Well, it’s that time of year again, ladies and gents. With December comes a seemingly endless consumption of Christmas movies and College Bowl games and this year it’s no different so let’s take a look at the schedule and odds for this year’s matchups.
This year we are treated to another batch of 41 games that will lead up to the the National Championship extravaganza taking place on January 8, 2024, at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.
After all the drama involving the CFP Committee and Florida State becoming the first Power 5 undefeated team to be left out of the playoffs, fans are counting the days until the Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl take place, to see if they made the right call.
With so much information flying around when it comes to players opting out for the NFL draft, coaches on the hot seat, or just good ol’ mismatches between low-profile teams and household names that can set up the table for an upset, it can get tricky.
For example, Ohio State went from being a 6.5 favorite to a 2.5-point favorite against Missouri, after news that QB Kyle McCord opted for the transfer portal. There are also doubts regarding the participation of Marvin Harrison Jr.
That’s why, at Bookmakers Review, we get you ready with this cheat sheet so you can access the latest college football odds for all 42 games in one stop, as well as computer predictions from our AI model.
