Sunday Night Football this week will see the New Orleans Saints play hosts to the Green Bay Packers in what should be a great match up to conclude a frantic Sunday go NFL football.

Today's big Sunday Night Football game will be broadcast on NBC from 8.30 p.m. EST and can be watched online through live stream - free for subscribers to Direct TV's NFL Sunday Ticket - via the link provided below.

The New Orleans Saints come into Week 8 on 2-4, after suffering a spectacular defeat last week to the Detroit Lions. They will be desperate to get back to winning ways this week, but have a strong Green Bay Packers team to compete with, and will take an immense performance from the Saints to overturn their visitors.

Last week the Saints looked good for large portions of the game, however, they squandered a two score lead in the final four minutes to completely deflate the team and drop them to 2-4 instead of moving to 3-3.

That loss puts a completely different outlook on the Saints' season, and they know how different .500 looks to their current predicament. They must pull themselves back together and quick as today will be another tough day at the office and they face a Packers team that is sure to offer no sympathy or mercy to their struggling hosts.

The Packers started the season very slowly but have since pushed on aggressively and now enter week 8 on 5-2, and look a good bet for a Playoff berth.
