The 2024-25 bowl season is almost upon us. Beginning on Saturday, Dec. 14 and lasting all the way through Monday, Jan. 20 and the College Football Playoff National Championship, fans will be drip-fed an almost constant barrage of postseason clashes pitting schools from around the nation against one another.
Adding to the feast is the 12-team College Football Playoff. Though the first-round games technically are not bowl games with the 5-8 seeds hosting games at on-campus sites, they obviously still count towards the postseason feast. Obviously, there's a lot on the line as teams scramble to keep their national championship hopes alive and lock down a spot in the quarterfinals, which will be hosted by games among the former New Year's Six slate.
As one might expect, there's plenty of betting opportunity when bowl season rolls around. Lines are set early for every bowl game, but between the transfer portal, coaching changes and opt outs for the NFL Draft, there could be a lot of change between now and when the games are actually played.
Not that getting your parlays in order early is bad business. There's plenty of major games already set, like the ReliaQuest Bowl between Michigan and No. 11 Alabama, or the Pop-Tarts Bowl featuring No. 18 Iowa State and No. 13 Miami.
Here's a deep dive into the lines for every bowl game coming up over the course of the next month-plus.
