College football expert bowl picks, predictions, parlay for Dec. 27, 2023: Barrett Sallee's three best bets

When it comes to college football, few deserve the "expert" tag quite like Barrett Sallee. The CBS Sports writer and analyst hosts shows on SiriusXM College, writes for CBSSports.com and appears regularly on CBS Sports HQ as well as countless radio shows across the nation as a guest. 

Now, he's turned his attention to the college football bowl odds (see the latest college football lines for each game this week on our college football odds page) and is revealing his three top plays for Wednesday, Dec. 27. A parlay of these three picks would return around 6-1!

We can tell you Sallee is backing Tulane (+10.5) in the 2023 Military Bowl at 2 p.m. ET to kick off Wednesday's action. 

"It'd be one thing to lay double digits in a massive mismatch, but it is an entirely different thing to lay double digits with a team that is average at best. That's why it's smart to take the Green Wave here," Sallee said. "Sure, the coaching switch might play a small part, but Tulane's offensive line is more than enough to keep things close even without some offensive skill position firepower."

Sallee has also found two other college football picks he loves, including backing a team he's expecting to come in angry. He is expecting them to come in "fired up" as an underdog, so you ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any college football picks.
