The four games will be available on both a network and a ‘cord-cutting’ paid streaming service except for the Packers-49ers contest on Fox. The Fox Sports app requires you to input your user name and password from a pay TV subscription, such as cable or satellite. There is no separate paid streaming service for Fox. The only option for cord cutters for the Fox game is an antenna or your neighborhood bar/restaurant.
The TV Answer Man has asked Fox if the game will be in 4K and will report back here if we get more information. Fox last year aired all of its NFL playoff broadcasts in 4K and could do so again this year. The Packers-Cowboys first round playoff game was in 4K on Fox.
