Picks for Best Games on Saturday, December 29th
Today is going to be a big day in the sports world as there will be the College Football Playoff, which will get the main headlines. That being said I would advise ignoring those games and just watching a full slate of College Basketball. The biggest game will be Kentucky at Louisville, which is arguably the best rivalry in the sport and the game should be good too. There are also a bunch of good games throughout the day, here are my picks for a full Saturday slate of games.
