The regular season for college football may be behind us, but there will be plenty of bowl games to watch over the next few weeks.
Bowl season begins on Saturday and ends early in January with the National Championship, which will see the winner of the Rose Bowl between Alabama and Michigan take on the winner of the Sugar Bowl between Washington and Texas.
Here are our 2023 college football bowl best bets for some of these exciting matchups.

LA Bowl Prediction
UCLA vs Boise State Prediction: Under 48.5 (-110)
Players entering the transfer portal has been a common trend ahead of bowl games again this year, and UCLA and Boise State have both been affected.
The most notable players not playing in this game are defensive end Laiatu Latu for UCLA and quarterback Taylen Green for Boise State.
- Stay up to date with the latest CFP National Championship odds.
With the Broncos not having their usual starting quarterback and the Bruins missing key starters on both sides of the ball, the Under looks enticing in this contest.
UCLA’s games went 10-2 to the Under during the regular season as its defense allowed only 18.08 points per game (15th-fewest in the nation).
Capital One Orange Bowl Prediction
Florida State vs Georgia Prediction: Georgia -14 (-112)
At the moment, it appears that Georgia could have most – if not all – of its usual contributors available in its upcoming showdown versus Florida State.
Quarterback Carson Beck looked more comfortable down the stretch despite losing to Alabama in the SEC Championship to miss out on the College Football Playoff.
- Get ready for the Rose Bowl with our Alabama vs Michigan predictions.
Meanwhile, Florida State remains without Jordan Travis at quarterback, putting it at a major disadvantage against a stout SEC opponent.
A Bulldogs defense that surrendered a mere 16.62 points per game (ninth-fewest in the nation) will overwhelm either backup Tate Rodemaker or Brock Glenn en route to a lopsided win for Georgia.
ReliaQuest Bowl Prediction
LSU vs Wisconsin Prediction: LSU -8.5 (-110)
It remains to be seen if Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels elects to suit up for LSU’s bowl game against Wisconsin.
Even if Daniels sits out, the Tigers are the much better team despite their defense bleeding points in bunches to anyone they play.
The Badgers didn’t have the debut season under Luke Fickell they expected, producing only 22.8 points per game.
Wisconsin registered a 4-6-2 ATS record during the season, while LSU went 8-4 ATS. Lay the points with the Tigers regardless of Daniels’ status.
Cheez-It Citrus Bowl Prediction
Tennessee vs Iowa Prediction: Under 36.5 (-112)
Where are the points coming from in this game to put the Over in danger of hitting?
While Tennessee posted a solid 31.5 points per game (40th in the country), Iowa’s defense allowed only 13.23 points per game (fourth-fewest in FBS).
- Get ready for the Sugar Bowl with our Texas vs Washington predictions.
At the same time, the Hawkeyes had one of the worst offenses in college football, notching the fourth-fewest points per game (16.6).
Iowa games were 2-11 to the Over this season, and the Under hit in the Hawkeyes’ last eight games.
TaxAct Texas Bowl Prediction
Oklahoma State vs Texas A&M Prediction: Oklahoma State ML (+114)
Texas A&M has undergone a few changes since the end of the season, including replacing head coach Jimbo Fisher with Mike Elko.
As a result of the coaching change, the Aggies have a handful of players who have elected to enter the transfer portal.
Oklahoma State should have most of its starters available, and you could have made the argument it was already the better team before Texas A&M changed things up.
The Cowboys were 7-6 ATS during the regular season, while the Aggies boasted a 5-6-1 ATS record.
