Bowl Game Point Spreads: LSU opens as small favorite over Baylor


The 2024-25 College Football bowl games matchups are official.

A few things stood out to me in this first year of the 12-Team College Football Playoff.

  1. We don’t know the matchups yet for New Year’s Day. It feels odd.
  2. There are a few matchups of teams just outside the playoff that are playing teams they should maul. Thinking Ole Miss vs Duke and Alabama vs Michigan.
  3. I wish the oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag could set odds on how many players will opt out of the bowl games! In fact, I will ask them now.

However, as always, the oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag got the Bowl Game lines out quickly.

Bowl game lines are subject to change. Here’s the direct link to real-time spreads: https://www.betonline.ag/sportsbook/football/ncaa.
