The Houston Texans were expected to be one of the worst teams in the NFL this season with a rookie QB, a young roster, and a first time head coach, but here they are as the AFC South Champions with a home playoff game. Expectations also tapered for Cleveland this year when they couldn’t find […]
The #10 Fighting Illini (11-3) have survived without leading scorer Terrence Shannon, Jr. (21.7 ppg) – for now. Illinois has won 9 of their last 11, falling only to then #17 Tennessee and then #1 Purdue over that span, both on the road. Michigan State (9-6) will look to play spoiler on Thursday night in […]
Both Michigan and Maryland looked like they would cruise to easy victories over the weekend, but neither could protect double digit leads and come into Thursday night’s meeting off of a loss. For the Wolverines (6-9), their 79-73 defeat to Penn State marks a four game skid while the Terrapins (9-6) have now dropped their […]
The betting public have to be hammering the offshore sportsbooks over on Monday night when Texas faces Washington in the Sugar Bowl. This could be a 5-hour game the way the Longhorns (36.2 ppg) and Huskies (37.7 ppg) can put up points at will – mostly through the air. These two teams met in the […]
During the College Football Playoff pairing show, the cameras caught Michigan (13-0) players letting out an audible groan when they found out they’d be playing Alabama (12-1) instead of Florida State. Nobody really blames the Wolverines considering Nick Saban’s squad has rattled off 11 straight wins, but by no means is UM a pushover here […]
We saw what previously undefeated Florida State did after they felt they were snubbed for the College Football Playoff – come out flat and lose 63-3 to Georgia. Some people forget that Liberty was also undefeated this year at 13-0, and they’ll try to fare better on New Year’s Day against an 11-2 Oregon team […]
Iowa’s offense was the repeated comedy relief of the 2023 regular season as the Hawks averaged just 16.6 ppg, but it was Kirk Ferentz’s team that laughed all the way to a 10-3 record thanks to a vicious defense and an electric special teams. Tennessee (8-4) can put up some points on paper, but they’ll […]
Sometimes top players participate in a bowl game if it’s on New Year’s Day, but that’s not the case for LSU quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels is opting out to prepare for the NFL draft. The Tigers (9-3) still have loads of talent – and Wisconsin has some losses of their own to […]
Both the Titans (5-10) and Texans (8-7) hope to get their rookie QBs back in action in week 17 as Will Levis (ankle) and C.J. Stroud (concussion) have missed time recently. These two clubs met just two weeks ago when it was Case Keenum leading the Texans to an ugly 19-16 win in Tennessee thanks […]
For the first time since he’s joined the Jaguars 51 games ago, Trevor Lawrence will not be Jacksonville’s starting QB when they host Carolina in week 17. C.J. Beathard gets the nod hoping to end the team’s four game losing streak and with an outside chance to win the AFC South. Carolina (2-13) is coming […]
