There are a number of marquee matchups this weekend in the world of sports that should catch the interest of fans all over the world.

BASEBALL

Milwaukee Brewers at Chicago Cubs. This weekend series features the Cubs’ Sammy Sosa, who has 58 home runs and is currently four behind leader Mark McGwire. This is also an important series for the Cubs in the battle for the NL Wildcard, where they are currently tied with the New York Mets.

NFL

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Green Bay Packers. The Central Division rivals will face off in an intriguing matchup. The Packers have beaten Tampa Bay eight times in a row in Wisconsin, but this time the weather will not factor in the outcome.

Dallas Cowboys at Denver Broncos. This matchup features two teams that are coming off impressive opening day wins, and have had a lot of success in the recent years.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Notre Dame at Michigan State. These two proud programs will meet at Spartan Stadium coming off very different outcomes the week before. The Fighting Irish are coming off a huge win over Michigan, while the Spartans got crushed by the Ducks of Oregon.

Iowa State at Iowa. Need I say more?

US OPEN

The finals of the tennis tournament will be on Sunday. Among those still competing include Venus Williams and Pete Sampras.
