NFL: New England Patriots vs. Philadelphia Eagles, Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS
Ashley: I’ll be cheering on my New England Patriots in a crucial game against Philadelphia. The matchup is already enticing, considering these franchises haven’t met since Philly beat New England in Super Bowl LII in 2017. But even more important, New England is coming off a bye the week after it suffered its first loss of the season to Baltimore in Week 9. The issues many of us believed would unravel the Patriots did, and Sunday’s game will help determine whether those issues can be fixed or will continue to get exposed against tougher competition.#TBT #Eagles at Patriots, December 6th 2015. Philly shocks the world by beating the defending Super Bowl Champion Patriots. An interception, punt return, & blocked punt all resulted in touchdowns as the Birds stormed back from a 14 point deficit to win. #FlyEaglesFly #53AngryMen pic.twitter.com/bj0hP6WzXl

NCAAF: #4 Georgia at #12 Auburn, Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET, CBS
Jeremy: The Bulldogs still have a legitimate shot at a national title, even after a bad home loss to South Carolina, but need to get through their only significant road test first. Through nine games this season, Georgia has only played two true road games—not counting the neutral-site cocktail party against Florida—and those came against SEC doormats Vanderbilt and Tennessee. The hostile environment the Bulldogs will face at Jordan-Hare Stadium is unlike anything they’ve seen this season, and the pressure will be on against a standout Auburn defense. Let’s not forget Auburn was an onside kick away from making things very interesting at LSU a few weeks ago.D’Andre Swift on the atmosphere that awaits Georgia next week at Auburn.

NBA: Sacramento Kings vs. Los Angeles Lakers, Friday, 10:30 p.m. ET, NBATV
Ryan: A Kings-Lakers matchup may not sound exciting to the casual fan, but I'm fascinated to see how Luke Walton approaches this game. This will be his first appearance in LA after "leading" the Lakers to an atrocious 98-148 record, and he'll be keen to show his many detractors just how much he's grown as a coach. The Lakers are the superior squad, but the revenge factor makes this game worth watching until the final buzzer.Luke Walton looks ahead to his return to Los Angeles to face the Lakers for the first time since his departure from the organization.

NFL: Kansas City Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Chargers, Monday, 8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN
Thomas: This week I’m headed to the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City for my pick of the week, and I'm taking Kansas City (-4). After a crushing defeat vs. Tennessee in Week 10, I expect Patrick Mahomes to rebound against Los Angeles with a monster game south of the border. Although I don’t love the spread, I think this is a great opportunity for KC to flex their muscles, and remind the entire NFL how dangerous this offense can be.In honor of the upcoming Chargers game, here's a special little throwback... ??#TBT feat. @cheetah ?#ChiefsKingdom pic.twitter.com/iZsV5T3ohx
