk of the SEC schedule.

Here’s everything you need to know to follow this week’s game.

Fantasy Football: Top streaming options for Week 3

Here are the top streaming options for Week 3 of fantasy football.

We are entering Week 3 of the fantasy football season, and streaming the waiver wire is becoming an increasingly vital aspect for managers.

Given the injuries to quarterbacks Trey Lance, Dak Prescott and Justin Herbert, fantasy managers may find themselves in quite a pickle for Week 3. Meanwhile, the tight end position continues to be a barren landscape, especially for those who drafted players like Cole Kmet and T.J. Hockenson, to name a few.

Whether you voluntarily live the stream life or are essentially forced into it, here are the top streaming options in fantasy football for Week 3.

Saints vs Buccaneers: Game time, TV schedule, streaming, and more

Unsure how to catch the action on Sunday when the New Orleans Saints take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Here are your options to watch the game, via @DillySanders:

The New Orleans Saints were barely able to escape the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1, but now they are given the opportunity to take sole lead in the NFC South with a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in New Orleans on Sunday.

It’s the home debut of Tyrann Mathieu and Jarvis  Landry who are both coming off of huge games in Week 1. Emotions are sure to be high as family and friends are gathering to see a dream come true. Two LSU legends represent New Orleans in the NFL for the first time.

The Buccaneers have infamously never beaten the Saints in the regular season during the Tom Brady era, could this be the first time they make the feat? Here’s how you can tune in to the action, wherever you are:

Fantasy Football: Top streaming options in Week 1

Here’s a look at the top streaming options for fantasy football in Week 1.

The first week of football is finally here, which means fantasy football managers are right at home tinkering and researching ways to build the optimal lineup.

It’s right where we all want to be.

Though the draft season is coming to an end, and the majority of managers are set for Week 1, there are those who will be taking on the stream life when it comes to certain positions.

The stream life isn’t for everyone. It’s chaotic, hectic, and stressful. But when it hits correctly, it can have a massive impact on a manager’s lineup.

In order to qualify as a streamer, a player must be available in more than 40% of ESPN leagues at the time of writing. Each week, we will focus on the quarterback, tight end, defense/special teams, and kicker positions.

For each position, I’ll give a “stream of the week” indicating the priority streamer along with an additional two options. Don’t be afraid to hit me up on Twitter with any questions or thoughts on the process (shameless plug – @KevinHickey11).

After taking a look at the top options on the waiver wire for Week 1, here are the top streaming options in fantasy football:

Are streaming-only football games coming to the Big Ten?

The Big Ten is searching for a new media deal. Could that lead to streaming-only games?

The Big Ten is seeking a new media deal, and it might change the way Iowa fans watch their favorite team.

As the entertainment world moves more and more toward streaming, football is no exception. Recently the NFL announced that they will now be streaming Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime starting in the 2022 season.

Now, the Big Ten is toying with the idea as they ponder their next media deal. The current deals with FOX and ESPN expire after this academic year as explored in Sam Marsdale’s latest for 247Sports.

The value of the Big Ten’s next media-rights deal could be worth roughly $1 billion, according to Sports Business Journal, but (Big Ten commissioner Kevin) Warren did not confirm any potential numbers with Dennis Dodd earlier this month. Warren named seven suitors — CBS, TNT, NBC, Apple, Amazon, FOX and ESPN.

The Big Ten led all conferences in the 2020 fiscal year. That year, even with the pandemic negatively impacting business, the Big Ten reported $768.90 million in total revenue. That beat the SEC, which came in second, by a fairly wide margin. – Marsdale, 247Sports.

“I think the biggest thing is for us to continually be really thoughtful as we finalize our deals and come up with our thought process,” Warren said. “The media landscape has changed, and you think (of) the interplay between linear television and streaming.

“We just have to really think through what fits for what the Big Ten stands for, what’s in the best interest of our fans, what’s in the best interests of our student-athletes, and what’s in the best interest of our member institutions. So on all of these complex deals that you’re working on, as you start kind of really honing in, this is the time to be thoughtful, to ask a lot of questions, to determine what makes the most sense, and really to take the time that you need.”

While it has not explicitly been stated that the Big Ten will commit to only streaming games, or how they would go at doing so, hopefully, it will make more games available. For example, games that wouldn’t be on television would now be available as part of a streaming service, rather than locking massive primetime games behind a paywall.

Fans should not panic yet, of course, it is all speculation right now, but with the trends of sports media, this is certainly something to keep an eye on over the next month.
