The No. 7 North Carolina women will face No. 19 Michigan in the inaugural Jumpman Invitational in Charlotte. Tuesday’s showdown marks only the second meeting between the programs, with the first coming in 1987. The Tar Heels and Wolverines each head into the matchup with just one loss, with both teams surging to promising starts to the 2022–23 campaign.

The Chargers will host the Titans Sunday in a must-win matchup for both teams, with Tennessee and Los Angeles hoping to boost their postseason chances. Anxious to halt their three-game losing streak, the Titans need a result against the Chargers to hold off a surging Jaguars side in the AFC South. The Chargers, conversely, enter Sunday’s head-to-head on the heels of a critical win over the Dolphins and will look to ride their newfound momentum to a victory.

Tickets for Sunday’s game are available for $25, far less than this week’s average NFL ticket price of $282.87

Bowl season is here, with riveting matchups taking place across the nation as the college football campaign comes to a close. The Las Vegas Bowl should not disappoint, with Oregon State looking to build on its late-season win streak and take out a diminished Florida squad. With QB Anthony Richardson going pro and backup Jalen Kitna dismissed from the team due to child pornography charges, Jack Miller III will have to step up for the Gators.

Fans can take in the Sin City extravaganza for under $30, well under the week’s average college football ticket price of $78.96.
