Good news for those looking to find the TV channel for Packers vs. Chiefs on "Sunday Night Football": This game, scheduled to kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET, is being nationally televised by NBC. So yes, you get the game on TV.
The NFL schedule for Week 8 brings us a matchup that looked a lot more intriguing a little more than a week ago. Thanks in part to the knee injury that is keeping Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes out of this game, the Packers enter Sunday night as four-point road favorites, per Sportsbook Review. Of course, the Chiefs have injury issues that extend beyond the ailment of the reigning NFL MVP.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is coming off a game in which he passed for 429 yards and 5 TDs for a 158.3 rating, plus a rushing TD, to become the third player in NFL history with 400-plus passing yards, five or more passing TDs and a rushing TD in a single game.
