1. U.S. Men’s National Team vs. Jamaica

Details: Friday, October 11 @ 6:30 PM ET - Sporting Park - Kansas City, KA

Watch Here: ESPN on XFINITY

Why Watch: With only two more qualifying games prior to the World Cup in Brazil next year, the #USMNT will look to become even more dominant and cohesive than ever before. While the team has already qualified to travel to Brazil, the teams leaders, Landon Donovan and Jozy Altidore, will be nothing but competitive with the Jamaican and Panamanian squads. Both of the US’ upcoming matches could be make-or-break it for their opponents, so don’t expect them to let the U.S. march in and steal the show. Don’t miss our nation’s quest to conquer the CONCACAF Hexagonal, Friday night on ESPN.

2. Missouri Tigers vs. Georgia Bulldogs

Details: Saturday, October 12 @ 12:00 PM ET - Sanford Stadium - Athens, GA

Watch Here: ESPN on XFINITY

Why Watch: The fans of the No. 25 Mizzou Tigers will be looking for a big upset this weekend as their team heads east to do battle in Sanford Stadium. But, it will not come that easy. Missouri brings an air raid attack to the field, averaging 46 ppg behind the arm of QB Jonathan Franklin. Meanwhile, The No. 7 Georgia Bulldog team is relentless, led by their four-year starting quarterback Aaron Murray. There is no denying that the Dawgs have something special this year, but with multiple starters out on offense we could see a dip in their performance. Tune in to this Top 25 matchup Saturday afternoon. .

3. Stanford Cardinals vs. Utah Utes

Details: Saturday, October 12 @ 6:00 PM ET - Rice Eccles Stadium - Salt Lake City, UT

Watch Here: Pac-12 Network on XFINITY

Why Watch: Stanford is rolling this year and looking to go 6-0 for the first time since 2011, while the Utes have a chance at shocking the college football world with their ground game. If the Utes’ sophomore tailback James Poole (5.2 yards per carry) can get going, anything can happen. However, the Cardinal defense is stingy and isn’t likely to allow many points. Get ready for a Pac snack Saturday night, as these two programs face-off for the first time since ‘96.

4. Texas A&M Aggies vs. Ole Miss Rebels

Details: Saturday, October 12 @ 8:30 PM ET - Vaught Hemingway Stadium - Oxford, MS

Watch Here: ESPN on XFINITY

Why Watch: The SEC West kicks off on Saturday night, on the campus of Old Miss. Reigning Heisman trophy winner, Jonny “Football” Manziel and his Aggies will be out their eighth straight road win Saturday night. The Rebs are looking to get their groove back, after two losses to division opponents (Alabama and Auburn). This one came down to the final seconds last season and has all the ingredients for a good, old fashioned shoot out on Saturday night. Make sure to tune in on ESPN for a big game under the lights of Oxford.

5. Washington Redskins vs. Dallas Cowboys

Details: Sunday, October 14 @ 8:30 PM ET - AT&T Stadium - Arlington, TX

Watch Here: NBC with XFINITY

Why Watch: The NFC East is up for grabs on Sunday Night Football as Washington has gone down south for a ballgame with the Cowboys. Dez Bryant is emerging as the top receiver in the NFL and has lit up the Skins secondary averaging 5+ catches and 80 ypg with 4 TDs. But, the Redskins are coming off a bye week and that time to game plan could shine through on Sunday. The Skins have an offensive ace up their sleeve, and his name is Alfred Morris. ‘Alf’ ran for 313 yards and four TDs in two games last year versus the ‘Boys! So will it be the passing game or the run game to win out on #SNF? Make sure you’re tuned in as they kickoff in Arlington.

#5ToFollow Insider: SNF on NBC - @SNFonNBC
