Six games remain in the college football season with five set for New Year's Day, followed by the CFP title game on Jan. 8, 2024, in Houston.

The playoff semifinals headline the New Year's Day schedule and No. 1 Michigan is a 2-point favorite against No. 4 Alabama in one of the semifinal matchups, while No. 3 Texas is -3.5 against No. 2 Washington in the other, according to the latest college football bowl odds via SportsLine consensus, while the over/under in those matchups is 45 and 62.5, respectively (see more college football lines right here).

One thing we can tell you: Marshall is backing No. 13 LSU (-9) to cover against Wisconsin in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Jan. 1 at noon ET. He also likes the Over (57.5) in that matchup

"Brian Kelly has covered in last three bowls at Notre Dame and LSU," Marshall said. "Wisconsin went 8-3 Under in last 11 this season, though the Tigers were Over 11-1 in 2023 and over 18-2 since mid 2022. LSU also 6-1 vs. spread down stretch in '23."
