It’s prediction time on the show and Zach is joined by Jack McKessy of USA Today to make a number of picks related to the outcome of the 2024 season for the Wildcats. They begin by discussing if Northwestern will have a home field advantage at the temporary stadium on Lake Michigan (2:45) before projecting who will be the starting quarterback in Week 1 (12:05). Then, they make their picks for the team's individual stat leaders (15:32) and also name an MVP for the defense and the offense (21:39). Next, the duo breaks down Northwestern’s schedule and predicts what the team’s record will be and where it will finish in the Big Ten (28:38). Finally, the two discuss the Big Ten as a whole and choose a conference title game matchup (40:29) before briefly talking about the expanded playoff and which team will win the national championship (48:36).
