Is there a deal in Japan where you can watch live NFL games each week on cable? There is ASN over here in Hong Kong (4 live games a week plus repeats and analysis) but I was wondering about Japan?

What do NFL fans do between Sept and Jan??

Thanks

Gaora airs a few games per week, but the teams are totally random and the broadcasts are not live. BS Channel usually airs the MNF game a day late, though this might be only after the MLB season ends.

Otherwise, your best option is to subscribe to NFL GamePass. It's pretty expensive, $209 for the season to get games for a single team or $239 to get all games, but it's reliable and archives are available so you don't have to tune in at 2 in the morning.

Wild card? You really think the Broncos are going to continue winning? They're 3-0 now, but look who they beat. Cincy on a lucky break, and Cleveland and Oakland (a combined 0-6). Plus they have a brutal schedule coming up with the next 5 games against Dallas, NE, SD, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh.

There's no way the Broncos will win the division!

The Cleveland Clowns will not be in this season's Super Bowl.
