Top 3 Must-Watch Sporting Events This Weekend (Dec 20-21)

December drama rolls on this weekend with rivalry, playoff stakes, and star power on full display. A primetime NFL showdown leads the way, followed by a compelling College Football Playoff opener and an NBA clash that feels like a postseason preview.

NFL: Green Bay Packers @ Chicago Bears

When: Saturday, December 20th
Time: 8:20pm ET
Competition: NFL
Channel: FOX, NFL+

This is the standout NFL clash of the entire weekend, and it just so happens to fall on Saturday night. The Chicago Bears are finally delivering on the immense potential they tease every offseason, with Ben Johnson coaching a much-improved team and Caleb Williams showing signs of being the guy. The throws he can make are off the charts—and the scary thing is, the run game is just as dangerous.

They will be hosting a Green Bay Packers team that defeated them just a couple of weeks ago. Green Bay looked like a Super Bowl frontrunner in that game, but since then have lost Micah Parsons for the season, while Christian Watson is also banged up. Packers fans will be hoping Watson can suit up, because they’ll need all hands on deck to take down these resurgent Bears.

College Football Playoff: Miami Hurricanes @ Texas A&M Aggies

When: Saturday, December 20th
Time: 12:00pm ET
Competition: NCAA Football
Channel: ESPN, ESPN2

The College Football Playoff is here, and the first round is packed with intriguing matchups. Saturday’s action kicks off at midday, with the 10th-ranked Miami Hurricanes visiting the 7th-ranked Texas A&M Aggies.

This one sets up as a true strength-on-strength battle, pitting Texas A&M’s 15th-ranked offense, averaging 35.3 points per game, against Miami’s 6th-ranked defense, which is conceding just 14.8. Aggies quarterback Marcel Read has been a dangerous dual-threat all season, throwing for 2,900 yards and 25 touchdowns while adding 466 yards and six more scores on the ground.

On the other side is Carson Beck, who owns the second-highest completion rate in the nation at 74.7%, relying heavily on freshman wideout Malachi Toney for 970 of his yards. Can Miami crack the Texas A&M pass defense and pull off the upset as visiting underdogs?

NBA: Houston Rockets @ Denver Nuggets

When: Saturday, December 20th
Time: 5:00pm ET
Competition: NBA
Channel: Altitude, Space City HN, NBA TV

The Denver Nuggets and Houston Rockets square off in what could be a Western Conference playoff preview. The Nuggets are red hot on a five-game win streak, though the bookies see this one as close. As always, any Nuggets preview starts with Nikola Jokic, who leads the team in every major category—29.5 points, 12.2 rebounds, 10.9 assists, and 1.4 steals. He’s a force, and he’ll be matched up against another of the NBA’s all-time greats in Kevin Durant.

It’s Denver’s league-best offense (125.6 ppg) against Houston’s third-best defense (111.2 ppg), and it promises to be box office.
