When it comes to college football, few deserve the "expert" tag quite like Barrett Sallee. The CBS Sports writer and analyst hosts shows on SiriusXM College, writes for CBSSports.com and appears regularly on CBS Sports HQ as well as countless radio shows across the nation as a guest. 

Now, he's turned his attention to the college football bowl odds (see the latest college football lines for each game this week on our college football odds page) and is revealing his three top plays for Friday, Dec. 29. A parlay of these three picks would return around 6-1!

We can tell you Sallee is backing Notre Dame (-6) in the 2023 Sun Bowl at 2 p.m. ET on Friday as the Irish take on Oregon State.

"Opt-outs and transfers will play a big part in this one, but the overall team talent on the Fighting Irish roster will turn this one into a laugher," Sallee said. "They will dominate the line of scrimmage against a Beavers team that lost coach Jonathan Smith to Michigan State following the end of the regular season."

Sallee has also found two other college football picks he loves, including backing one underdog in Friday's action. He is expecting this bowl game to "hinge on the motivation factor," so you ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any college football picks.
