Sandwiched between the final week of the NFL regular season and the usual Tuesday of hoops, soccer and swimming is a national college football championship with a bit of local flavor. A trio of area players will be on the field at SoFi Stadium looking for a chance to partake in glory.
Sunday: The Texans end their 2022 season with a road trip to the Colts beginning at 12:00pm. A loss by Houston would assure the franchise of having the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. KHOU11 will have the game live.
Cowboys fans can see if they can somehow pull off gaining the top seed in the NFC when they take on a host Commanders team that is also fighting for a playoff spot. KRIV26 will have the game at 3:25pm.
As an added bonus, the Rockets will be in action when they host the Timberwolves at 6:00pm. AT&T Sportsnet Southwest will have the game live beginning with the pregame show at 5:30pm.
Monday: There’s extra reason to watch TCU and Georgia compete for the college football national title at 7:30pm (ESPN).
