Recap of yesterday’s games; Bowl Predictions for today, Saturday, 12/28/24

Diego Pavia and the Commodores had their way with the Ramblin Wreck, 35-27. Outstanding performance by Diego and the Dores at the Birmingham Bowl. Excellent crowd. I was there with my family thanks to Derrick who gave us his box tickets.Thank you, D.. Really awesome time.

Navy edged out Oklahoma in the Armed Forces Bowl, 21-20, when Brent Venables went for two after what looked like would be the game tying TD and extra point with six seconds left. Questionable.

Arkansas blasted Texas Tech in the Liberty Bowl, 39-26 in an awesome performance by quarterback Taylor Green who threw for 2 TDs and ran for another rushing for 81 yards and throwing for 341!

And USC scored 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter in a 35-31 Las Vegas Bowl victory over Texas A&M. Super comeback by Lincoln Riley’s Trojans, while Mike Elko and his Aggies left a lot to be desired at the end of the season.

Yesterday 2-2 SU and ATS.

Overall, SU- 159-60, 73%. ATS: 114-103, 53%

  1. Vandy looked great yesterday! I am sure you and your family, with several Vandy alumni, enjoyed the game! Brent Venables has been at Oklahoma for three years now and has had 2 losing seasons. I agree with you on the questionable 2 pt conversion call at the end of the game. Venables will be on the hot seat in 2025.
