It's December, but it's not just the holidays that are fast approaching. There are tons of important sports games on deck as the NFL winds down into the post-season and college bowl games kick off. Will the Browns win a game at all? Will the Patriots or the Eagles reign supreme over the regular season? Can the Cowboys rally to make the playoffs with Ezekiel Elliott temporarily out of the picture? Ohio State didn't make the college football playoffs, much to the dismay of some of our own staffers, but this year will still be quite interesting: There are two SEC teams in the playoffs for the first time ever.
There's a whole lotta games going on with lots of implications. But you can start planning your viewing schedule and clearing space on your DVR accordingly with our handy sports guide below. We'll be updating it with teams as they're determined. All times ET.
