NFL coverage map Week 4: NFL TV map, broadcast info for Sunday’s games, best games to watch

Here is the Week 5 NFL coverage map.

The 2023 NFL season is underway with football fans tuning in every Thursday, Sunday and Monday to watch some of their favorite teams. While NFL Sunday Ticket is gaining popularity, the NFL coverage map is a guide that all football fans need.

While every NFL game is on television, many are on at the same time. As a result, TV networks and league officials agree to have certain teams broadcasted in certain markets. The NFL TV map shows you what games are being played in your area. The NFL broadcast map changes each week and we’ll provide you with updates throughout the season.

There are four NFL games on CBS in the early afternoon. The above NFL TV map doesn’t include the Atlanta Falcons vs Jacksonville Jaguars game, which is taking place at Wembley Stadium. You can watch the Falcons vs Jaguars game on ESPN+.

Miami Dolphins vs Buffalo Bills – CBS – 1 PM ET – Jim Nantz and Tony Romo

The best NFL game in Week 4 is the Dolphins vs Bills. Buffalo is favored at home, but this AFC East matchup is essentially a pick-em. In this matchup, the Bills’ offense is by far the toughest test Miami’s defense has faced all season and the Dolphins don’t have the secondary to match with Stefon Diggs. On the other hand, Miami has far too many playmakers for Buffalo’s defense to handle. If this game is on in your area, watch it.

Denver Broncos vs Chicago Bears – CBS – 1 PM ET – Andrew Catalon, Tiki Barber and Matt Ryan

A matchup between two winless teams in a game that could potentially decide the No. 1 overall pick. Even after suffering one of the worst losses in NFL history, the Denver Broncos are favored on the road to beat the Chicago Bears. We expect the Broncos to win, but the real problem for Chicago will be if Justin Fields struggles versus Denver’s defense. If this is the only game on in your area, cleaning up the house might be a good idea.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs Houston Texans – CBS – 1 PM ET – Spero Dedes and Adam Archuleta

Most football fans, outside of supporters of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Houston Texans, might skip this game. However, it’s not as bad as you might think. C.J. Stroud has played at a Pro Bowl level in the past two games and his comfort in the pocket paired with his quick decision-making should work wonders against the Steelers’ secondary. On the other side, this matchup is an opportunity for Kenny Pickett and Najee Harris to get things going after rough starts. We consider the Steelers vs Texans as one of the most underrated games in Week 4.

Baltimore Ravens vs Cleveland Browns – CBS – 1 PM ET – Ian Eagle and Charles Davis

This projects to be a classic Ravens vs Steelers game. While Baltimore’s defense is missing several starters, Deshaun Watson and the Browns’ offense has looked below-average without Nick Chubb. When Baltimore has the football, it will have a very tough time moving the football against one of the best defenses in the NFL. We anticipate a close, low-scoring game that will remind both fan bases of classic battles.

New England Patriots vs Dallas Cowboys – FOX – 4:25 PM ET

A matchup between two of the most storied franchises in the NFL. The New England Patriots came away with a victory last weekend, but it was far closer than it should’ve been against the New York Jets. With this Patriots’ offense still struggling, it’s hard to imagine Mac Jones and Rhamondre Stevenson having much success against the Dallas Cowboys’ defense. However, with injuries on the offensive line, Dak Prescott and the Cowboys offense might also struggle to sustain drives.

Arizona Cardinals vs San Francisco 49ers – FOX – 4:25 PM ET

Don’t look past this game completely. While the San Francisco 49ers are a two-touchdown favorite, the Arizona Cardinals have taken all three of their opponents to the wire this season. We’re not projecting Arizona to win, but it’s evident this roster fights for Jonathan Gannon and that means the 49ers could be in for a tougher challenge than they might be expecting.
