College Football

Ohio State at Michigan, 9 am 11/28/15

Alabama at Auburn - Iron Bowl, 12:30 pm 11/28/15

Despite a down season from Auburn, the rivalry between these two teams usually creates an exciting game.

Baylor at TCU, 4:30 pm 11/27/15

Time for round two! Friday will see a rematch of one of the best games from last season, where the Bears snuck by TCU 61 to 58. Will TCU win the rematch?

The Fighting Irish and the nerds of Stanford are both in playoff contention. A win here could help push either of them into the post-season.

Oklahoma at Oklahoma State, 5 pm 11/28/15

This will be a big game for the Cowboys of Oklahoma State. If State wins & Baylor loses, the Cowboys will win the Big 12. If Oklahoma wins, they will be Big 12 Champs!

NFL

Carolina at Dallas, 1:30 pm 11/26/15

It is a Thanksgiving tradition to have America's team playing on a very American holiday, even though this team is having a rough season. Romo being back should make an interesting match up against Cam Newton and his undefeated Panthers.
