26 games played, by sport.
EPL The marquee game is Manchester City hosting Coventry City, where Manchester City comes in unbeaten and heavily favored to keep their clean sheet streak alive against a Coventry side still searching for its first win. Keep an eye on Tottenham Hotspur traveling to Nottingham Forest, a rare road spot where the Premier League regular is actually the underdog after an oh-for-two start. If you want a tighter watch, Aston Villa at Hull City is close on the odds board and could easily end level, so do not be shocked by a draw there.
MLB The marquee matchup is the Atlanta Braves against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, a heavyweight NL East showdown with both clubs still jockeying for playoff position down the stretch. Keep an eye on how deep each starter can go and whether the heart of the order can push a run across early, since the bullpens in this series have been shaky all week. Also worth a glance: the Milwaukee Brewers, owners of the best record in baseball, are on the road against the Cincinnati Reds, and a laugher there could mean a quiet night for the pen.
MLS The night's headliner is Nashville SC visiting New York City FC at Yankee Stadium, with Nashville's stingy defense and gaudy record making a road clean sheet a real possibility against a shakier NYC side. Elsewhere, Atlanta United's massive underdog trip to Inter Miami is the fixture to watch for goals, since oddsmakers expect Miami to pile them in behind a top-heavy roster. Also keep an eye on Vancouver hosting St. Louis, a match between two clubs chasing the same playoff positioning where a single sitter squandered could decide it late into stoppage time.
NCAA Football The marquee game is Clemson Tigers at LSU Tigers in Baton Rouge, a top-25 showdown where LSU is favored by 10 and needs to control time of possession against Clemson's defense to cover easily. Also circle Michigan Wolverines hosting Western Michigan and Miami Hurricanes traveling to Stanford Cardinal as a road favorite, but the smashmouth litmus test comes early in Norman when Oklahoma Sooners face UTEP with a 40.5-point spread that could turn into garbage-time stats by the third quarter. If you want a line-of-scrimmage clinic instead, Ohio State Buckeyes hosting Ball State at nearly 50 points favored is the game where the defense should bail out any sloppy red zone trips.
