The New Orleans Saints are joined by the Atlanta Falcons as the two NFC South teams on a bye week in Week 12. So, if you can’t root for the Saints to win or for the Falcons to lose, what will you do this Sunday? You can still root for the Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers to lose.
The Panthers started their two game winning streak against the Saints, and it will likely end this Sunday as they take on the Kansas City Chiefs. According to the 506 Sports broadcast maps, that game will be available as CBS’ lone televised game of the week. FOX has the double header.
Week 12 doesn’t offer a lot of interesting games in the early slot, but the Packers and 49ers face off in the game of the week. That game will also be televised in New Orleans, as well as the majority of the country. The other game on FOX is the Cardinals versus the Seahawks, so New Orleanians couldn’t lose either way.
The Saints may not be playing, but there are really good options on local channels. Check the broadcast maps and see what is available for you locally:
