Highlighting the Sunday TV schedule today are two NFL games. After 13 games over the previous three days, the pace of preseason football slows down on the second day of the weekend. Let’s look at the NFL games today, how to watch, the TV schedule, and some predictions for how they could turn out.
Are there NFL preseason Sunday football games today?
The action continues today with two of the final three NFL games of the week. The first Sunday game begins at 1 PM ET as the New York Giants travel to the Cleveland Browns. The second matchup kicks off at 7:30 PM ET, with the San Francisco 49ers facing the Los Angeles Chargers.

Giants vs. Browns prediction
This matchup may not be the most exciting. The Giants were really poor last week, and even if more of their starters take the field, it likely will not be for long. The Giants’ reserve players struggled against the Jets last week, and the Browns are a significant step up.
Meanwhile, the Browns were very impressive last week, despite not having their own starters. Even though we won’t see many of them again in this game, they are a strong roster with depth. Therefore, it is not a surprise that current NFL odds have the Browns as clear favorites.
49ers vs. Chargers prediction
Much like the first game, this could be a complete mismatch. The Chargers are not set to play any of their key starters unless something significant changes. On the other hand, the 49ers have a QB contest on their hands. That means we will likely see both Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance on the field. For that very reason, the 49ers are heavy favorites in this one.
