College Football Bowl Pick-Em

3 minute read

The 2022 College Football Bowl Season begins this week in college football with 41 bowl games over the next few weeks prior to the National Championship game on Monday, January 9 in Inglewood, California at SoFi Stadium.

A fun way to follow this plethora of bowls is to go through a Pick-Em Contest, which is basically a confidence scale from 41 to 1. The point of this activity is very simple, as the more confidence you have in a team to win, the higher the point number to assign that club.

College Football Top Bowl Picks

*Based on Confidence
**Moneyline listed in Parenthesis

1. LSU (-365) over Purdue
2. Marshall (-350) over UConn
3. Oregon State (-260) over Florida
4. UAB (-430) over Miami-Ohio
5. Minnesota (-300) over Syracuse

Looking at this season's bowl slate, the highest confidence is selection at 41 is LSU, who faces off with Purdue in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl in Orlando.

The Tigers have jumped to a double-digit favorite after Purdue's coach Jeff Brohm exited to take the job at Louisville. LSU also looks to avoid a four-game losing streak to end the season after dropping the SEC championship to Georgia.

College Football Bottom Bowl Picks

*Based on Confidence
**Moneyline listed in Parenthesis

1. Maryland (-120) over N.C. State
2. Kansas (+125) over Arkansas
3. UCF (-102) vs. Duke
4. UTSA(+105) vs. Troy
5. Buffalo (+140) vs. Georgia Southern

While there are plenty of high point-spreads this bowl season, we also have some short numbers and those games are never easy to handicap.

Buffalo is offering a solid moneyline return at 7/5 odds (Bet $100 to win $140) in its Camellia Bowl matchup versus Georgia Southern. The Bulls stumbled down the stretch but a late win in a makeup game helped the school earned this bid and we believe a victory will follow in its postseason matchup.

Listed below are all 41 of my picks for the College Football Bowl season along with its confidence number.
