College Football Picks

The Liberty Bowl should be called the “No Value Bowl” because this game has a tricky point spread. Army basically played nobody this season, but is a +7 underdog? Will WVU be motivated or flop? Check out Zman’s take here!

It’s kind of bizarre to see a 20-point spread in a BCS playoff game, but the Alabama Crimson Tide have been that good this season. Conversely, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish have historically been weak in big games. See Mikes Rose Bowl preview and pick here!

This year’s Cotton Bowl will feature two excellent squads in the Florida Gators and Oklahoma Sooners. The game looks evenly matched, however, Fla will be without standout tight end Kyle Pitts, which is a huge disadvantage as he was their go-to receiver. On the other side of the field, Lincoln Riley is 0-3 in bowl games as coach of Oklahoma. There’s a pretty good chance he gets off the schneid here as a +3 underdog!

Tuesday’s Alama Bowl game features the Texas Longhorns vs. the Colorado Buffaloes. The game opened at Tex -12.5 and has been bet down to -9.5. With the Buffs only playing five games this season and almost all their wins being vs. unimpressive opponents, the Horns could be in a smash spot here! Get Zman’s ATS prediction!

Many were surprised to see the Oregon Ducks be listed as +4.5 underdogs in the Fiesta Bowl against the Iowa State Cyclones. It’s well deserved though! Read Dan’s full preview and get his OR/ISU pick before placing your bets!

Interim Head Coach Kevin Steele takes over for the departed Gus Malzhan in a tough matchup vs. the underrated 14th ranked Northwestern Wildcats. NW has been a covering machine at 6-1-1 against the spread this season. Get Jay’s Aub/NW Citrus Bowl pick here!

Start your new year off with a bang betting Jay’s Chick Fil A Peach Bowl pick! Many bettors are forecasted to be on the wrong side of this matchup! Don’t be one of them!

An important variable to take into consdideration when handicapping and betting bowl games is to question if a team will be motivated or not. We believe the Badgers will “bring it” vs. Wake as the team is 4-1 in bowl games during the Paul Chryst era. Wake hasn’t played much football lately either, which should give Wisconsin an added edge! Get Ted’s full take and Duke’s Mayo Bowl prediction here!

When it comes to betting bowl games, it’s never a bad idea to back the team with the better defense! See who Zman is backing in the Cheez It Bowl between the Oklahoma State Cowboys and Miami Hurricanes!

The Ragin’ Cajuns are just three points away from a perfect regular season. They’ll try to build on that when they take on the Roadrunners on Saturday afternoon in the First Responder Bowl. The college football betting board has ULL posted as a -14 favorite with a total line of 55.5 points. Dan believes there may be some value in taking the points. Find out why.
