October is one of the busiest months of the sports calendar, and this weekend brings us some great action. We have NHL, MLB, NFL, and College Football action. BetMGM wants to get you involved with an offer of $150 in bonus funds when you wager $10 on any of the leagues this weekend using promo code FOXNEWS. This offer is only available to those in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
The NHL brings you five games on Friday night, 13 games on Saturday night, and five games on Sunday. That’s 23 games for you to choose your best angle and place a wager. Every team in the league has at least one game, so bet your favorite, fade the one you hate, or pick the one that has the best value.
College Football also brings you some great action this weekend. We have three solid games on Friday and over 50 on Saturday. Some of the games that stand out are Penn State vs. Northwestern tonight, Alabama vs. Mississippi State tomorrow at 12:00 ET, and Florida vs. Missouri at 3:30 ET.

The NFL will dominate our Sunday. Thursday Night Football saw the Browns take down the Steelers in a very entertaining game. This is the last week for a while that we will see every team take the field. The games start early with a London match between the Colts and Commanders.
The MLB Division Series is set, with the White Sox and Guardians kicking off the day. The Braves head to face the Dodgers at 4:00 ET. Then the evening slate is highlighted by the Yankees battling Tampa, and finally, the Padres taking on the Brewers.
