The 2024 SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl will feature USC and Texas A&M pitting against each other at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, at 10:30 p.m. ET on Friday. Texas A&M is favored by 3.5 points, while the over/under is set at 52.5.

Texas A&M (8-4) is coming off a 17-7 loss against in-state rivals Texas. Under first-year coach Mike Elko, the Aggies registered their 14th winning season in the last 15 years. They will hope to avoid an upset loss against USC, which is heavily depleted due to players entering the transfer portal.
