Will Urban Meyer ever lose a game as Ohio State’s coach? Well, not this week.

Alabama at Auburn, Ch. 5, 1:30 p.m.

The Iron Bowl will decide the SEC West Division title.

Alabama’s unbeaten season is on the line.

Crimson Tide quarterbac­k A.J. McCarron’s Heisman Trophy candidacy is in play.

And at 10-1 Auburn will enter the national championsh­ip discussion with an upset.

Does it get better than this?

Texas A&M at Missouri, ESPN, 5:45 p.m.

The Tigers can clinch the SEC East title and a spot opposite the Iron Bowl winner in the SEC Championsh­ip Game.

But Johnny Football will be looking to revive

Cardinals at Eagles, Ch. 10, 11 a.m.

This is a matchup of two of the hotter teams in the NFC. The Cardinals have won four in a row. The Eagles have won three straight.

And Cardinals quarterbac­k Carson Palmer has been on fire like one of those “Hunger Games” contestant­s since rolling out that handlebar mustache. Is #StacheTag trending yet?

Broncos at Chiefs, Ch. 5, 2:25 p.m.

The Broncos will change their pants after wetting them Sunday night, and then hope to man up against the Chiefs.

Giants at Redskins, Ch. 12, 6:30 p.m.

Geez, isn’t there anything good on this week- end? Maybe it’s time to take one more look in the refrigerat­or and then take a nap.

The Monday Hangover

Saints at Seahawks, ESPN, 6:40 p.m.

NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” has surpassed ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” when it comes to prime-time pigskin pickings overall, but this week’s game is much tastier than that GiantsReds­kins game on Sunday night.

The Seahawks defense, featuring one of the NFL’s better secondarie­s and with a week off to prepare for the Saints and quarterbac­k Drew Brees? Oh, that’s tasty.
