What time is the Bears playoff game today?

The Giants (4-11) will head to Chicago (5-10) to face the Bears on Sunday afternoon.

While this game has no impact on the playoff picture since both teams no longer have any chance to make the playoffs, this game could potentially impact the NFL Draft order. Right now, the Giants have the fifth and eighth (from the Bears) picks. A win will solidify that these picks stay in the top 10, but their pick may move down a bit.

The Bears are coming off a 25-24 win over the Seahawks, though, so they might have some momentum heading into Sunday's matchup. Nick Foles potentially will be starting again for Chicago after Justin Fields and Andy Dalton are dealing with injuries. Additionally, Mike Glennon is expected to start for the Giants while Daniel Jones deals with injury.

The Bears are favored by 6.5 points, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.

The Bears and Saints play in the NFC's final wild-card game of the weekend on Sunday, Jan. 10.

Chicago will travel to New Orleans for a matchup between the NFC's No. 2 seed and the No. 7-seeded Bears. The game will be broadcast all over the place at 4:40 p.m. ET, including CBS, Nickelodeon and Amazon Prime Video as the NFL gets its product in front of as many eyes as possible.

The Saints are led by Drew Brees, who according to reports could be in his final season in the NFL. He missed time in the middle of the year with 11 fractured ribs and a collapsed lung, but he won't be missing this playoff game. New Orleans will be hoping it can get Alvin Kamara (COVID) and Michael Thomas (injury) back for Sunday's game.

Chicago made the postseason despite a Week 17 loss because the Cardinals also lost, keeping the Bears in the No. 7 spot in the expanded playoff bracket. Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky and coach Matt Nagy could both be playing for their futures in Chicago.

Below is all the info you need to watch Bears vs. Saints on Sunday, including the TV channels and kickoff time.
