Streaming NFL games

We have a few questions for die-hard football fans......

We are planning a 4-6 week trip beginning in October. This will be our first multi-week trip! As much as we are looking forward to the adventure and seeing new sights, we are also concerned that we will not be able to see the NFL games.

My questions - what is the best way to be sure we don't miss games? Should we invest in a streaming stick? If so, what would you recommend? Would it be better to get the NFL app on our laptop for the 4-6 weeks, even though it is more expensive?

A quick note, neither of us is very technical... so the easier, the better. (It took 3 trips before I figured out how to hook up the cable box we were given at the parks we went to.)

Where will you be traveling and what games are you looking to watch? You should be able to get most of the games with just a regular OTA antenna.

Baseball person here.

You have to stream data to get tv! The bad news is, a lot of it.

Several gigs for a game.

We have the service mlb.com. My phone has unlimited data. Also will double as a hot spot. I am very poor with the modern electronics. We have a $45 cable to connect our rv tv to my phone.

I assume the nfl likely has a streaming service. Does cost money.

Also, we can stream all Spectrum tv on our Apple phone as well. We watch college foosball at rv parks. Easy. Again the Apple phone and adapter.

Fun to sit in the rv watching our favorite team on Saturday. beer and barbecue.

All easy.

We'll be travelling from PA to NC, SC, GA, FL, TN...and any other place that we can get to in 4-6 weeks....lol. Only have the first week planned so far.

We are Green Bay Packer fans and are used to not being able to see all their games at home. we're too close to NYC & Philly.

I never thought about the gig usage. I can use my phone as a hotspot for our laptop.

The online option for Spectrum “traditional cable”. Is really helpful.

Yes the satellites are nice, but the cable is handy. We bought a cheap Roku tv for the bedroom for the DW while she recouped from knee surgery. So easy. No wires.

The NFL Mobile app as well as the Yahoo! Sports App will allow you to stream live to your smartphone or tablet.

It will not support any of the "cast" services though.
