The 2019-20 bowl lineup is out with 39 games to watch over the next few weeks leading to the National Championship game in New Orleans on Monday January 13. LSU is the favorite to win it all as the Tigers face Ohio State in one of two college football playoff games on December 28.

During the holiday season, bettors have the opportunity to earn extra cash with "College Bowl Pick ‘em" contests where all you have to do is pick the winner, which isn’t as easy as it looks.

The most popular contest has you picking the winner of all 39 Bowl games and ranking them with confidence, starting with 39 as the most confident pick and counting all the way down to 1 as least confident.

The top pick in this contest is from the SEC, but it's not LSU. Florida squares off with Virginia in the Orange Bowl as the Gators are two-touchdown favorites. Florida's two losses this season came to LSU and Georgia away from Gainesville, while the Gators dominated Michigan in the Peach Bowl last season. Virginia is fresh off getting blown out by Clemson in the ACC title game and has one quality win this season against Virginia Tech.

The second most confident selection is Cincinnati, who in spite of losing in the AAC title game to Memphis, is a touchdown favorite against Boston College in the Birmingham Bowl. The Eagles are going through a coaching change, but won six times this season as a single-digit underdog. Cincinnati's three losses came to Memphis twice and Ohio State, while the defense allowed 17 points or less seven times.

Another AAC squad that didn't win the league title is high on the list with UCF, who takes on Marshall in the Gasparilla Bowl in Tampa. The Knights lost their bowl game to LSU last season in the Fiesta Bowl, ending a long winning streak. UCF went 2-7 ATS down the stretch, but the Knights are facing a Thundering Herd club that was limited to 14 points or less in two of three opportunities as an underdog.

Below are all 39 bowls ranked from 39-1. Happy Bowl Season!
