‘Sunday Night Football’ 2015 live stream: How to watch 49ers vs. Giants online

The San Francisco 49ers have had a rough season thus far, and the New York Giants haven't been much better. As far as overall records go, the Giants have the edge, sitting at 2-2 while the 49ers are at 1-3. It's not exactly a matchup of titans, but there is a bit of a rivalry between the two teams and they generally combine for exciting games. If that's enough for you, then you can check it out on NBC Sports Live Extra when Sunday Night Football gets underway at 8:30 p.m. ET.

As far as where these teams will be when the season actually comes to an end, it's anybody's guess. The 49ers have a talented roster even after a crazy offseason seriously derailed things, but they play in one of the tougher divisions in the NFL. The Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals aren't going to make it easy for the 49ers to stay competitive.

New York, on the other hand, plays in a poor division and seems to be the least-flawed team at the moment. Washington is as big a mess as ever, the Philadelphia Eagles essentially underwent similar changes to the 49ers except their head coach chose to have all of them take place and the Dallas Cowboys are losing playmakers to injury every single week.

San Francisco is coming off of three consecutive losses in which it showed little to be excited about, but the Giants have strung together a couple quality wins over Washington and the Buffalo Bills. It will be Eli Manning vs. Colin Kaepernick on Sunday night, but smart money is on the former given recent history.
