College Football 2023 Bowl Schedule, Matchups and Odds

Ahead of the college football 2023 bowl season, I posted the bowl schedule, matchups and odds in my coverage in Forbes. I’ve added the schedule below with opening lines, and note the lines and totals change, often dramtically.

I’m adding the results as completed, and you can follow the college football 2023 bowl schedule and odds, and also check out any college football bowl picks and other information you can bet on that I post here and at OSGA.

I’ll also be in Arizona over Chrismas and have media access to see a pair of Mountain West teams. The Guaranteed Rate Bowl is one of three games on Tuesday, Dec. 26 and I’ll be at Chase Field to see UNLV tackle Kansas. I’ll also be at the Arizona Bowl in Tucson for Wyoming vs. Toledo as one of four games on Saturday, Dec. 30. Between those bowl games there are four bowl games each day on Dec. 27, 28 and 29 for college football fans to watch and wager on as football fills the schedule from Christmas through the New Year.
