The NFL is full of surprises. Who had the 49ers, Bills and Lions as good teams? Or the Eagles, Jets and Colts as bad ones?

Thursday, Oct. 13
College Football (8-11 p.m. ESPN), University of Southern California travels to the University of California in a big PAC-12 showdown. The Trojans can't win their division or go bowling, but the Bears can do both.

Friday, Oct. 14
College Football (8-11 p.m. ESPN), Hawaii plays San Jose State. ... Look for an MLB playoff game if the series goes more than four games.

Saturday, Oct. 15
College Football (7-10 p.m. CBS Sports Network), Southern Miss goes for its sixth win to become the first bowl-eligible team in the state when Southern Methodist University comes to Hattiesburg.

Sunday, Oct. 16
NFL (3-6 p.m. Fox), New Orleans travels for the third week in a row and faces its second division opponent on the road when the Saints take on Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers proved they only beat bad teams after their blowout loss to the 49ers.

Monday, Oct. 17
NFL (7:30-11 p.m. ESPN), The Miami Dolphins travel to New York to take on the Jets in a game where both teams desperately need a win.

Tuesday, Oct. 18

Wednesday, Oct. 19
MLB (time to be announced, Fox), The World Series starts today, meaning that baseball is four to seven games from being over for the year.

College football is entering its make or break point. Teams are fighting for championships—and bowl survival.

The curse is back on the Saints. They will make many great starts with WindBrees at the helm but will falter down the stretch. Take the Cowboys for instance they're cursed too. They won't accept it and instead blames Romo and Jones, but he fact of the matter is they are cursed. If you want to see some good football you should venture up north to Pittsburgh. How about them Steelers?

I agree with you Walt. The Cowboys are cursed. Jerry sold his soul to the devil for that stadium that we continue to lose in.
