The Christmas season is nice, but the College Football Bowl Season is the real holiday celebration at Greeley Avenue Bar & Grill!
This New Years Day take a front row seat in the Greeley “stadium” to watch a full day of gridiron action as the NFL continues down the path to Super Bowl LII. We’ll be watching some great teams and a few wild cards to find out which team has what it takes to go all the way, and you can see it all on our twelve high-definition TVs in our main room, the bar and our front and back patios.
Here are the bowl games that we will be televised at Greeley Avenue Bar & Grill when we open at 11am on New Years Day.
CITRUS BOWL
This year Notre Dame and LSU will compete in the Orlando based Citrus Bowl, one of the oldest of the non-College Football Playoff’s bowls to be played. The game kicks off at 10am PT, just in time for an order of appetizers from the Greeley kitchen.
Prediction: Ceasing the advantage early will decide this matchup. LSU is favored, but Notre Dame won nine games this season, with a recorded per-carry average of four-plus yards, so this game could be a lot of fun to watch. In the end, predications have it LSU 27, Notre Dame 23.
ROSE BOWL
In its 116th year, the Rose Bowl will again be a prominent bowl game in the College Football Playoff’s system. This New Years Day tradition will start at 2pm PT, with #3 ranked Georgia facing off against the #2 ranked Sooners.
Prediction: The question of who will take the crown in this bowl game will depend on how Oklahoma’s defensive line can back up quarterback Baker Mayfield’s impressive passing ability. If the 2017 Heisman Award winner can get the ball past Georgia’s rushing force, Oklahoma will have chance at winning, with predictions standing at Oklahoma 33, Georgia 30.
SUGAR BOWL
The last bowl game of the day will come to you from the Superdome in New Orleans at 5:34 PT, pairing #4 ranked Alabama against Clemson, the top ranked college team, in the Sugar Bowl.
Prediction: A good game awaits us in the Superdome. Alabama faces uncertainty due to its defensive team and experts are predicting a low-scoring, hard-hitting game, where Clemson stands the best chance to win. But, only if they can overcome Alabama’s experienced quarterback Jalen Hurts. Final score: Alabama 24, Clemson 20.
