The University of Oregon Ducks are set to face off against the Michigan Wolverines in a highly anticipated college football matchup on Saturday. As part of their first season in the Big Ten, the No. 1-ranked Ducks will look to build on their dominant 38-9 win over Illinois last week, while the Wolverines aim to capitalize on their recent 24-17 victory over Michigan State.
SportsLine expert Jimmie Kaylor has analyzed the matchup and is predicting an under point total, citing a critical X-factor that makes one side of the spread a must-back.

The NFL's new kickoff rule has caused confusion in its first week, with the Kansas City Chiefs experiencing a bizarre safety during their preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The play started when the Jags kicked the ball into the end zone, where it bounced back onto the field and came to rest at the one-yard line. The Chiefs' Mecole Hardman touched the ball, thinking it was a touchback, but the officiating crew initially ruled it as such before reviewing the play and declaring it a safety. Jaguars coach Doug Pederson explained that under the new rule, the ball remains live even if it lands in the end zone, allowing the return team to try to advance it.

The United States women's national basketball team has won eight consecutive Olympic gold medals, and it seems likely that some changes will be made to the roster for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. One notable change is the expected replacement of Diana Taurasi by Caitlin Clark, who impressed with her skills this summer. Other players like Rhyne Howard, Paige Bueckers, and JuJu Watkins are also vying for spots on the team.
As we look to the future, it's clear that youth and versatility will be key factors in selecting the 2028 roster. Players like Napheesa Collier, Young, and Ionescu have already made an impact at the international level and should only improve over the next four years. Experience will also play a role, with players like Loyd, Plum, and Copper having been part of previous Olympic teams.
