ESPN is handling the television coverage for the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl matchup between the Northern Illinois Huskies and the Fresno State Bulldogs. Kick-off is set for 2:30 ET from Albertsons Stadium in Boise. The Huskies are technically the road team, but this game is being played on a neutral site.

Carolina Panthers vs Arizona Cardinals Picks and Predictions December 22nd 2024
The Arizona Cardinals find themselves in a must-win situation as they look to keep their playoff hopes alive. With just a few weeks left in the season, the Cardinals (7-7) know that every game is critical, and that urgency will be on full display this Sunday when they visit the Carolina Panthers (3-11) in Charlotte, North Carolina. “From here on out, we got to win them all and that’s our mindset going into everything,” said Cardinals offensive tackle Jonah Williams. “But there’s definitely a heightened sense of urgency.” After snapping a three-game losing streak with a 30-17 victory over the New England Patriots, Arizona is back in the hunt for a spot in the NFC playoffs, but they can’t afford

Chicago Bears vs Detroit Lions Picks and Predictions December 22nd 2024
The Detroit Lions will visit Chicago on Sunday, where they look to rebound from a heartbreaking loss while contending with a string of injuries that have threatened to derail their NFC dominance. The Lions (12-2) remain atop the NFC but are facing a critical stretch to secure home-field advantage, and their challenge will intensify against a Chicago Bears team still reeling from a disastrous season. Despite their commanding position in the NFC, the Lions are not without their problems. Running back David Montgomery and defensive tackle Alim McNeill both sustained significant knee injuries in last week’s loss to the Buffalo Bills. Montgomery’s sprained MCL and McNeill’s torn ACL have put their seasons in jeopardy, and the team will also be

Utsa Roadrunners vs Coastal Carolina Chanticleers Picks and Predictions December 23rd 2024
Coastal Carolina is preparing for a rare “home-field” advantage in the Myrtle Beach Bowl on Monday, hosting UTSA on their campus in Conway, S.C. However, the Chanticleers will enter the matchup with significant questions under center as they adjust to life without their top two quarterbacks. Both Ethan Vasko and Noah Kim have entered the transfer portal, leaving Coastal Carolina coach Tim Beck to turn to redshirt freshman Tad Hudson, who has yet to play a snap this season. Beck joked about the situation, saying, “After this meeting, I’m taking all of you outside for tryouts.” While the team scrambles to ready Hudson, the Chanticleers will likely lean heavily on their running game, which ranks 46th nationally with 178.7 yards

Colorado Buffaloes vs Bellarmine Knights Picks and Predictions December 21st 2024
The Colorado Buffaloes (8-2) look to wrap up their nonconference schedule with a win as they host Bellarmine (3-9) on Saturday afternoon in Boulder, Colo. With a perfect 7-0 home record this season, the Buffaloes aim to fine-tune their defensive identity before diving into the challenges of Big 12 play. Colorado lost its top five scorers from last season’s NCAA Tournament squad, leaving a significant gap to fill offensively. The team has found new scoring leaders in Julian Hammond III (13.4 points per game), Elijah Malone (12.3), and Andrej Jakimovski (12.1). This trio has helped Colorado adjust to a new-look lineup, providing balanced scoring that has fueled their strong start at home. However, the Buffaloes’ biggest concern remains their perimeter

by

Big Ten West-leading Iowa absorbed more tough injury news ahead of Saturday’s visit from conference rival Minnesota. Hawkeyes tight end Erick All will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a right knee injury — reportedly a torn ACL — during last week’s victory at Wisconsin. The No. 24 Hawkeyes (6-1, 3-1) have struggled to move the ball as it is, so losing a reliable weapon presents a significant roadblock. “Just really unfortunate. He’s … more
