1. AC Milan vs. AS Roma
Details: Monday, December 16 @ 2:45 PM ET - San Siro Stadium - San Siro, Italy
Watch Here: beIN Sport on XFINITY
Why Watch: When Mario Balotelli and Kaka step on the field, it is must watch/must stream TV! Balotelli is the poster boy, but Kaka has been Milan's best player this season. However, Roma has plenty of ammunition to fire at their opponents, and Francesco Totti will look to be on target Monday vs. their Serie A rival. The Roma captain is back from injury and fit to go, which spells trouble for the star-studded visitors, Milan. Look for a classic in Serie A as these two clubs will put on quite a performance on beIN Sport.

2. Baltimore Ravens vs. Detroit Lions
Details: Monday, December 16 @ 8:30 PM ET - Ford Field - Detroit, MI
Watch Here: ESPN on XFINITY
Why Watch: The Ravens and Lions are on the outside of the playoff standings and will be fighting to get in Monday night. Both teams have a 7-6 record, tough defenses, and play makers on the offensive side of the ball. The Motown faithful will be ready to see what Calvin 'Megatron' Johnson brings to the field, as Ravens rookie safety Matt Elam called out the best WR in the NFL! Elam said, "He's pretty old, so I don't know how physical he'll be. He's a big guy, but he's older." Let's see how old the record setting receiver looks when he lines up against Elam and the Ravens defense on #MNF!

3. Pittsburgh vs. Cincinnati
Details: Tuesday, December 16 @ 7:00 PM ET - Madison Square Garden - New York, NY
Watch Here: ESPN on XFINITY
Why Watch: Two great teams playing for an even better cause - this is the #JimmyVClassic! Tuesday's tip will be a homecoming for the Bearcats senior guard, Sean Kilpatrick, from Yonkers. Kilpatrick leads Cincy in ppg (19.3), asst (3.0), and will look to put up even bigger numbers in The Mecca of basketball - The Garden! Can Kilpatrick claim the crown in NYC against PITT senior standout, Lamar Patterson? Patterson is every bit of his opponent's equal, with a slight height/weight advantage. Keep an eye on the senior showdown in the top game of the Jimmy V Classic Tuesday night.

4. Washington Capitals vs. Philadelphia Flyers
Details: Tuesday, December 17 @ 7:30 PM ET - Wells Fargo Center - Philadelphia, PA
Watch Here: NBCSN on XFINITY
Why Watch: These two took the ice just 48 hours prior for a thriller that ended in a shoot out victory for the Caps, but that was in D.C. The Flyers will be on home ice, where they've won six straight, and will be ready to avenge their hard-fought loss. If they plan on making it seven straight, they've have to try and slow the league's reigning MVP - Alexander Ovechkin. Ovi scored two goals on Sunday, but so did the Flyers' Claude Giroux. Will Philly find a way to make it to lucky number seven on home ice or will the Caps continue their winning ways on the road? Tweet me who you think will get the W Tuesday night.

Watch Here: ESPN on XFINITY
Why Watch: The Jimmy V Classic’s finale is the best basketball on TV Tuesday night as a red-hot Florida Gator team lines up against an equally impressive Memphis Tigers squad. Both have knocked off top tier teams, Memphis beating Oklahoma State and Florida beating Kansas, but both pride themselves on opposite sides of the ball.
