The 6-2 (3-2) Duke Blue Devils led by Manny Diaz take on the No.5 8-0 (4-4) Miami Hurricanes led by Mario Cristobal this ACC Football Saturday at Noon ET. In my Miami vs Duke 2024 preview and prediction, I discuss how Duke Football needs to pressure Cam Ward and force him to make costly turnovers that can keep the Blue Devils in the game. Miami has several elite weapons such as Sam Brown, Xavier Restrepo, and Damien Martinez that Duke's defense will also need to hold in check. I predict a 41-17 Miami Hurricanes Football victory because I don't think Duke has the horses to keep this game close ..read more

Ohio State vs Penn State is College Football's game of the week, and it could be 2024's game of the year as this matchup has heavy College Football Playoff implications. Today, I will talk about how Ohio State Football can BEAT Penn State. The Ohio State Buckeyes can win this game by running quarterback Will Howard, utilizing elite wide receivers Jeremiah Smith and Emeka Egbuka, and stepping up on the defensive side of the football with Jim Knowles adapting to Andy Kotelnicki's offense and JT Tuimoloau, Jack Sawyer, Tyleik Williams, and Sonny Styles playing great games. Ryan Day needs this win ..read more

The 2-5 (1-4) UCLA Bruins led by Deshaun Foster take on the 5-3 (2-3) Nebraska Cornhuskers led by Matt Rhule this Big Ten Football Saturday at 3:30 PM ET (2:30 PM CT and 12:30 PM PT). In my Nebraska vs UCLA preview and prediction, I talk about how important this game is for Nebraska Football because a win here earns them bowl eligibility. Their College Football Playoff opportunity is over, but they can still have a successful season by reaching their first bowl game since 2016. Quarterbacks Dylan Raiola and Ethan Garbers will decide this game, along with both team's passing defenses. I predict ..read more

The 5-3 (3-2) Wisconsin Badgers led by Luke Fickell take on the 5-3 (3-2) Iowa Hawkeyes led by Kirk Ferentz this Big Ten Football Saturday at 7:30 PM ET (6:30 PM CT). In my Wisconsin vs Iowa 2024 preview and prediction, I discuss how the key matchup is Wisconsin's defense vs Kaleb Johnson and Iowa's offense. Iowa Football has an elite rushing offense this year, and starting the dual-threat quarterback Brendan Sullivan will force the Badgers' defense to play hard and also put pressure on Wisconsin's offense, led by Tawee Walker, to score. I predict a 27-20 Iowa Football victory but don't be sur ..read more

The 5-3 (3-2) Minnesota Golden Gophers led by PJ Fleck take on the No.24 6-2 (3-2) Illinois Fighting Illini led by Bret Bielema this Big Ten Football Saturday at Noon ET (11:00 AM CT). In my Minnesota vs Illinois 2024 preview and prediction, I discuss how Minnesota Football needs to slow down the run, control the pace of the game, and attack an Illinois Football team that has a gamer in Luke Altmyer at quarterback. Illinois needs to hold Darius Taylor, Elijah Spencer, and Daniel Jackson to minimal gains, while also using a balanced attack on offense. I predict a 23-17 Illinois Football victory ..read more

The No.13 8-0 (5-0) Indiana Hoosiers led by Curt Cignetti take on the 4-4 (2-3) Michigan State Spartans led by Jonathan Smith this Big Ten Football Saturday at 3:30 PM ET. In my Michigan State vs Indiana 2024 preview and prediction, I discuss how Michigan State Football needs to run the football, score in the red zone (sorry Jonathan Kim), and control the clock if they want to pull off an upset. Indiana's offense will score points whether Kurtis Rourke or Tayven Jackson starts at quarterback, and this defense, led by Mikhail Kamara, James Carpenter, D'Angelo Ponds, and Shau Asbury, is clutch a ..read more

The No.1 8-0 (5-0) Oregon Ducks led by Dan Lanning take on the 5-3 (3-2) Michigan Wolverines led by Sherrone Moore this Big Ten Football Saturday at 3:30 PM ET (12:30 PM PT). In my Michigan vs Oregon 2024 preview and prediction, I discuss how Michigan Football needs to run the football and control the clock if they want to pull off an upset. The Wolverines' defensive front, led by Josaiah Stewart, Kenneth Grant, Mason Graham, and Derrick Moore, needs to step up and pressure Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel and limit running back Jordan James. However, I think the Ducks will be just fine in th ..read more

The No.4 6-1 (3-1) Ohio State Buckeyes led by Ryan Day take on the No.3 7-0 (4-0) Penn State Nittany Lions led by James Franklin this Big Ten Football Saturday at Noon ET. In my Ohio State vs Penn State 2024 preview and prediction, I discuss how the trenches will decide this game. Penn State's defensive line is one of the best in the country and their Andy Kotelnicki-led offense will keep Jim Knowles' defense in check. I would favor Abdul Carter, Amin Vanover, Dani Dennis-Sutton, Zane Durant, Dvon J-Thomas, Alonzo Ford Jr, and Cozziah Izzard over Ohio State's offensive line led by Seht McLaugh ..read more

Penn State Football BEATS Wisconsin Football 28-13 after trailing 10-7 at halftime. In my Penn State vs Wisconsin 2024 reaction, I give my takeaways for the Penn State Nittany Lions and the Wisconsin Badgers. Luke Fickell coached an elite game Saturday, but the Badgers don't have the players to overcome James Franklin's deep roster. As for Penn State, Drew Allar went down with an injury and will be a game-time decision against Ohio State, but it is clear to me that Beau Pribula can win the Nittany Lions games. We talk about all of this and more in this episode of College Football with Sam. Mak ..read more

Indiana Football STOMPS Washington Football in a game-controlling 31-17 victory. In my Indiana vs Washington 2024 reaction, I give my takeaways on the Indiana Hoosiers and Washington Huskies, particularly focusing on Curt Cignetti and Indiana's dominance and depth. Indiana was without star quarterback Kurtis Rourke, but Tayven Jackson did just fine as the Hoosiers coasted, earning over 300 yards and generating 3 offensive touchdowns, keeping Indiana's Big Ten Championship and College Football Playoff hopes alive. For Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies, it is another painful loss filled with ..read more
