Men's American Football NFL 2025

Curious if any non-Americans follow US college (American) football.  In the state where I live (South Carolina), there are no pro sports (closest is Atlanta, GA, which has football, baseball, and basketball, and Charlotte, NC has basketball), but most everyone has their favorite college team.  I don't think it's a stretch to say that college football is more popular than pro football.

I watched some college football myself, not this season yet except OSU vs Texas. Some of the matches where power house schools pay D1 minnows to win 63-0 ain't my thing to watch

I used to follow College Football quite extensively, but after they closed the OTT service ESPN America down, it became a real problem to watch games here in Italy (unless going to illegal streams)

 

fortunately, this year DAZN started to broadcast a good number of ABC/ESPN games a week, so it will be easier to have access to them

 

we still lack the top games from Fox and CBS, but at least we're sure to be able to watch all the main bowls and the championship playoffs

 

so far, I've been busy with many sport events, but I could watch ECU vs NC State and Colorado home loss to GT from the first week

 

hope to be able to catch up with a couple games from week #2 in the next few days, even if now my priority in terms of Football is the NFL, of course

Time for the first NFL game in Europe this season. Vikings vs Steelers show up in Dublin. Apparently the Irish government counts on some big income @OlympicIRL

Happy that the Steelers win, although it shouldn't be a close game at the end because Pittsburgh dominated the first three quarters. Hopefully they can get enough rest in the bye week to beat the Browns and Burrow-less Bengals in weeks 6 and 7.

Patriots spanked the Titans 31-13 in Nashville. Firing Mike Vrabel was sure the right move...

Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad

Chiefs are down and out at 6-8 and Mahomes potentially suffering a bad knee injury tonight.

 

Meanwhile Myles Garrett is one sack away from breaking the league record.

That could sideline him into next season.  Couldn't be a much worse day for the Chiefs who are now eliminated from the playoffs

Don't look now but the Bears might actually win the division in Ben Johnson's first season as HC...
