deskgameAs I mentioned earlier, Legendz will utilize two forms of virtual currencies.
deskgameExpect top effort from Hawkins Jr., who can use the Armed Forces Bowl as an audition to be the Sooners starter in 2025. Before all the transfers and opt-outs, Oklahoma’s offense ranked last in the SEC in passing yards per game. Hawkins Jr.’s ability to make plays with his legs is a saving grace, considering the Sooners have no pass catchers with more than 300 yards.
deskgameYoungblood transferred in from South Florida, where he was the AAC’s co-player of the season in 2023-24. The Tuscaloosa native missed the first nine games of the year, but has slowly worked his way back in the past four matchups. Alabama will need its role players to step up when the team treks through a gauntlet SEC schedule, and Youngblood is a player to watch.
deskgameMichigan plays defense. It’s what the Wolverines do. They have one of the top defensive units nationally and will want to set the tone early. I believe they will.
deskgameWe cannot overlook the fact that Kansas City beat both San Francisco and Baltimore. But recent history says the Bills dispatch the Chiefs in the regular season and K.C. exacts its revenge in the playoffs. The Bills have won four of the last five regular season meetings, including the last three. Kansas City has won three consecutive postseason matchups.
