College Football Betting Preview: Non-New Year’s Six Bowl Games

numberFire has built comprehensive algorithms to pinpoint the bets with the highest probability of returning money, whether you are betting on the total, the spread, or the moneyline. For those new to numberFire, we use a five-star system to show which bets you should be targeting for any given game. Stars represent how much you should risk on a wager relative to what you would normally bet.

For example, if you would normally bet $110 to win $100 on a -110 spread wager, if we give a 3-star ranking, we suggest risking three times that amount: $330 to win $300.

Before we cover all of the major bowl games, here's a look at the best bets for the smaller matchups in this year's bowl season, according to our model. All advanced statistics are courtesy of the S&P individual team statistical profiles, except where noted.
