Happy Black Friday! We hope your Thanksgiving was full of great food and even better company. As we transition from pumpkin pie to Black Friday deals, we’re diving into a packed sports weekend full of fierce rivalries, freezing weather and some seriously high stakes. (We see you ASU). Here's what you need to know to dominate this weekend's small talk.
NFL Black Friday Game: Raiders vs. Chiefs
For the second time, the NFL (National Football League) has given us a Black Friday game on Amazon Prime. The Raiders are looking for a repeat of last year’s Christmas miracle when they beat the Chiefs in Kansas City. Can they pull it off again? With the Chiefs sitting at 10-1 this season, a Raiders win would be the Black Friday shocker we didn’t see coming.
College Football Rivalry Weekend
It’s the final weekend of the regular college football season, and rivalry games are the highlight. Here are the matchups you can’t miss:
Texas vs. Texas A&M
For the first time in 13 years, these two bitter rivals are back on the field. Dating back to 1894, this feud has history, drama and a $1,072 average ticket price—making it the priciest college football game ever. Yes, it's even more expensive than any NFL regular season game in history.Michigan vs. Ohio State
Michigan is fighting for redemption in what’s been a tough season while eyeing its fourth consecutive win in this historic rivalry against Ohio State.Nebraska vs. Iowa
Bundle up! This game will be played in freezing temperatures, with wind chills in the teens—the coldest Iowa City game since 2013.Arizona vs. Arizona State
Arizona State stunned everyone this season and has a shot at the Big 12 title game if they win. Kudos to Coach Kenny Dillingham, who celebrated a nine-win season by sharing his $200,000 bonus with 20 off-field staffers. That’s the kind of leadership we love to see.
Sunday NFL Showdown: Bills vs. 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers (NFL) are clinging to playoff hopes, but they’ll face brutal Buffalo weather on Sunday. These Californians better pack their snow boots with heavy snow in the forecast. Meanwhile, Buffalo fans will feel at home as they hope for a key win.
Bundle Up and Tune In!
Whether braving the Black Friday crowds or staying cozy on the couch, this weekend’s sports lineup has something for everyone. There’s no shortage of action, from epic rivalries to snowy showdowns. Catch all the latest updates on Last Night’s Game and follow us on social for more. Happy weekend!
