1. Oakland Raiders vs. Denver Broncos
Details: Monday, September 23 @ 8:30 PM ET - Sports Authority Field at Mile High - Denver, CO
Watch Here: ESPN on XFINITY
Why Watch: The Denver Broncos have Super Bowl aspirations this season but will have to face an aggressive Oakland Raiders team who’s ready to derail their early season success. Oakland’s starting quarterback, Terrell Pryor, has blazing speed that makes him a headache for any opposing defense. Peyton Manning is as good as they come, but with his starting LT, Ryan Clady, out for the year (foot injury) he could see more pressure than he’s used to. Will the Raiders win their first road game of the season, or will the Broncos extend their unblemished record to 3-0 Monday night?

2. Phoenix Mercury vs. Los Angeles Sparks
Details: Monday, September 23 @ 10:00 PM ET - Staples Center - Los Angeles, CA
Watch Here: ESPN2 on XFINITY
Why Watch: The deciding game in the series tips off in LA Monday night, as the winner books their ticket for the WNBA Western Conference Finals. The Mercury won the opening game of the series in LA (86-75) but the Sparks returned the favor, with a road win in Phoenix (82-73). Can WNBA MVP, Candace Parker, lead the Sparks to a victory, or will we see the Mercury continue the trend of visitor victories in this decisive game three?

For Navy, this will be the third and final leg of a road trip, where the team will look to break even (currently 1-2).
