• When: Saturday, December 13
• Time: 3:00 PM ET
• Competition: NCAA Football
• Channel: CBS, Paramount+, FUBO Sports

The final regular season college football game is here and, as always, it’s going to be tense. This is one of the oldest rivalries in the nation, going deeper than football as two storied institutions of the United States Armed Forces fight for bragging rights. 

Both teams love their triple-option offense, so expect plenty of running as the two jostle for domination of field possession. It’s always one of the most electric crowds in college football and there is no reason to expect anything different this time around. As the traditional final game of the college football regular season calendar, this game will serve as the perfect warm up for bowl season. 

NBA: Emirates NBA Cup Semi-Finals

• When: Saturday, December 13
• Time: From 5:30PM ET
• Competition: NBA
• Channel: League Pass

The second edition of the NBA Cup is coming to an end, and after the success of last year’s final stages, fans should be excited for what this weekend holds. The final four teams will each be hoping to earn themselves some silverware and an extra pay check to kickstart the Christmas period in style. 

The action will set up the final on Tuesday where the second NBA Cup champions will be crowned. 

NFL: Indianapolis Colts @ Seattle Seahawks

• When: Sunday, December 14
• Time: 4:25 PM ET
• Competition: NFL
• Channel: CBS, Paramount+, FUBO Sports

The NFL playoff race is reaching its boiling point, and every result carries massive weight. Few teams need a victory more than the Colts and Seahawks, who meet in a crucial Sunday afternoon showdown. Indianapolis was one of the surprises of the season behind the resurgence of quarterback Daniel Jones, but his Achilles injury is just the latest setback in a brutal stretch for the team. Their postseason path has narrowed, yet Shane Steichen’s early-season offensive success shows they still have enough firepower to remain dangerous.

Seattle, meanwhile, is fighting to strengthen its own playoff position and would love nothing more than to derail the Colts' hopes. Sam Darnold and Jaxon Smith-Njigba have quickly developed into one of the NFL’s most explosive quarterback–receiver duos, and if they find their rhythm again, the Colts’ defense will have a full afternoon’s work ahead of them.
