The 2023 bowl predictions from BSSR have returned for the 2023-24 bowl season after a two-year hiatus. For this season, we shortened it by only picking the games after Christmas, which feature more Power 5 teams that we are more familiar with as a group.
While in the past we simply picked the winners straight up, we're also switching things up by picking each game against the spread. We'll see if we're as effective at picking out-of-conference matchups as we were at picking games in the SEC this season. If you missed my analysis of this year's BSSR SEC Betting Challenge and want to check it out to decide if you can trust our bowl picks, click here.
Hopefully your team will win if they made a bowl this year (and if they still have players on the roster who haven't transferred or declared for the NFL draft). But even if they don't, you can tail our consensus picks to win some money as you head into the new year.
