Desmond Howard BREAKDOWN of Michigan vs. TCU ? | Get Up

The Michigan Wolverines enter the Fiesta Bowl as the Big Ten champions with a perfect 13-0 record. After some close calls versus Maryland and Illinois, Michigan proved they were the best team in the conference after destroying bitter rival Ohio State 45-23 in Columbus. With an elite defense and stout running game, Michigan is one of the toughest teams in the country in the trenches.

The TCU Horned Frogs are 12-1 and coming off their lone defeat of the season, a 31-28 overtime loss against Kansa State in the Big 12 Championship. Despite the one hiccup, it’s been a magical season for the Horned Frogs under first-year coach Sonny Dykes. For TCU to pull off the upset, quarterback Max Duggan will need to show the world why he was a Heisman trophy finalist and carry the Horned Frogs to victory.

The best game of the Divisional Round in the 2024 NFL Playoffs features Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs taking on Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. Both teams have Super Bowl aspirations, so this will definitely be a game to watch. The Chiefs are trying to become the first team since the 2003 and 2004 Patriots to win back-to-back Super Bowls. Buffalo is still looking to capture its first Super Bowl in franchise history.

The Chiefs and Bills have formed one of the best rivalries in the NFL in the Mahomes-Allen era. Since 2020, the Bills are 3-1 against the Chiefs in the regular season. These two teams met on December 10, 2023, with Buffalo coming out with a 20-17 win. However, the Chiefs are an undefeated 2-0 against the Bills in the postseason, with their most recent matchup coming in the 2022 Divisional Round, where Kansas City won 42-36 in overtime.
