College Football Playoff
Championship Game

Monday, January 9

CFP National Championship
Winners of above matchups

SoFi Stadium (Inglewood, California)
7:30 p.m., ESPN

Both semi-final matchups featured a metric shit-ton of points on the board. Why expect anything else in this one? Two high power offenses with the potential to put up 100 points between them. You either bet the over or leave it alone. We’re taking the over and cheering for both offenses! Good luck

This total has crept up to 63.5, but we like it to 65

WINNER

Monday, January 2

ReliaQuest Bowl
Mississippi State vs. Illinois

Raymond James Stadium (Tampa, Florida)
Noon, ESPN2

Several key pieces of the Illini team, particularly offense are rumored to be opting out, but have yet to formally make a statement. With that info, plus the death of Miss State’s coach, I’ll take the points in a “win one for the Gipper” game.

Cheez-It Citrus Bowl
LSU vs. Purdue

Camping World Stadium (Orlando, Florida)
1 p.m., ABC

Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic
No. 10 USC vs. No. 16 Tulane

AT&T Stadium (Arlington, Texas)
1 p.m., ESPN

Rose Bowl Game
No. 8 Utah vs. No. 11 Penn State

Rose Bowl (Pasadena, California)
5 p.m., ESPN

Each team has one of the nation’s top cornerbacks opting out. 52 is a modest total to overcome with shorthanded defenses.

Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl
Louisiana vs. Houston

Independence Stadium (Shreveport, Louisiana)
3 p.m., ESPN

The Ragin Cajuns are down their top offensive and defensive players due to opting out for the draft. Even with those 2 players in the lineup, we’d still take the Cougars in this spot. Line has moved to -7, but should still be a win by 10+.

Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl
Wake Forest vs. Missouri

Raymond James Stadium (Tampa, Florida)
6:30 p.m., ESPN

Mizzou sustained heavy losses to injury and transfers on both sides of the ball for this game. In addition, they’ve lost their HC to a transfer as well. Wake lost a few support players, but the main components are in place for an easy cover here.

Saturday, December 24

EasyPost Hawai’i Bowl
Middle Tennessee State vs. San Diego State

Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex (Honolulu)
8 p.m., ESPN

Monday, December 26

Quick Lane Bowl

7:30 p.m., ESPN

Wednesday, December 21

R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl
Western Kentucky vs. South Alabama

Caesars Superdome (New Orleans)
9 p.m., ESPN

Leaning South Alabama on the spread as WKU has 13 opt-out/transfer portal players not playing in this one. One key defensive player and receiver, both TE, and 2 starters on the O-line. QB Austin Reed oddly enough transferred to Louisville and changed his mind and is back at WKU and will start. The total has risen to 57, which is still okay, but below 56 was where we liked this one.

Thursday, December 22

Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl
Baylor vs. Air Force

Amon G. Carter Stadium (Fort Worth, Texas)
7:30 p.m., ESPN

We loved Baylor at -4, but in the past couple of days they’ve had several starters opt out of this game and 2 others suspended. The majority of these players are on the defensive side of the ball, leaving them very thin at DB, though AF rarely airs it out, but also a couple of guys up the middle who would be key run-stoppers. Still give the edge to the Bears, but proceed with caution. They still have the better offense (though missing a couple on the O-line). The over has gotten more attractive at 43

RESULT: WIN & LOSE

Friday, December 16

Hometown Lenders Bahamas Bowl
Miami (Ohio) vs. UAB

Thomas A. Robinson National Stadium
(Nassau, Bahamas)
11:30 a.m., ESPN

WINNER

Duluth Trading Cure Bowl
UTSA vs. Troy

Exploria Stadium (Orlando, Florida)
3 p.m., ESPN

Result : LOSE

Saturday, December 17

Wasabi Fenway Bowl
Cincinnati vs. Louisville

Fenway Park (Boston)
11 a.m., ESPN

Both teams are decimated with injuries and opt-outs. Not to mention Louisville’s HC is moving to coach Cincy next season and won’t coach either team in the bowl game. Ugly game so we’ll take the points.

RESULT : Lose

SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl
Florida vs. Oregon State

Allegiant Stadium (Las Vegas)
2:30 p.m., ESPN

RESULT: Lose

Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl Presented by Stifel
Washington State vs. Fresno State

SoFi Stadium (Inglewood, California)
3:30 p.m., ABC

Fresno line has moved to -4 as almost every receiver for WSU is opting out. WSU is also without their OC. WSU is out of linebackers and it looks like they’ll have a safety starting at LB. Given this info, we’re still ok with the OVER pick, but I wouldn’t put my house on it or anything.

RESULT: Lose

LendingTree Bowl
Rice vs. Southern Miss

Hancock Whitney Stadium (Mobile, Alabama)
5:45 p.m., ESPN

New Mexico Bowl
SMU vs. BYU

University Stadium (Albuquerque, New Mexico)
7:30 p.m., ABC

BYU is without their #1 and 2 QB for this game according to our sources.

RESULT: Lose

Frisco Bowl
North Texas vs. Boise State

Toyota Stadium (Frisco, Texas)
9:15 p.m., ESPN

RESULT: Lose

Tuesday, December 27

Camellia Bowl
Georgia Southern vs. Buffalo

Cramton Bowl (Montgomery, Alabama)
Noon, ESPN

SERVPRO First Responder Bowl
Memphis vs. Utah State

Gerald J. Ford Stadium (Dallas)
3:15 p.m., ESPN

Utah State are down to their third stringer at QB AND RB. That’s gunna hurt. Their top 2 corners are also a question mark with injuries. Tiger time!

UPDATE: Initially opted out, the Aggies will have their starting RB1 for this game, but they are still stuck with QB3 and Memphis can key on the run and force them to throw. I like Memphis by a TD here.

TicketSmarter Birmingham Bowl
Coastal Carolina vs. East Carolina

Protective Life Stadium (Birmingham, Alabama)
6:45 p.m., ESPN

There is only 1 key offensive player opting out of this game, but there are several defensive starters missing this contest. Coastal Carolina already had a terrible defense, so you could hedge the over with an ECU -7 wager.

Guaranteed Rate Bowl
Wisconsin vs. Oklahoma State

Chase Field (Phoenix)
10:15 p.m., ESPN

An enormous list of injuries and opt-outs in this game on both teams, particularly on the offensive side of the ball.

Wednesday, December 28

Military Bowl Presented by Peraton
UCF vs. Duke

Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium (Annapolis, Maryland)
2 p.m., ESPN

AutoZone Liberty Bowl
Kansas vs. Arkansas

Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium
(Memphis, Tennessee)
5:30 p.m., ESPN

San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl
Oregon vs. North Carolina

Petco Park (San Diego)
8 p.m., Fox

We already liked the Ducks here before the starting corners for one of the worst defenses in the nation have opted out for this one. The Tarheels defense is atrocious and will surrender a metric shit ton of points in this one. The total of 72 is also worth a look, bear in mind that leading WR Downs is out for UNC.

LOSE

TaxAct Texas Bowl
Texas Tech vs. Ole Miss

NRG Stadium (Houston)
9 p.m., ESPN

LOSE

Thursday, December 29

Cheez-It Bowl
Oklahoma vs. Florida State

Camping World Stadium (Orlando, Florida)
5:30 p.m., ESPN

Too many key pieces opting out on the OU side of this game. FSU is largely intact.

2 p.m., CBS

Lose

TaxSlayer Gator Bowl
Notre Dame vs. South Carolina

TIAA Bank Field (Jacksonville, Florida)
3:30 p.m., ESPN

Rattler will be minus several key players on the offensive side of the ball for the Gamecocks, but we have a question mark at ND for QB in this one. If Buchner starts, we’ll make this a 3 unit play. If not, it remains a 2 unit throw in. You never know what Spencer Rattler you’re going to get, but take away 2 of his favorite targets and we’ll stay away from him or the over.

Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl
Ohio vs. Wyoming

Arizona Stadium (Tucson, Arizona)
4:30 p.m. – Barstool Sports app, YouTube, Twitter

Standout QB1 for Ohio U is out and it’s a steep drop-off in talent level. Wyoming, not exactly an offensive power, is decimated by transfers and injury, too. Wyoming will be without their top 4 running backs and top receiver. 6-3 Ohio

ARGH! This was a heartbreaker with a high scoring first quarter, we were close to still getting the under with less than minute left in the game and then OT 😛

Lose

Capital One Orange Bowl
No. 6 Tennessee vs. No. 7 Clemson

Hard Rock Stadium (Miami Gardens, Florida)
8 p.m. ET, ESPN

The loss of Hooker at QB is too much to overcome, let alone losing other key pieces to injury/transfer.

Lose — I was 100% wrong here.

Saturday, December 31

TransPerfect Music City Bowl
Iowa vs. Kentucky

Nissan Stadium (Nashville, Tennessee)
Noon, ABC

Sure, it’s backups galore at QB, but I’ll be damned if I take a college game to score less than 30 points

LOSE

Allstate Sugar Bowl
No. 5 Alabama vs. No. 9 Kansas State

Caesars Superdome (New Orleans)
Noon, ESPN

A mass exodus via the transfer portal for Alabama + the letdown of not playing in the CFP could prime them for a less-than-stellar performance in this spot. K State won’t mind getting fired up to beat the Tide on New Years Eve.

LOSE

Saturday, December 31

CFP semifinal at the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl
No. 2 Michigan vs. No. 3 TCU

State Farm Stadium (Glendale, Arizona)
4 p.m., ESPN

CFP semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl
No. 1 Georgia vs. No. 4 Ohio State

Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta)
8 p.m., ESPN

The Dawgs are too strong and the Buckeyes are dealing with injury and team-identity issues after getting pummeled at home by Michigan.
