THIS WEEK IN SPORTS: OCT 31ST – NOV 6TH

The week commences with Halloween, so expect scary outcomes across the sporting world. The World Series moves to Philly tied at 1 game a piece. The NFL progresses to the midway point of the regular season in Week 9. To add excitement to the weekend, there are two monumental matchups in the SEC as well as MACtion starting Tuesday. All eyes in the college football world will be focused on ESPN Tuesday night as the initial College Football Playoff Rankings are released. Oh yeah, we also have college football or NFL every day for the next 20 plus days.

The NBA and NHL are now in full swing with nightly action across the country. College basketball teams enter their final week of practice before the season tips off on November 8th. The UEFA Champions League group play enters the final frame, returning after the World Cup break with the Round of 16. We will also see European domestic leagues in action as they also draw near their mid season pause for the World Cup.
