I would admit none of those 3 are as good as broadcast HD but are a damn sight better than broadcast SD, if I were to rank them on picture quality the NFL service would be first and the closest to broadcast HD, BT sports second (hampered by its lowish bitrate) and Now TV 3rd (hampered by its 25 fps framerate).

I realise how good sports streaming services can be by being fortunate enough to use some services from the USA, despite having to counteract geo-restrictions when I use these I get a service without faults and with a picture quality on a par with UK broadcast HD if not better on some occasions (ESPN at 12500 kpbs is most definitely better than I've seen from a UK sports broadcaster).
NFL is very good PQ in HD - I believe one reason for this is the pitch is very narrow compared to Football/Rugby pitch hence cameras can be a lot closer

Not sure how TV player consider the 38 premium channels to be Premium - only ever watched 2 of them and then only 1 or 2 times a year (and those channels are free on sky)
