Ohio State Vs Michigan Predictions

 Ohio State Vs Michigan Predictions    For this post, I will be writing with my co-author, Will Breadstick Will: I am taking Michigan 27-24 because JJ McCarthy has been so dominant with all his passes, and with the electric crowd, the Wolverines will not let them down. Martin Harrison Jr and the Buckeyes will not go down quietly though. GO BLUE!!  Max: I choose Ohio State to Close out this game 24-21. Marvin Harrison Jr is going to score multiple touchdowns thrown by Kyle McCord. This game will be tough and come down to the last second, but ultimately, the Buckeyes will take the game away. Go Buckeyes!!

BREAKING NEWS! Bailey Zappe Throws an interception That Leads To A Touchdown

 BREAKING NEWS! Bailey Zappe Throws an interception That Leads To A Touchdown Just moments ago, Bailey Zappe threw a game changing interception that led to a touchdown for the Chiefs. Now at 3:06 PM 12/17/2023, The Chiefs are leading 27-10.  I believe that since Bailey Zappe threw that crucial interception the game is over for the Patriots unless a miracle happens. Bailey Zappe really needs to step up his game if he wants to be a good quarterback,  let alone a starting quarterback for later in this season or even next season. If the Patriots want to be a good football team, they must find a way for Bailey Zappe to be good so they can draft Marvin Harrison Jr. next season. Zappe is perfectly capable of being a franchise quarterback but he has to step up his game to do so.  I must wrap it up but if you like more mid-game news, then please let me know in the comments. Thank you, goodbye, and GO PATS!!!!!
