The Last Night's Game Team
College Football
College football saved the best for last with the two college football playoff games on New Year's Eve. Michigan will take on TCU in the early game, and Georgia will play Ohio State to wrap up 2022. The winner of the games will advance to the national championship game on Monday, January 9.
Due to demand, the Peach Bowl has added standing-room-only seats for the college football playoff game between Ohio State and Georgia. The game will outdraw the Super Bowl when it was held at the same stadium.

Global soccer icon, Pelé, passed away yesterday at the age of 82. He is the only man to win the World Cup three times.

Derek Carr (Raiders) is benched for performance reasons, and Tua Tagovailoa (Dolphins) is out for concussion protocol.
