Week 12 of the 2025 NFL season is here, with teams looking to position themselves for the postseason over the final seven weeks of the year. There are plenty of story lines for today’s games, including the 5-5 Kansas City Chiefs trying to fight their way into a postseason position against a surprising 8-2 Indianapolis […]
The Dallas Cowboys Monday Night Football win against the Las Vegas Raiders was an emphatic one, but in the week-to-week nature of the NFL it stands to be forgotten about by Sunday evening – or not. The win has Cowboys fans feeling confident ahead of a home matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, and the fact […]
Allow me to breeze past your drive-by-drive recap of what was ultimately a breeze on Saturday. Penn State scored on their first five drives of the game, taking a failed fourth down conversion by Nebraska at their own 2-yard line and turning it into the first touchdown of the game. They followed up with a […]
All due respect to Samford, but I struggle to recall the last time I saw a team that overmatched. The Aggies looked like a different level of team (because they are) and got their backups nearly three quarters of reps en route to a 48-0 win to get to 11-0 (wow) on the season. You […]
The Daily Merengue is a place where you can feel free to d all things football. Do not be alarmed by the overt RMCF bias. It’s in the name! Shoutout to the mods who do a fantastic job, Ezek, Valyrian Steel, Kung_Fu_Zizou, Juninho, NeRObutBlanco and yours truly, Felipejack. Matchday! Real Madrid football returns today after international break. We face Elche today […]
Ten Fourteen Eighteen B1G Things The Rundown Northwestern finally wins at Wrigley! At first it looked like a very West type of game, then suddenly both teams decided to give the defense the rest of the afternoon off, and couldn’t stop each other. It was actually one of those “last team with the ball wins.” […]
As expected against Samford, the Aggies took care of business. The 48-0 win marked the first defensive shutout for Texas A&M since 2022. Next up for the Aggies is a trip to Austin to close out the regular season against the Longhorns. Per FanDuel, the Aggies are 2.5-point favorites on the road against Texas. The […]
Late last night after Portland State’s 24-13 loss in the regular season finale against Norther Colorado, the school announced that head coach Bruce Barnum and his coaching staff would be relieved of their duties in the effort to make a wholesale change. Barnum, who has led the Vikings since 2015, finished his last campaign with […]
During the season, Cleveland Browns fans vote in SB Nation Reacts to express their confidence level in the team or their thoughts on other topics. The Browns are coming off a loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but with Shedeur Sanders set to make his first career start this Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, fan […]
Ohio State’s 42–9 win against Rutgers this weekend delivered its cleanest, most complete rushing performance of the season, and the defining number was unmistakable: 7.05 yards per carry, excluding kneel-downs. It wasn’t a one-off burst or 70+ yard play; it wasn’t inflated from broken plays or garbage time, it was the product of consistent, physical, […]
The season of giving is just around the corner for most, but it arrived in Fresno on Saturday night when the Fresno State Bulldogs gave away their chance at a Mountain West Championship Game with a 28-17 loss to the Utah State Aggies. On a cold and crisp night by Fresno standards, EJ Warner returned […]
Watching my alma mater, Southern Illinois, go on the road, beat a top-15 team in its building by 30 points (and on Senior Day!) got my juices flowing and ready for today’s Bears game. Selfishly, I hope The Committee puts the Salukis in as an at-large team. Their efforts might fall under the “too little, too late” umbrella, but at least it was fun to witness. Happy Game Day! The Chicago Bears enter Week 12 in sole possession of first place in the NFC North. Who knows how long it will las...

When Northwestern comes to Champaign next Saturday night for the regular season’s final game, the scuffling Illini are expected to come out on top. FanDuel Sportsbook on Sunday issued its opening line for the HAT matchup, and Illinois is a 6.5-point favorite. It’s the fourth consecutive game to close out the season that the Illini […]
Let’s assume for a minute that the team isn’t going to moving any of their big four. Andrew Painter, Aidan Miller, Justin Crawford and Gage Wood are probably all as close to untouchable as prospects can get being as how they all look possible to debut in 2026. That means there are a number of […]
The Miami Hurricanes “survived a scare” or won by 17 over the Virginia Tech Hokies on Saturday. The Hurricanes held a 20-3 halftime lead and wrapped up the win 34-17. The Canyonero Keys to Victory main theme was ‘head down and drive.’ That means just play your game and you’ll win. The three individual keys […]
Thomas and Badwater join up to give their instant reactions to Oregon’s win over USC in Autzen Stadium, and look forward to rivalry week with Washington.
There is no positive spin for this one. Well, Luke Altmyer and Gabe Jacas’ final season in Champaign is going out with a sad whimper, and not a bang. The 27-10 drubbing at the hands of Luke Fickell’s Badgers sealed their fate. Regardless of what happens when a spry Northwestern squad closes the regular season […]
Post VANDERBILT Football and/or SEC Football questions in the comments here. For the first time in literally all of our lifetimes, Vanderbilt Football is 9-2 after kicking the ever loving shit out of the Jamal Mashburn Wedding Jerseys in perhaps the most complete dismantling of an SEC foe I’ve ever seen from my Gridiron Dores. […]
The Minnesota Golden Gophers (6-5) are at risk of losing four of their final five games after suffering a miserable 38-35 loss to the Northwestern Wildcats (6-5) on Saturday at Wrigley Field. The Ugly The Gopher defense. Northwestern came into the game ranked 52nd in rushing offense (169.4 rushing yards per game), 116th in passing […]
Betting Line: Ohio State -11.5 | O/U 44.5 What was effectively an 11-game preseason for Ohio State has come to an end, and now the real season begins. The Buckeyes take their 11-0 record with them to Ann Arbor, where they will battle against their biggest rival who has beaten them each of the last […]
Despite a strong third quarter, North Carolina lost for the seventh time this season, this time to archrival Duke 32-25. The Tar Heels — who actually took the lead by a point with a 12 yard run by Davion Gause a little under two minutes into the fourth quarter — couldn’t get the stops needed […]
Commanders links Articles ESPN Oregon honors former Ducks QB Marcus Mariota during USC game The Ducks honored Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Marcus Mariota during Saturday’s game against USC, as Oregon players and coaches on the sidelines wore sweatshirts emblazoned with “Ohana” in honor of his Hawaiian heritage. Mariota, who now plays for the Washington Commanders, was […]
Despite some devastating injuries this past week, there is still plenty of intrigue surrounding the Atlanta Falcons as they travel to face the New Orleans Saints. That intrigue centers on some of the replacements for the injured players, as well as the return of a significant component to their defense. Thus, the task falls to […]
When it comes to Mizzou football, there are a lot of thoughts running through my head these days. Some of them revolve around whether Missouri will be hiring a new football coach in the next few weeks. Others are more in depth thoughts about the sustainability of the current program, and its general direction. For […]
