BASEBALL
MLB on Peacock schedule
The Wild Card Round definitely lived up to its name. Three of the four series were sweeps, with the Yankees beating the Red Sox, the Padres beating the Cubs, and the White Sox beating the Astros. Only one Division Series spot has yet to be decided. The Atlanta Braves took Game 1 of their series against the Philadelphia Phillies, and for half an inning, it looked like they might take Game 2. The Phillies answered back in the bottom of the eighth to tie the game before scoring the game-winning run in the tenth inning. Can they do it again, or will Atlanta bounce back to take the series? Find out tonight.
- Thursday, October 1 at 8 p.m. ET: Wild Card Game: Philadelphia Phillies vs. Atlanta Braves - Game 3

Football
NFL on Peacock schedule
It's North vs. South in the NFC on Sunday Night Football, as the Detroit Lions head down to Bank of America Stadium to face the Carolina Panthers. The Lions remain one of the league's most potent and exciting offenses. Win or lose, they are going to run up the score. For three straight games, they've scored exactly 31 points. Will they do it a fourth time this Sunday? It's very possible, meaning that the Panthers and quarterback Bryce Young will have to aim higher than that to win this game. Carolina will lean on tight end Tommy Tremble to get them down the field. With both teams struggling on the defensive side of the ball, we expect it'll be raining touchdowns in Charlotte this Sunday.
- Sunday, October 4 at 7 p.m. ET: Week 4: Detroit Lions at Carolina Panthers
- Sunday, October 4 at 11:30 p.m. ET: Peacock Sunday Night Football Final

Big Ten Football on Peacock schedule
Big Ten Saturday Night is sticking around LA Memorial Coliseum this weekend. After last week's loss to No. 15 Oregon, USC dropped to No. 18. If they want to keep that number by their name, this one is not only a must-win, it's a must-win-big. The Washington Huskies are coming off a nail-biting loss to Minnesota, so beating a ranked team on the road could put them back in the national conversation. Both teams need a win this week, and that'll make for some great Saturday night football.
- Saturday, October 3 at 7 p.m. ET: Washington vs. USC (18)
