Sure, there's the World Series, but a lot of baseball fans enjoy the madness of the divisional series even more. There's a doubleheader of doubleheaders this weekend, with Game 2s on Saturday and Game 3s on Sunday: Atlanta at the Brewers (Saturday, 5:07 p.m., TBS), Dodgers at Giants (Saturday, 9:07 p.m., TBS), Rays at Red Sox (Sunday, 4:07 p.m., MLB Network) and Astros at White Sox (Sunday, 8:07 p.m., FS1). |
The game of the week is Buffalo at Kansas City. "Patrick Mahomes vs. Josh Allen hysteria will fill the game's broadcast," writes Emmanuel Morgan, "but in this rematch of last year's A.F.C. championship, pay attention to the Bills' defense." The unit is No. 1 in yards allowed per game and takeaways and has shut out two opponents (Sunday, 8:20 p.m., NBC). |
With four slots available in the college football playoff, you had better believe that a matchup of two top-four teams is a big game. No. 4 Penn State visits No. 3 Iowa, and the winner will take a giant stride toward its first playoff appearance (Saturday, 4 p.m., Fox). |
After a victory over Jamaica, the United States men's team is starting to breathe a bit easier on the road to World Cup qualification. But a tricky visit to Panama awaits (Sunday, 6 p.m., Universo, Paramount+). |
The biggest European tournament that isn't the Euros wraps up in Italy as France and Belgium compete to be the second ever winner of the Nations League (Sunday, 2:45 p.m., ESPN). |
The W.N.B.A. finals get underway with Game 1 of a best-of-five series (Sunday, 3 p.m., ABC). |
A week after his first NASCAR win, Bubba Wallace heads to Charlotte, where the last race of the playoffs round of 12 is held (Sunday, 2 p.m., NBC). |
