Ohio State vs. Michigan tops this weekend's must-see games

Not sure how to spend your weekend? We have you covered! BetAmerica writers Jeremy Balan, Philip Marshall, Ryan Murphy and Thomas Tassone share their top picks for this weekend's must-see games and sporting events.

NCAAF: #1 Ohio State at #13 Michigan, Saturday, noon ET (FOX)

Jeremy: Of all the rivalry games this week, this one has the best shot to create maximum chaos. And I’m a big fan of chaos. Starting with a rout of Notre Dame in late October, Michigan has surged in the stretch run of the season, and nothing would be sweeter for the Wolverines than spoiling Ohio State’s College Football Playoff hopes (although the Buckeyes could get in even if they lose at the Big House). Ohio State didn’t look great in the second half against Penn State last week, so we’ll see how the Buckeyes’ high-powered offense looks against another quality defense. During Michigan’s current four-game win streak, the Wolverines have allowed an average of 11.25 points per game.

Soccer: Leicester vs. Everton 11:30 a.m. ET (NBC Sports Gold)

Philip: This is the standout match for me this weekend. Brendan Rodgers has Leicester playing very entertaining football with a 4-1-4-1 formation. As a soccer fan, I love watching James Maddison and Youri Tielemans work their magic in the attacking third while Wilfred Ndidi mops up behind. Everton, on the other hand, are in shambles. Last week’s woeful 2-0 loss to Norwich means the Merseysiders have suffered defeats in all three matches against promoted clubs this season. I wouldn't be surprised if manager Marco Silva gets sacked after a big loss in this game. I'm all-in on Leicester (-1) at +175.

NBA: Chicago Bulls vs. Portland Trail Blazers, Friday, 10 p.m. ET (NBC Sports Chicago)

Ryan: I'll be the first to admit that I thought the Trail Blazers were crazy to claim Carmelo Anthony from the NBA scrap heap, but the 35-year-old gunner has proven to be a surprisingly good fit in Portland. Melo is averaging 22 points over his last two games and is posting the highest effective field goal percentage of his 17-year career. I'll be tuning in on Friday night to watch as he slices and dices Chicago's paper-thin D.

NFL: San Francisco 49ers vs. Baltimore Ravens, Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (FOX)

Thomas: All eyes will be on San Francisco vs. Baltimore this Sunday as Nick Bosa and the 49ers prepare for battle against the Ravens' MVP frontrunner, Lamar Jackson. Look for Jackson to build on his five TD performance last weekend and continue to show why he’s the most dangerous QB in the NFL right now. However, this game won’t be a cakewalk. I expect the final score to be 31-28 with the ferocious 49ers keeping it close until the end and covering the +5.5 spread as road dogs. You don’t want to miss this potential Super Bowl LIV matchup!
