Outside of the regular schedule of NFL football on a Sunday, it's a light day for sports on TV today. New England Patriots fans will have to wait until late in the day to see a big match-up with the San Francisco 49ers from Gillette Stadium. Before that though, they can wet their whistle with a little college basketball.
↵The Boston College Eagles will be hosting the New Hampshire Wildcats at home at 1 p.m. today. The Eagles have about two and a half weeks before ACC play begins. They'll open the the conference season at home against the North Carolina St. Wolfpack on Jan. 5.
↵The Patriots will face off against the 49ers in NBC's prime time game. Both teams have plenty to play for as a loss for the 49ers could make their next math-up with the Seattle Seahawks one that decides the NFC West division lead. The Patriots meanwhile are just a game back of the top spot in the AFC after Sunday's win over the Houston Texans.
