Bowl season is here and there's no better time of the year for college football bettors.
Whether you're a new bettor figuring out how to make a moneyline bet or a sharp bettor looking to pounce on a miscalculated betting line, the holiday season offers over 40 bowl games for you to bet on.
I finished the regular season 21-15-1 (after an 0-3 Week 0), so I'm good with how the results of my college football bets turned out this season. So, check out my best bets for the bowl season, before you scratch off anybody else off of your Christmas list!
(Note: Now, that it's time to bet the bowl season, I'm truly on the lookout for what teams I believe are (really) motivated to play in a bowl game, in addition to coaching changes and players who opt out and/or transferring. All key factors you should consider before making a bet on a college football bowl game.
Here are my best bets for the bowl season.
Thursday, Dec. 22
Lockheed Martin Air Forces Bowl: Air Force +6.5 (vs. Baylor) Can't really figure out why Baylor was made nearly a touchdown favorite in this bowl game. I also think the Bears facing tough competition towards the latter part of their regular season schedule, including playing No. 3 TCU and No. 21 Texas has something to do with the love they're getting from odds guys. But I'm siding with the Falcons (9-3), who will show up with one of the nation's best defensive units (allowing just 12.9 points per game). Air Force also eats up a lot of time and yards with a rushing attack gaining over 300 yards per game. There's also a fun fact in this bowl game, but I'm not giving it away.
Friday Dec. 30
Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl: Pittsburgh +3.5 (vs. UCLA): I tend to side with teams who have have strong defensive units, including in this spot as the Panthers (8-4) allowed just a tad under 100 rushing yards per game during the regular season. I also saw the Panthers put up as many points as the Bruins did by season's end. Pittsburgh gets it done, in what could turnout to be a one-sided track meet.
Monday, Jan. 2
Rose Bowl: Penn State +3 (vs. Utah): Here's another college football betting line I think is a bit off the mark. While I understand the Utes are coming off a conference championship game win against USC, I feel the Trojans were a bit inflated. So, I'm not sure I put too much value in Utah's multiple wins over USC this season, especially the last one which featured a very-limited Caleb Williams for the Trojans. Penn State has a very good defense and will be able to move the ball, namely on the ground, against an average Utah defense.
