The 2022-23 college football bowl season kicked off on Friday, Dec. 16 and will run through Jan. 2, 2023, followed by the College Football Playoff title game between No. 1 Georgia and No. 3 TCU on Jan. 9. 

Before making any college football picks during the 2022-23 bowl season, be sure to see what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say. 

The SportsLineProjection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Over the past six-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated a stunning profit of almost $2,500 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. Anyone who has followed it has seen HUGE returns.  

Now, it has studied the latest college football odds from Caesars (see the latest college football lines for each matchup this week on our college football odds page), simulated every single play for every bowl game, and the results are in. 

One of the college picks the model is high on during bowl season: No. 8 USC cruises to a win against No. 14 Tulane as a 2.5-point favorite in the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 2. USC had a chance to make an appearance in the College Football Playoff prior to losing to Utah in the Pac-12 title game, so the Trojans still put together a fantastic campaign. 

They went 11-1 during the regular season, beating a pair of ranked opponents during that stretch. Tulane only faced one Power 5 team this season, so the Green Wave are going to have trouble contending with USC's talent. The Trojans are covering the spread almost 60% of the time.

The model has also made the call on who wins and covers in every other FBS matchup, and it's calling for multiple underdogs to win outright!

So which college football teams should you back in the bowl games? And which underdogs win outright? ... Join SportsLine now to see who wins and covers every single game, all from the model that has returned almost $2,500 in profit on top-rated ATS picks over the past six-plus seasons!
