Seahawks-Packers caps weekend TV feast

In a rematch of last season's NFC Championship Game, the Green Bay Packers will host the Seattle Seahawks on "Sunday Night Football" to highlight a bountiful weekend TV feast of football.

Before we dig into the main course, there are a plethora of appealing appetizers, with four matchups of top-25 college football teams Saturday and three other games on NFL Sunday: the San Francisco 49ers-Pittsburgh Steelers and San Diego Chargers-Cincinnati Bengals in the morning and the Dallas Cowboys-Philadelphia Eagles in the afternoon.

Also, UNLV travels to Michigan Stadium on Saturday morning to take on the heavily favored Wolverines. Wonder what will happen if Jim Harbaugh bumps into Tony Sanchez during the postgame handshake.

TODAY

No. 9 Florida State at Boston College (5 p.m., ESPN (30)): Notre Dame transfer quarterback Everett Golson has been solid in his first two games for the Seminoles (2-0), who have won five straight vs. Boston College but needed a last-second field goal to secure last year's 20-17 triumph. The Eagles (2-0) have outscored their first two opponents (Maine and Howard) 100-3.

BEST OF REST: Football: New Mexico at Arizona State (7 p.m., PAC12 (334)); MLB: St. Louis Cardinals at Chicago Cubs (11 a.m., MLBN (314)), New York Yankees at New York Mets or Miami Marlins at Washington Nationals (4 p.m. MLBN (314)), Los Angeles Angels at Minnesota Twins (5 p.m., FSW (49)).

SATURDAY

No. 15 Ole Miss at No. 2 Alabama (6:15 p.m., ESPN (30)): Mississippi has been burning up the scoreboard en route to becoming the first Southeastern Conference team to score at least 73 points in back-to-back games — albeit in routs of Tennessee-Martin and Fresno State. The Rebels will take a big step up in class at Bryant-Denny Stadium, where they've lost 12 straight to the Crimson Tide.No. 19 Brigham Young at No. 10 UCLA (7:30 p.m., FS1 (329)): Back in the national rankings after two thrilling comeback wins, the Cougars will try to keep their mojo working behind quarterback Tanner Mangum in this matchup at the Rose Bowl. Mangum came off the bench Sept. 5 to throw a last-second Hail Mary touchdown pass in BYU's 33-28 win at Nebraska, then completed a go-ahead TD toss with 45 seconds left Saturday in the Cougars' 35-24 win over then-No. 20 Boise State.

SUNDAY

Seattle Seahawks at Green Bay Packers (5:20 p.m., NBC (3)): The Packers appeared headed to Super Bowl XLIX after leading the Seahawks 19-7 with less than three minutes to play in last season's NFC title game, but Seattle scored two late touchdowns to force overtime and won 28-22 on Russell Wilson's 35-yard TD pass to Jermaine Kearse. Green Bay, which also lost in Seattle in 2012 on the controversial "Fail Mary" pass to Golden Tate, has beaten the Seahawks five straight times at Lambeau Field, where it went 9-0 last season.

Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles (1:25 p.m., Fox (5)): Eagles running back DeMarco Murray, a Bishop Gorman High School product, faces his former team, as Philadelphia tries to avoid falling to 0-2 and the Cowboys adjust to life without injured star receiver Dez Bryant.
