Upset Picks for College Football Bowl Season: Your Guide to the Best Underdog Bets

College Football Bowl Season is approaching. Oklahoma State Cowboys are an underdog against Wisconsin Badgers. The bowl games are some of the toughest to handicap. The odds are higher for the bowl matches. There are several variables to consider, including motivation, NFL draftee opt-outs and early transfer portal entrants.

Florida, Oklahoma State, Washington and Boston College are the college football bowl game upset bets.

Florida is playing Oregon State in the Las Vegas Bowl. Florida's defense was one of the worst in college football this season. Oregon's offense is weak, especially since Ben Gulbranson took over for injured Chance Nolan. Jack Miller is the new probable starter for Florida. The Beavers lost last year's bowl game as seven-point favorites to Utah State.

Oklahoma State is playing in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl against Wisconsin. The Cowboys are without their starting quarterback Spencer Sanders and the Badgers have lost their quarterback Graham Mertz. Wisconsin recently hired Luke Fickell as the head coach after firing Paul Chryst. Oklahoma State knows who its head coaches are and has a track record of being successful as betting underdogs.

Washington is playing in the Alamo Bowl. Texas is in its first postseason since 2020. Washington's quarterback Michael Penix Jr. announced he would skip the NFL Draft and return in 2023.

Washington's defensive ability to limit Texas running back Bijan Robinson looms large. Texas signal caller Quinn Ewers and the Longhorns' passing attack can do damage against Washington's secondary.
