The morning line

EPL The marquee matchup is Arsenal visiting Nottingham Forest, with Arsenal still unbeaten this season and looking to keep a clean sheet against a struggling Forest side fighting to climb out of the bottom half. Don't sleep on Manchester United traveling to Leeds United, where Manchester United's rough patch makes them underdogs in what should be a scrappy affair. Crystal Palace at Brighton & Hove Albion rounds out the slate as a heavy favorite's chance to pad their unbeaten record, though a stubborn Palace defense could grind it out for a draw.

MLB The marquee matchup tonight is the Tampa Bay Rays visiting the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field, with the Rays riding a gaudy 98-64 record against the Guardians' 85-77 mark. Vegas has Tampa Bay as a slight favorite despite the road trip, so watch how the Guardians' bullpen handles the heart of the Rays' order late. There's actually a second listing for this same series showing a delay in the top of the first, so it's worth checking status before you settle in.

MLS The marquee matchup is Nashville SC traveling to face the San Jose Earthquakes, with Nashville sitting atop the table this season and the Earthquakes capable of pulling off a sitter of an upset if their defense can lock down a clean sheet. Elsewhere, Inter Miami CF visits Atlanta United FC as the modest betting favorite, and keep an eye on San Diego FC at LA Galaxy, a close-odds affair that could easily end nil-nil if neither side finds the net early. With a dozen-plus games on the slate tonight, expect plenty of late goals and some matches likely to go into stoppage time still up for grabs.

NCAA Football The marquee game is Alabama Crimson Tide at Tennessee Volunteers, and Tennessee is riding a 26-10 lead late in the fourth quarter after the defense bailed them out all night against an Alabama offense that just couldn't move the ball. Later, don't miss Notre Dame Fighting Irish at BYU Cougars, a battle of unbeaten-ish powers where Notre Dame is favored on the road, and Utah Utes at Colorado Buffaloes, where Utah's undefeated season covers easily if their ground game controls time of possession. Keep an eye on Oklahoma State Cowboys at Houston Cougars too, a shootout on paper with that 62.5 over looking live in the red zone all game long.

NFL The marquee matchup is the Chargers heading into Arrowhead to face the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs, who are trying to stay perfect while Los Angeles looks to avoid a sixth straight loss. Earlier in the window, keep an eye on Buffalo at Las Vegas, where the Bills are favored but the Raiders have been competitive enough to keep it from turning into garbage-time stats. The Sunday night game between Dallas and Green Bay is nearly a pick'em, and with the total set near 53.5, this one could come down to who controls time of possession in the fourth quarter rather than either side covering easily.

NHL The marquee matchup is already underway as the Seattle Kraken, one of the league's hottest starts, visit the Florida Panthers, who jumped out to a 3-1 lead after the first period on their home ice. Elsewhere, keep an eye on Boston heading to Los Angeles and Edmonton visiting Utah, both tests for teams with strong early records against struggling hosts. If either power play finds the back of the net from the slot or a goalie gets pulled late for the extra attacker, that's the kind of moment worth bringing up tomorrow.
