Betting on college football bowl season

The model simulates every FBS game 10,000 times, and it is 31-19 on its top-rated college football money-line picks since the beginning of the 2024 season. Anybody following its college football betting picks at sportsbooks and on betting sites could have seen strong returns.

Oregon -2.5 vs. Texas Tech (-108)

The Ducks are coming off a 51-34 rout of James Madison in the first round, where most of the points allowed came in garbage time. They'll have the College Football Playoff experience edge over the Red Raiders after making it last year, and that could be the difference with both teams fielding incredibly talented rosters. The model predicts that Oregon covers the spread in 58% of simulations.

Alabama +7 vs. Indiana (-115)

The Hoosiers have earned their status as the top-seeded team in the CFP, beating Oregon on the road during the regular season and beating Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game. However, Alabama just avenged a regular-season loss to Oklahoma and finds itself in the rare position of being underestimated here. The Crimson Tide won two of their three games so far this season as underdogs outright, and the Hoosiers are only 6-5 against the spread as favorites this season. Alabama covers in 62% of the model's simulations.

Ole Miss +6.5 vs. Georgia (-104)

This is a rematch of a regular-season matchup that the Bulldogs won 43-35, but they were playing at home and needed a 17-point run in the fourth quarter to pull off the comeback. Now they'll head to New Orleans, where the Rebels should have far better representation. Ole Miss had a clear chip on its shoulder in a 41-10 rout of Tulane in the first round after Lane Kiffin left the program high and dry to take the LSU job, and a chance to avenge the only loss of the season weighs heavily. The model predicts that Ole Miss covers in 57% of simulations.

Responsible gaming

It's important for bettors to understand responsible gaming and not fall into dangerous habits such as chasing losses. Sportsbooks offer tools such as time and wager limits to help out their users in this regard. Bettors can also use national resources like The National Council on Problem Gaming, Gamblers Anonymous, and 1-800-GAMBLER.
