Sunday’s Desserts
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.
