How to watch 2024 NFL Wild Card games on TV and live stream?

The Baltimore Ravens are the in-form team in the NFL, with Lamar Jackson and Co. having annihilated the San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins in back-to-back weeks. Due to the Ravens owning the No. 1 seed in the AFC, they'll enjoy a wild card bye to start the postseason. The San Francisco 49ers will also be free in the wild card round, as they topped the NFC Conference above the likes of the Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions, and Philadelphia Eagles.

While the Ravens are this year's Super Bowl favorites, don't be deceived into thinking they'll have smooth sailing to the Lombardi Trophy. The 49ers are a scary opponent when in the mood, the Kansas City Chiefs are defending Super Bowl champions, and the Detroit Lions have a frantic but effective offensive playing style. The 2024 postseason is the most open in years, and it'll be hard to predict a Super Bowl champ this early in the year.
