Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs Clemson Tigers Picks and Predictions September 13th 2025
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets look to end a nine-game losing streak when they host the Clemson Tigers in Saturday’s ACC opener. Clemson enters at No. 12 but has shown cracks after a slow start, while Georgia Tech rides confidence from a 2-0 beginning and is seeking its first win in the rivalry since 2014. The Tigers began the year ranked No. 4 but have slipped after a 17-10 loss to LSU and a shaky 27-16 win over Troy. Quarterback Cade Klubnik, once considered a Heisman hopeful, has averaged just 213 passing yards per game. Clemson’s offense is producing only 288.5 yards per outing, a steep drop for a program used to explosive play. Coach Dabo Swinney emphasized the need

Northwestern Wildcats vs Oregon Ducks Picks and Predictions September 13th 2025
The Oregon Ducks enter their first Big Ten road game ranked No. 4 and riding an explosive offense that has already piled up 128 points in two weeks. Their opponent, the Northwestern Wildcats, are rebuilding under David Braun and now must adjust without their starting running back, Cam Porter, who is out for the season with a leg injury. The Ducks have shown no signs of slowing down after losing key players from last year’s playoff team. Quarterback Dante Moore, a UCLA transfer, has thrown six touchdowns with no interceptions while leading an offense that has surpassed 1,100 total yards. Oregon’s balance has been impressive, as the Ducks are one of only two FBS programs with at least 310 yards

Temple Owls vs Oklahoma Sooners Picks and Predictions September 13th 2025
The Oklahoma Sooners look to avoid a letdown after a statement win over Michigan when they travel to Philadelphia to face the Temple Owls. Oklahoma jumped to No. 13 in the rankings and is off to a 2-0 start, while Temple has surprised under new coach K.C. Keeler with an explosive 2-0 beginning to the season. Coach Brent Venables stressed the importance of avoiding complacency after his team faded late last year. Quarterback John Mateer has been the catalyst, throwing for 662 yards and four touchdowns while adding 98 rushing yards and three scores.

Michigan Wolverines vs Central Michigan Chippewas Picks and Predictions September 13th 2025
The Michigan Wolverines return to Ann Arbor with a new interim coach and plenty of questions after a loss at Oklahoma. Interim coach Biff Poggi will lead the team while head coach Sherrone Moore serves a suspension. The Central Michigan Chippewas arrive for their third straight road game, bringing a physical, run-heavy style under first-year coach Matt Drinkall. Biff Poggi takes the reins for Michigan this week, a familiar presence from Jim Harbaugh’s staff. Poggi was chosen for his experience and player relationships, while coordinators Chip Lindsey and Wink Martindale continue calling plays. Michigan fell 24-13 to Oklahoma last week, struggling offensively outside of a 75-yard run from Justice Haynes. Freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood completed just 9 of 24 passes

Rays, Red Sox Playing for Pride in Season Finale The visiting Tampa Bay Rays will aim to complete a three-game sweep as they meet the Boston Red Sox in their regular season finale on Sunday. With both teams currently holding identical records of 80-81, the outcome of this game will decide who finishes third in the American League East. For both sides, it’s about ending a disappointing season on a positive note. Rays Eyeing Sweep and Avoiding Losing Season After taking the first two games of the series, including a 7-2 win on Saturday, the Rays will look to cap off the year by avoiding their first losing season since 2017. The Rays have had their ups and downs, but a strong performance on Sunday could ensure a .500 finish and some solace heading into the offseason. Junior Caminero provided the highlight on Saturday, hitting a two-run home run off Boston starter Kutter Crawford, who allowed his 34th home run of the season—the most by any major league pitcher this year. Despite the setback, Boston manager Alex Cora defended Crawford’s season. "If you look at his season overall, it was a solid one," Cora said. "This is a kid ... he understands how to pitch. Uses both sides of the plate. He can go up, he can go down. He's a guy we expect him to keep getting better. He's been good for us." For Tampa Bay, a major positive was the continued strong showing by reliever Drew Rasmussen, who pitched two scoreless innings on Saturday. Returning from elbow surgery, Rasmussen ends the year with a 2.83 ERA over 28 2/3 innings as a reliever. "It wasn't perfect (Saturday), but you just look back over where I've been over the last 18 months or so, and I'm truly just blessed to have the opportunity to be back playing on the field," Rasmussen said. "Pretty good year, and we're excited about things moving forward." Probable Starters: Ryan Pepiot vs. Quinn Priester The Rays will start Ryan Pepiot (8-7, 3.64 ERA), who has been consistent throughout the season. Despite taking the loss in a 2-1 game against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday, Pepiot allowed just two runs on three hits over five innings, striking out six and walking four. Impressively, Pepiot has allowed two earned runs or fewer in 12 of his past 13 starts. Pepiot has limited experience against the Red Sox but has fared well, recording 15 strikeouts over 10 innings in two career starts against Boston with a 3.60 ERA. The Red Sox, on the other hand, are expected to start Quinn Priester (2-6, 5.04 ERA), who was acquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates in July. This will be Priester's first start for Boston, after spending time with Triple-A Worcester to work on his mechanics. Priester went 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA in nine starts for Worcester and 4-2 with a 4.38 ERA overall in 16 Triple-A starts this year. The right-hander has focused on mechanical adjustments that have helped improve the performance of all his pitches, which he attributes to a rise in confidence. "Ultimately making some mechanical adjustments that felt really natural and led to better performance of all my pitches," Priester said. "And feeling that and seeing that just let the confidence build up to where it should be." Red Sox Struggling Down the Stretch For the Red Sox, it’s been a tale of two halves this season. Boston was 10 games over .500 at the All-Star break but has struggled significantly since, posting a 27-38 record. The team's home struggles continued, with a 37-43 record at Fenway Park, being outscored by 33 runs in those games. Saturday’s 7-2 loss marked the Red Sox’s third straight defeat, during which they've scored a combined four runs. Manager Alex Cora, while optimistic about some of his players' individual performances, knows the team needs a more complete approach if they are to close out the year positively. Key Players to Watch Junior Caminero (Rays): Caminero has shown potential with his power and will look to contribute again after his two-run shot on Saturday. Drew Rasmussen (Rays): The reliever, who has battled back from surgery, will aim to end his season on a high note, continuing his recent solid performances. Kutter Crawford (Red Sox): Despite allowing the most home runs in the league, Crawford has had moments of brilliance and will be looking to reflect on the positives as the Red Sox head into the offseason. Quinn Priester (Red Sox): Making his first start for Boston, Priester will try to show he can be a part of the rotation next season with a strong showing in the season finale. Pride and Positioning at Stake The outcome of Sunday’s game will determine who finishes third in the American League East, with both teams sitting at 80-81. For Tampa Bay, avoiding a losing record is a significant incentive, especially given their consistent performance in recent years. For Boston, a victory would at least allow them to finish the year with some pride after a challenging second half. Both teams will be playing for pride, and with a chance to finish the year on a high note, expect a competitive game as these AL East rivals close out their 2024 campaigns.
