Texans vs. Titans tops this weekend's list of must-see games

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

NFL: Houston Texans at Tennessee Titans, Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET (CBS)

Ashley: How many people predicted the AFC South to come down to either the Texans or Titans? Both stand atop the division at 8-5 and face each other twice—on Sunday and in Week 17. Ryan Tannehill’s emergence as the starting quarterback for Tennessee has transformed the team, and I find myself pulling for the Titans to not only earn a wild-card spot, but possibly sneak into the divisional round of the playoffs.

NCAAF: Army at #23 Navy, Saturday, 3:00 p.m. ET (CBSA)

Jeremy: A couple months ago I tweeted, “If you don’t love a perfectly executed triple-option, we can’t be friends.” That was a bit of hyperbole, of course, but I had just watched Air Force run out the last 11:14 of game time in its final drive against Fresno State, and it was a thing of beauty. Maybe it’s from my years covering prep football, or maybe it’s the novelty of the scheme in the age of spread, throw-it-all-over-the-field football, but I’ll watch service-academy ball any day of the week. The premier matchup in the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy series (Air Force, Army and Navy) comes this weekend, as Army and Navy will face off for the 120th time and have the Saturday schedule all to themselves. Army has won the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy the last two years, but even though the Black Knights lost to Air Force earlier this season, they can retain the trophy with a win (when none of the three teams wins two games, the previous winner keeps the trophy). Navy can take home the trophy with a win (and also end a three-game losing streak to Army), because the Midshipmen defeated Air Force in October. Sit back and enjoy the pageantry and assignment football. Remember, you have to stop the dive first!

EPL: Arsenal at Manchester City, Sunday, 11:30am ET (NBCSN)

Philip: Arsenal and Manchester City head into Sunday's match on the back of contrasting results. Man City lost the Manchester Derby last weekend, while Arsenal won for the first time in nine games against West Ham. City have only two wins from their last seven games, and if they are to bounce back, this is the game to do so. I believe City have much more talent than the Gunners, and I'm predicting they keep a clean sheet, currently priced at (+185).

NBA: Indiana Pacers at Atlanta Hawks, Friday, 7:30 p.m. ET (NBA League Pass)

Ryan: Is there a more entertaining player in the NBA right now than Trae Young? Don't even bother to respond because the answer is an obvious, and emphatic, no. Atlanta’s crafty point guard has emerged as the most electrifying scorer in the NBA in just his second season. Need a deep three from 35 feet out? Young can do that. Want to see a defender put on skates? Young has you covered. The feisty 21-year-old is averaging 27.9 points and 8.6 assists per game and looks every bit like Steph Curry’s heir apparent. I’ll be tuning in Friday night to watch him work and strongly suggest you do the same.
