Thursday Night Football Week 11 2025
2025-11-13 20:15 - 22:30 (America/Toronto) | Gillette Stadium, 1 Patriot Pl, Foxborough, MA, United States
Thursday Night Football Week 11 2025
The New England Patriots (8-2) will look to extend their impressive seven-game winning streak when they host the New York Jets (2-7) in a Thursday Night Football AFC East divisional matchup at Gillette Stadium on November 13, 2025.
Patriots Resurgence
What a difference a year makes. After finishing 4-13 last season and firing first-year head coach Jerod Mayo, the Patriots hired former Tennessee Titans head coach and Super Bowl champion Mike Vrabel to lead the franchise. The results have been nothing short of remarkable.
The Patriots currently sit atop the AFC East with an 8-2 record, tied for the best mark in the NFL. They’ve doubled their win total from last season in just ten weeks and haven’t lost since mid-September.
Second-year quarterback Drake Maye, the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, has been the catalyst for New England’s offensive resurgence. Maye has thrown for 2,555 yards with 19 touchdowns against just five interceptions this season. His stellar play has vaulted him to the front of the MVP race, where he’s currently listed as the favorite at +275 odds.
“Drake Maye is playing at a very, very high level,” Jets head coach Aaron Glenn noted this week.
Jets Fighting for Relevance
Meanwhile, the Jets have struggled to find consistency this season, but they enter Thursday’s game with some positive momentum after securing back-to-back victories. At 2-7, New York sits at the bottom of the AFC East, ahead of only the Tennessee Titans (1-8) in the conference standings.
Quarterback Justin Fields has shown flashes of potential, throwing for 1,143 yards with six touchdowns and just one interception while adding 316 yards on the ground. However, the Jets offense ranks among the league’s worst, averaging just 19.5 points per game.
## Key Matchup: Patriots Run Defense vs. Jets Ground Attack
New England boasts the NFL’s top-ranked run defense, allowing just 79.2 yards per game on the ground and only three rushing touchdowns all season. They’ve yet to allow a single rusher to exceed 50 yards in a game.
The Jets’ offense is heavily dependent on the run, averaging 141.8 yards per game. Running back Breece Hall will need a strong performance for New York to have any chance at pulling off the upset.
Injury Concerns
Both teams are dealing with significant injury concerns heading into the short week.
The Jets may be without their top receiver, Garrett Wilson, who is listed as doubtful with a knee injury. Several defensive players are also questionable, including DE Will McDonald IV and CB Azareye’h Thomas.
For New England, both running backs Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) and rookie TreVeyon Henderson (knee) are questionable, as is top pass rusher K’Lavon Chaisson, who leads the team with 6.5 sacks this season.
Historical Context
This rivalry has been dominated by New England historically, though the dynamic has shifted over recent seasons with quarterback changes on both sides. The Patriots have won their last three games against AFC East opponents, suggesting they’re regaining their divisional supremacy under Vrabel’s leadership.
With the Patriots as 7-point favorites, they’ll look to continue their remarkable turnaround season while the Jets hope to build on their recent success and play spoiler to their division rivals.

Monday Night Football Week 11
2025-11-17 20:15 - 22:30 | Allegiant Stadium, 3333 Al Davis Way, Las Vegas, NV, 89118, United States
Monday Night Football Week 11: Cowboys Face Raiders in Las Vegas
The bright lights of Las Vegas will shine on an intriguing Monday Night Football matchup on November 17, 2025, as the Dallas Cowboys (3-5-1) travel to face the Las Vegas Raiders (2-7) in a cross-conference battle between two struggling historic franchises.
Season in Perspective
The Dallas Cowboys have fallen short of lofty preseason expectations, currently sitting in second place in the NFC East behind the Philadelphia Eagles (7-2). After starting the season with playoff aspirations, Dallas has stumbled to a 3-5-1 record, including losses in their last two contests. Despite their disappointing record, the Cowboys remain mathematically alive in the playoff race with eight games remaining.
The Las Vegas Raiders have endured an even more challenging campaign, currently occupying the basement of the highly competitive AFC West with a 2-7 record. Denver leads the division at 8-2, followed by the Chargers (7-3) and Chiefs (5-4), leaving the Raiders looking toward the future as they ride a three-game losing streak.
Stars to Watch
Dallas continues to feature one of the league’s most explosive offenses, led by quarterback Dak Prescott, who has thrown for 2,319 yards with 17 touchdowns against 6 interceptions through nine games. The Cowboys’ offense features multiple weapons, including running back Javonte Williams (716 rushing yards, 8 TDs) and a talented receiving corps headlined by George Pickens (49 catches, 764 yards, 6 TDs) and CeeDee Lamb (35 catches, 491 yards). Tight end Jake Ferguson has emerged as a reliable red zone target with 6 touchdowns on 56 receptions.
For the Raiders, rookie sensation Ashton Jeanty has been a bright spot in a difficult season, scoring 7 total touchdowns and providing a spark to the offense. Tight end Brock Bowers, the second-year standout from Georgia, has recorded 3 touchdowns in six appearances, while speedy receiver Tre Tucker has found the end zone four times.
Historical Context
This matchup carries historical significance dating back to their memorable battles in the 1970s when the Raiders, then in Oakland, developed an intense rivalry with Tom Landry’s Cowboys. While the stakes aren’t as high in 2025, both storied franchises are desperate to change their fortunes.
Game Implications
For Dallas, this represents a must-win scenario to keep dwindling playoff hopes alive. The Cowboys have struggled on the road this season with a 1-4 record away from AT&T Stadium, making this trip to Allegiant Stadium particularly challenging.
The Raiders, while likely out of playoff contention, have an opportunity to evaluate talent for the future while playing the role of spoiler against a high-profile opponent on national television.
With both teams fighting to salvage their seasons, this Monday Night Football showdown promises competitive action as pride and professional futures hang in the balance under the bright lights of Las Vegas.

Windsor Spitfires Annual Teddy Bear Toss Game
2025-11-23 16:05 - 18:30 | WFCU Centre, 8787 McHugh St, Windsor, Ontario, N8S 0A1, Canada
Windsor Spitfires Annual Teddy Bear Toss Game
The Windsor Spitfires are excited to host our annual Teddy Bear Toss game on Sunday, November 23, a cherished holiday tradition that brings together hockey fans, community spirit, and charitable giving.
Last year’s event was a tremendous success: the community donated 3,954 stuffed animals, which were distributed to local children via Sparky’s Toy Drive.
What Is the Teddy Bear Toss?
Fans are encouraged to bring a new stuffed animal (teddy bear or other plush toy) to the game. When the home team scores its first goal, fans launch their bears onto the ice in a jubilant, feel-good moment. After the goal, volunteers and staff collect the toys, which are then donated to children’s charities, hospitals, and local social-service organizations.
Goal of the Toss: This year, the team hopes to raise over 4,000 stuffed animals and increase community impact.
Tickets: can be purchased here.

2025-12-04 20:15 - 22:30 | Ford Field, Detroit, MI
Thursday Night Football Week 14 2025: Lions Host Cowboys in Pivotal December Clash
The NFL’s Thursday Night Football spotlight turns to Ford Field on December 4, 2025, as the Detroit Lions (7-5) welcome the Dallas Cowboys (6-5-1) for what promises to be a high-scoring affair with significant playoff implications for both franchises.
Current Standings and Momentum
The Lions currently sit third in the NFC North, but their 7-5 record has them positioned as the 8th seed in the conference playoff picture. Coach Dan Campbell’s squad has been particularly strong at home this season, boasting a 4-2 record at Ford Field.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys occupy second place in the NFC East behind the Philadelphia Eagles (8-4-0) and currently hold the 9th seed in the conference standings. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer’s team has struggled on the road this season, managing just a 2-4 record away from AT&T Stadium.
Offensive Firepower
This matchup features two of the league’s most potent passing attacks. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has thrown for 3,261 yards with an impressive 25 touchdowns against just 8 interceptions. His counterpart, Lions signal-caller Jared Goff, has amassed 3,025 passing yards with an identical 25 touchdown passes while limiting himself to only 5 interceptions.
The ground game favors Detroit, with second-year sensation Jahmyr Gibbs having already eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark (1,019) while scoring 10 touchdowns. Dallas counters with Javonte Williams, who has accumulated 955 rushing yards and 8 scores.
In the receiving department, Dallas features George Pickens (1,142 yards, 8 TDs) while Detroit relies on All-Pro Amon-Ra St. Brown (884 yards, 9 TDs).
Defensive Standouts
The Lions’ defense is anchored by star edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson, who has recorded 8.5 sacks this season. For Dallas, James Houston has contributed 4.5 sacks but is currently listed as questionable with a foot injury.
Injury Concerns
Both teams enter with several key players listed as questionable. The Cowboys are monitoring safety Malik Hooker (back), safety Donovan Wilson (neck), defensive end James Houston (foot), defensive end Dante Fowler Jr. (shoulder), and offensive tackle Hakeem Adeniji (knee).
Detroit has its own injury concerns with offensive tackle Taylor Decker (shoulder), center Graham Glasgow (knee), tight end Shane Zylstra (knee), and running back Sione Vaki (thumb) all appearing on this week’s injury report.
Historical Context
This matchup carries extra significance given the recent competitive history between these storied franchises. Both teams have been playoff contenders in recent seasons, and this December showdown could have major implications for postseason seeding.
Game Details
The betting line favors the Lions by 3 points, with oddsmakers expecting a high-scoring affair as evidenced by the 53.5 point over/under. ESPN Analytics gives Detroit a significant edge, projecting a 61.8% chance of victory compared to Dallas’ 37.9% win probability.
Kickoff is set for 8:15 PM EST from Ford Field, with the game broadcast exclusively on Prime Video. Weather won’t be a factor inside Detroit’s domed stadium, creating ideal conditions for what should be an entertaining shootout between two NFC playoff hopefuls.

2025-12-08 20:30 - 23:00 | SoFi Stadium, 1000 S Prairie Ave, Inglewood, CA, 90301, United States
Monday Night Football Week 14 2025: Eagles and Chargers Clash in Critical December Battle
The NFL’s Week 14 Monday Night Football spotlight shines on a pivotal cross-conference clash as the Philadelphia Eagles (8-4) travel to SoFi Stadium to face the Los Angeles Chargers (8-4) on December 8, 2025. Both playoff contenders find themselves at identical records as the postseason race intensifies, making this prime-time matchup particularly significant.
Current Standings and Season Context
The Eagles currently lead the NFC East, holding a narrow advantage over the Dallas Cowboys (6-5-1) in what has been a competitive division race. Despite losing two consecutive games to Chicago and Dallas, Philadelphia remains in position to secure a playoff berth if they can regain their midseason form.
Meanwhile, the Chargers are enjoying a resurgent 2025 campaign under their coaching staff, sitting second in the AFC West behind the Denver Broncos (10-2). Los Angeles has been perfect in divisional play (4-0) and boasts an impressive 7-2 record against conference opponents, positioning them strongly in the AFC wild card race.
Key Players to Watch
The quarterback matchup features two of the league’s elite talents. Philadelphia’s Jalen Hurts has accumulated 2,514 passing yards with an efficient 19 touchdowns against just 2 interceptions. His counterpart, Justin Herbert, has thrown for 2,842 yards with 21 touchdowns, though his 10 interceptions show occasional vulnerability. Herbert’s status bears monitoring as he’s listed as questionable with a hand injury.
In the backfield, the Eagles feature former All-Pro Saquon Barkley, who has rushed for 740 yards and 4 touchdowns. The Chargers counter with rookie sensation Kimani Vidal, who has accumulated 543 yards and 3 scores on the ground.
The receiving corps for both teams includes standouts DeVonta Smith (802 yards, 3 TDs) for the Eagles and Ladd McConkey (683 yards, 5 TDs) for the Chargers.
Historical Context
Monday’s contest marks the 14th regular-season meeting between these franchises, with the Chargers holding an 8-5 all-time advantage. Los Angeles has been particularly successful at home, posting a 5-2 record against Philadelphia when playing as the host team.
Their last encounter came in 2021, resulting in a dramatic Chargers victory secured by a last-second field goal after Herbert delivered a masterful performance.
Recent Form
The Eagles enter this matchup seeking to snap a two-game losing streak after falling to Chicago (24-15) and Dallas (24-21) in consecutive weeks. The Chargers, meanwhile, rebounded from a disappointing 35-6 loss to Jacksonville with an emphatic 31-14 victory over Las Vegas in Week 13.
Playoff Implications
With five weeks remaining in the regular season, this inter-conference matchup carries significant playoff implications for both teams. A victory would strengthen either team’s postseason positioning while providing valuable tiebreaker advantages in their respective conference races.
When these talented rosters collide under the Monday night lights, football fans can expect a competitive, high-stakes contest between two franchises with legitimate championship aspirations.

Thursday Night Football Week 15 2025
Battle in the South: Buccaneers Host Falcons in Crucial Thursday Night Showdown
The bright lights of Thursday Night Football will shine on Raymond James Stadium on December 11, 2025, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-6) welcome their NFC South rivals, the Atlanta Falcons (4-9), in a matchup with significant divisional implications.
Current Standings and Season Context
The Buccaneers are in the thick of a heated NFC South race, currently tied with the Carolina Panthers at 7-6 atop the division. With just weeks remaining in the regular season, every game has become crucial for Tampa Bay’s playoff aspirations. The Buccaneers’ offense has been reasonably productive this season, averaging 23 points per game (17th in the NFL) while maintaining solid ball control with the 8th-best time of possession in the league (31:31 per game).
Meanwhile, the Falcons’ 2025 campaign has been disappointing. At 4-9, Atlanta sits third in the division, ahead of only the struggling New Orleans Saints (3-10). Despite fielding the league’s 16th-ranked offense in terms of yardage (330 yards per game), Atlanta has struggled to convert drives into points, ranking just 27th in scoring with 19.4 points per game.
Key Players to Watch
Tampa Bay Buccaneers:

Baker Mayfield: The veteran quarterback leads the Buccaneers’ passing attack, though his production has declined from last season’s 274.0 yards per game to 196.0 this year. Mayfield will need to take advantage of Atlanta’s vulnerable secondary, ranked as the 4th-worst cornerback corps in the league.
Rachaad White: Tampa Bay’s leading rusher will look to exploit the ground game against the Falcons.
Emeka Egbuka: The emerging receiver leads the Bucs in receiving yards and will look to continue his development.

Atlanta Falcons:

Kirk Cousins: The veteran signal-caller has seen a significant drop in production this season, averaging just 137.0 passing yards per game compared to 240.0 last year, with his completion percentage falling from 65.6% to 60.6%.
Bijan Robinson: Atlanta’s star running back remains the focal point of their offense with 64% of the team’s rushing attempts. Despite a slight decline in yards per game (71.0 this season compared to 82.0 last year), his impressive 3.76 yards after contact ranks in the 93rd percentile among NFL running backs.
Kyle Pitts: The talented tight end has seen a resurgence in usage this season, with his target share increasing from 13.7% to 22.1% and his air yards per game rising from 36.0 to 49.0.

Recent History
The NFC South rivals have split their season series in 2025, with Tampa Bay winning 23-20 in Atlanta on September 7, followed by Atlanta taking both 2024 matchups. Thursday’s contest represents the rubber match for the season series.
Game Significance
For Tampa Bay, this divisional game is pivotal for maintaining their position atop the NFC South, especially with the Panthers matching their record. Their +9 turnover differential (3rd in NFL) has been a key factor in their success this season.
Though Atlanta’s playoff hopes are dim, they bring the league’s 3rd-ranked pass rush (43 sacks) and will look to disrupt Mayfield behind an offensive line that ranks 8th-best in pass protection.
With Tampa Bay installed as 4.5-point favorites, this primetime divisional clash promises intensity as both teams look to finish the 2025 season on a strong note.

Steelers Face Dolphins in Crucial Monday Night Matchup at Acrisure Stadium
The Pittsburgh Steelers will host the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football on December 15, 2025, at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with kickoff scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET. This matchup carries major playoff implications for both teams, with the Steelers currently sitting atop the AFC North with a 7-6 record, while the Dolphins have surged back into the playoff hunt with a 6-7 mark after a 1-6 start to the season.
Key Players to Watch
The Steelers are led by veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is having another strong season, throwing for 2,370 yards, 20 touchdowns, and just 7 interceptions. Rodgers has a talented receiving corps, headlined by the physical DK Metcalf, who has 753 yards and 5 touchdowns. On defense, the Steelers are anchored by linebacker T.J. Watt, who has 7 sacks on the year.
The Dolphins, meanwhile, have been one of the league’s hottest teams over the past month, winning 4 straight games to climb back into the playoff picture. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has thrown for 2,407 yards, 18 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions, while running back De’Von Achane has been a dynamic playmaker, rushing for 1,126 yards and 7 touchdowns. Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has also been a consistent threat, hauling in 812 yards and 6 scores.
Trade History Adds Intrigue
This matchup also carries extra significance due to a blockbuster offseason trade between the two teams. The Dolphins sent cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith to the Steelers in exchange for safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and a draft pick swap. Both teams will be eager to prove they got the better end of the deal, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the game at Acrisure Stadium.
Playoff Implications
With the Steelers looking to solidify their hold on the AFC North and the Dolphins fighting to keep their slim playoff hopes alive, this Monday Night Football showdown has all the makings of a must-see game. The Steelers’ stout defense will be tested by the Dolphins’ explosive offense, while Rodgers and the Steelers’ passing attack will look to exploit a Miami secondary that has been vulnerable at times this season.
Ultimately, this game could have a significant impact on the AFC playoff picture. A Dolphins win would shake up the postseason race, while a Steelers victory would keep them firmly in control of the division.

NFC West Supremacy at Stake: Seahawks Host Rams in Critical Thursday Night Showdown
The NFL’s Week 16 kicks off with a pivotal NFC West clash as the Seattle Seahawks (11-3) welcome the Los Angeles Rams (11-3) to Lumen Field on Thursday, December 18, 2025. With identical records and playoff implications on the line, this matchup promises to be one of the season’s most consequential games.
Battle for Division Supremacy
The stakes couldn’t be higher for this Thursday night showdown. The winner will claim sole possession of first place in the hotly contested NFC West with just two weeks remaining in the regular season. The Rams currently hold the top spot due to their Week 11 victory over Seattle, giving them the head-to-head tiebreaker advantage.
“If Seattle wins, the season series will be split and the teams will be tied in the division record tiebreaker,” notes Field Gulls. “If LA wins, the Rams will have swept the season series and secured the head-to-head tiebreaker.”
Recent Performances
Both teams enter the contest with momentum. The Seahawks barely escaped Week 15 with an 18-16 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, winning on a last-second field goal. Meanwhile, the Rams secured their playoff berth after defeating the Detroit Lions in what was described as a “heavyweight fight,” though the victory came at a cost with concerns surrounding star wide receiver Davante Adams’ health.
Playoff Implications
The game has significant playoff implications beyond just the division race. The winner maintains pace in the battle for the NFC’s coveted No. 1 seed, which provides the only first-round bye in the conference playoffs. According to The Athletic’s playoff simulator, Seattle currently has a 71% chance of winning a wild card berth and a 28% chance of claiming the top seed.
Players to Watch
For Seattle, quarterback Sam Darnold has been orchestrating the offense effectively, though he’ll need to avoid the turnovers that nearly cost them against Indianapolis. The Rams may need to adjust their offensive game plan if Adams can’t suit up on the short week, putting more pressure on their ground attack and secondary receiving options.
Historical Context
The NFC West rivals have a storied history, with their previous matchup this season going to Los Angeles. Seattle is looking to even the season series at home, where they traditionally enjoy one of the NFL’s strongest home-field advantages.
The Bigger Picture
With the San Francisco 49ers (10-4) lurking just a game behind both teams, neither the Seahawks nor Rams can afford a misstep. The division race could potentially come down to Week 18, when Seattle travels to face San Francisco in another crucial matchup.
As Thursday night approaches, all eyes will be on Lumen Field for what should be a defining moment in the 2025 NFL season. With playoff positioning, division supremacy, and bragging rights all on the line, this primetime matchup exemplifies why late-season football captivates the nation.

Monday Night Showdown: 49ers Visit Colts in Crucial Week 16 Matchup
The NFL’s Week 16 Monday Night Football spotlight will shine on Lucas Oil Stadium as the Indianapolis Colts (8-6) host the San Francisco 49ers (10-4) on December 22, 2025. This primetime clash features two playoff hopefuls looking to strengthen their postseason positions as the regular season winds down.
Teams Heading in Different Directions
The 49ers arrive in Indianapolis riding their impressive 10-4 record, including a strong 6-2 performance on the road. Head coach Kyle Shanahan’s squad has maintained their reputation as NFC contenders despite utilizing backup quarterback Mac Jones, who has thrown for 2,151 yards with 13 touchdowns and 6 interceptions this season.
Meanwhile, the Colts are attempting to halt a concerning slide after consecutive losses to Jacksonville and Seattle in Weeks 14 and 15. Despite these setbacks, Indianapolis maintains an 8-6 record and boasts an impressive 6-1 home record at Lucas Oil Stadium, providing a glimmer of hope for the primetime matchup.
Star Power on Display
Both teams feature dynamic offensive playmakers. San Francisco’s Christian McCaffrey continues to demonstrate his dual-threat capabilities, accumulating 922 rushing yards with 9 touchdowns on the ground while adding 86 receptions for 820 yards and 5 touchdowns through the air.
The Colts counter with their own explosive running back, Jonathan Taylor, who has amassed an impressive 1,443 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns. Wide receiver Alec Pierce has developed into a reliable target in the passing game with 39 receptions for 785 yards.
Injury Concerns
Indianapolis faces uncertainty at quarterback with Anthony Richardson Sr. on injured reserve with an orbital injury. His status for Monday’s game remains unclear, potentially leaving backup duties to continue.
The 49ers are monitoring several defensive players listed as questionable, including Nick Martin (concussion), Sam Okuayinonu (ankle), and Jordan Elliott (knee).
Playoff Implications
This matchup carries significant playoff implications for both teams. San Francisco is working to secure its position in the competitive NFC West and potentially earn home-field advantage in the postseason. The Colts, meanwhile, are fighting to maintain their playoff positioning in the AFC with divisional games against Jacksonville and Houston looming in the final weeks.
Historic Broadcasting First
Beyond the on-field action, this game marks a milestone for NFL broadcasting as it becomes the first traditional NFL game broadcast available to stream on Disney+ for standalone subscribers, in addition to airing on ESPN, ABC, and ESPN Deportes. Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will call the action with Lisa Salters and Laura Rutledge reporting from the sidelines.
The Oddsmakers’ View
Las Vegas oddsmakers have installed the visiting 49ers as 5.5-point favorites with an over/under of 45.5 points, reflecting San Francisco’s stronger overall record despite Indianapolis’ home-field advantage.
With playoff aspirations on the line and star talent across both rosters, this Monday night collision promises to deliver compelling football action as the 2025 NFL season approaches its climactic final weeks.

College Football Playoff National Championship

2026 College Football Playoff National Championship
The stage is set for a historic national championship showdown as top-seeded Indiana faces the Cinderella story of No. 10 Miami in the Hurricanes’ home stadium.
**Miami’s Remarkable Run**
The Hurricanes have defied all odds in this College Football Playoff, entering as the tournament’s most controversial selection and now standing one win away from their first national title since 2001. Their playoff journey has been nothing short of spectacular:

Upset No. 7 Texas A&M 10-3 on the road in the first round
Shocked defending champion No. 2 Ohio State 24-14 in the quarterfinals
Survived No. 6 Ole Miss 31-27 in a thrilling Fiesta Bowl semifinal

Quarterback Carson Beck, a Georgia transfer who never appeared in a playoff game for the Bulldogs, has been instrumental in Miami’s success. In the semifinal victory, he threw for 268 yards and two touchdowns before running in the game-winning score from 3 yards out with just 18 seconds remaining.
Indiana’s Dominant Performance
The Hoosiers have been equally impressive, crushing opponents on their path to the championship. They demolished No. 9 Alabama 38-3 in the quarterfinals before dominating No. 5 Oregon 56-22 in the Peach Bowl semifinal.
The Storylines
This matchup features Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, a Miami native, facing his hometown team in what promises to be an emotionally charged atmosphere. The Hurricanes will have the home-field advantage at Hard Rock Stadium, where they’ll seek to capture their sixth national championship and first in 25 years.
With Miami’s never-say-die mentality meeting Indiana’s dominant playoff performances, this championship game has all the makings of an instant classic.
