Details: Monday, September 2 @ 1:30 PM ET - TPC Boston - Norton, MA
Watch Here: NBC on XFINITY
Why Watch: The FedEx Cup playoffs have the PGA’s biggest payout, so there’s a lot at stake in Monday’s final round. As we’ve seen over the weekend, TPC Boston is a course that favors players who can bomb their drives. Look for those who are long and accurate off the tee to be in contention Monday.

2. Edmonton Eskimos vs. Calgary Stampeders
Details: Monday, September 2 @ 5:00 PM ET - McMahon Stadium - Calgary, AB, CA
Watch Here: NBCSN with XFINITY
Why Watch: One of the CFL’s biggest and best rivalries takes the field in the Labour Day Classic, Monday evening. This game is all about offense: the Eskimos air attack is the best in the league and the Stampeders stable of running backs are almost as hard to stop. The CFL’s leading receiver, Eskimo, Fred Stamps (684 rec. yards), is a speedy guy who will be a difference maker. But, ironically, Calgary’s running back Jon Cornish, just may be their best defense. Find out Monday if the Stampeders will control the clock by establishing the run or if Edmonton can pass their way to victory.

3. Florida State at Pittsburgh (NCAA Football)
Details: Monday, September 2 @ 8:00 PM ET - Heinz Field - Pittsburgh, PA
Watch Here: ESPN on XFINITY
Why Watch: Monday Night Football comes to campus as the Seminoles and Panthers kickoff at Heinz Field. In their first game in the ACC, the Panthers play host to the reigning conference champion Seminoles. Florida State brings a roster full of NFL type talent to the 2013 CFB season and a national championship caliber team. But, the Panthers’ senior quarterback, Tom Savage, will look to lead his team to their first ever ACC victory Monday night. Remember, a first impression is the longest lasting - will Pitts’ ACC intro be one to remember?
