The 15 most expensive college football bowls to attend – and one shockingly cheap playoff game

The 15 most expensive bowl games to attend this season – and one playoff game that has unbelievably cheap tickets.

Want to make it to a college football bowl game this winter? There are some amazing values out there – and some major investments.

Although we won’t know which teams are playing for the national championship for several weeks, CFP Championship Game tickets are already available – and selling for more than $1,100 per ticket.

Not every playoff game will bust your bank account, though. Saturday’s SMU vs. Penn State game in Beaver Stadium is shockingly one of the cheapest bowl games of the year to attend, with tickets available for as little as $57. We saw the get-in price for Penn State vs. SMU as low as $47 earlier in the day.

Are Raiders playing today in Week 15?

Will the Las Vegas Raiders be on the field today in Week 15 of the NFL schedule?

Following a Week 14 defeat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Raiders are hosting the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football on Monday, December 16.

The 2-11 Raiders are attempting to snap a nine-game losing streak. Meanwhile the Falcons have been dealing with struggles of their own, having dropped four consecutive contests. Atlanta’s veteran starting quarterback Kirk Cousins is beginning to feel the pressure, with fans calling for the team to insert rookie QB Michael Penix Jr. into the lineup. Cousins is expected to start versus the Raiders, however.

Raiders’ 2024 schedule

  • Week 12: vs. Broncos (L, 19-29)
  • Week 13: at Chiefs (L, 17-19)

Following Sunday’s contest, Houston hits the road for a Saturday showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Texans return home five days late to take on the Baltimore Ravens.

At 8-5, the Texans hold a two-game lead in the AFC South.

Will Derek Carr play this week? Injury updates for Saints QB

Saints quarterback is dealing with a hand injury and concussion. Here are the latest updates.

The New Orleans Saints won’t start quarterback Derek Carr on Sunday against the Commanders. He suffered a left hand fracture and concussion in last week’s win over the New York Giants. That left the decision between Jake Haener and Spencer Rattler.

Derek Carr injury update

Carr is still battling the concussion and left-hand fracture. However, that doesn’t mean he will be inactive in Week 15. While the Saints will go into the game against the Washington Commanders with Jake Haener getting his first start at QB, Carr could be the second or third quarterback.

Darren Rizzi speaks about QB situation

Interim coach Rizzi discussed the team’s QB issues with Carr injured.

“They’re both guys that throw the ball well, they’re both similar size guys, athletic ability is very similar,” Rizzi said, “There’ll be some nuances in the game plan, depending on which guy starts, naturally. . . . But it’s not going to be this wholesale deal.”

Saints QB depth chart

Carr is listed as No. 1 on the depth chart with Haener behind him and Rattler third.
