Details: Wednesday, October 9 @ 7:30 PM ET - Rec Hall - University Park, PA

Why Watch: #B1GVolleyball has two of it’s best on primetime Wednesday night as No. 4 Penn State hosts No. 11 Minnesota. Both teams have stellar records at 15-2, and All-American players on the floor (Penn State’s Ariel Scott and Micha Hancock and Minnesota’s Tori Dixon).

2. Chicago Blackhawks vs. St. Louis Blues

Details: Wednesday, October 9 @ 8:00 PM ET - Scottrade Center - St. Louis, MO

Why Watch: It’s #RivalryNight on NBSN and the Blackhawks and Blues are set to take the ice for their first of five meetings this season. It’s early in the year, but the Blues are dominating the puck and the Hawks look like they’re still knocking off some offseason rust. The Blues have a goal differential of 11/2 and have a brick wall blocking the net in goalies Halak and Elliott, while the Hawks have the snipers capable of scoring. (Toews, Kane) The Blackhawks will be put to the test in their first road game of the season vs. the St.Louis Blues, Wednesday night on the #NHLonNBC.

Why Watch: 2013’s opener for the Fall Series of the PGA Tour has a big bonus, the winner will be awarded a Masters birth for the first time ever! Everyone’s favorite fairway bomber Angel Cabrera, this summer’s constant contender Billy Horschel, and defending champion Jonas Blixt will be the highlights of the field during the Frys.com Open.

4. Rutgers vs. Louisville

Details: Thursday, October 10 @ 7:30 PM ET - Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium - Louisville, KY

Why Watch: This week in primetime Teddy Bridgewater will look to build his resume for his 2013 Heisman campaign, as college football takes over on Thursday night. Bridgewater has looked strong so far this season with 1,562 passing yards and 16 TDs, but he’ll be challenged by a strong Scarlet Knight defense. Rutgers is red hot, winning their last four games and averaging 40 ppg. Thursday’s biggest question: which will break first, the Rutgers high-powered offense or the Louisville stonewall defense (allowing 9 ppg)?

5. Minnesota Lynx vs. Atlanta Dream

Details: Thursday, October 10 @ 8:30 PM ET - The Arena at Gwinnett Center - Duluth, GA

Why Watch: Game 3 of the #WNBAFinals returns to the ATL, as the Dream are looking to regain their ground and keep their title aspirations alive in front of a home crowd. The Minnesota Lynx are snowballing through the playoffs, and might be bringing the brooms to Atlanta for a sweep. The Dream has a 4-13 road record this season, but are a different team at home going 16-4. Is the combination of Maya Moore and Seimone Augustus too much for the Dream or will it be home be just peachy for these Georgia girls?
