Penn State vs Northwestern, 8:00 ET – FOX
Penn State was ranked 13th in the nation before last week, and now they aren’t ranked due to a loss at home to Wisconsin. Northwestern wasn’t ranked, and most fans and coaches probably didn’t pay attention to them this season. That is until last week when they gave Indiana all they could handle. They square off tonight with Penn State a -2.5 favorite.

Padres vs Brewers, 8:30 ET – FS1
The age-old question of rest vs. rust comes into play here as the Padres take on the rested Brewers. San Diego swept the Cubs in two games in the Wild Card round and has been the best team in baseball since around the All-Star Break. Can they ride the momentum against the best team in baseball (record-wise) from this year in the Brewers? Likely NL Cy Young Award winner, Jacob Misirowski, will start.

Dallas vs Houston, 1:00 ET – FOX
The Cowboys return home after a very frustrating Brazil game. They were on the brink of victory and collapsed. Houston has had a very tough season, losing all three of their games. They have the defense to win many games, and the offense has weapons, but they haven’t clicked yet. Dallas looks to avoid a 1-3 start, and Houston looks to pick up their first win of the season.
These, and so many other, games await you and your wagers this weekend. New users can earn up to $1,500 in bonus bets back from BetMGM when using promo code FOXNEWS this weekend.
