Sunday Night Football will see the Chicago Bears play the Philadelphia Eagles tonight in a massive game for both teams. This one is packed with postseason implications, and whoever loses today could see their playoff dreams placed on a knife edge.

The game will start at 8.30 p.m. EST and will be broadcast on the NBC network. Alternatively the game will be shown online through live stream – free for subscribers to Direct TV's NFL Sunday Ticket – via the link provided below.

The NFC conference playoff pictures is still not confirmed and things are coming down to the wire; this match up will have a big say in what the final alignment will look like.

Both of these teams are chasing the titles in their respective divisions. The Eagles suffered a set back last week when they lost to the Minnesota Vikings. However, their five game win sequence before that loss has put them in a strong position.

Meanwhile, the Bears have now won two straight games and will be looking to win out the season to ensure they claim the title.

The Eagles have a one game lead over the chasing Dallas Cowboys, and even if they lose today they would be in a reasonable position. However, the Bears are desperate for the win to confirm their place at the top.

The Eagles rank in the top 10 in points, rushing yards, passing yards and total yards this season, and they will be hoping all that good work does not go to waste by losing the final two games of the season, which would potentially allow the Dallas Cowboys to snatch the title away from them.

The Bears meanwhile rank number 2 in the NFL for points per game (29.0), meaning this is likely to be an offensive face off between two powerful teams on the attack.
