College football bowl season best bets: A play on the total in the Rose Bowl and more

New York Times  

The current landscape of the college football bowl season makes things really difficult for betting because there are coaching changes, players entering the transfer portal and players opting out. Worst line to bet: Under 41 Model projection: Miami 19.5, Rutgers 19.5 I am not a huge fan of betting Kentucky when they’re facing a team with a ton of talent, but, unfortunately, this number is just too high for what Clemson is going to be missing for this game. Worst line to bet: Missouri +3 Model projection: Missouri 25, Ohio State 22.5 I was half-temped to add Penn State against the spread, but they’re a little too pricey for me at the current number so instead of having action on the side and total, we settle for rooting for points. Worst line to bet: Over 49 Model projection: Penn State 28.3, Ole Miss 25.3 Alabama vs. Michigan over 44.5 This is a little too low for my liking.
