Are you ready for the college football playoffs? Not mentally — we know you’re mentally ready — we mean ready in the sense that do you have a service that will help you watch the games in a convenient and affordable way? If not, we recommend that you check out Sling, which is offering some pretty crazy deals on, you guessed it, an easy and convenient way to catch college football games.

Sling is offering their Orange or Blue plan for a base price of $45.99, or their Orange or Blue plan with local channels (which may open up games from your favorite local teams) at a price of $50.99, or just $5 more. However, for a limited time you will be able to get either of these plans for half off, a generous offering from a great streaming platform. Tap the button below to check it out for yourself or keep reading to see what games you get with each plan, other goodies that the plans provide, and all of the key information you need to make your choice.
