College Football Picks and Bets for December 28
Fenway Bowl: SMU vs. Boston College
11:00 am on ESPN
SMU to COVER the -10 point spread
SMU finished the 2023 season very strong, winning nine straight – including a huge conference championship victory over Tulane. Boston College is a 6-6 team about to run directly into a buzzsaw. This game is being played in Fenway Park – so the “home field advantage” for Boston College is the only thing that should make this game worth watching.

Pinstripe Bowl: Miami vs. Rutgers
2:15 pm on ESPN
Rutgers to WIN (-115)
This game should play like a home game for the Scarlet Knights. Miami is down to their third-string QB going into a hostile environment – and somehow are only 1.5-point underdogs. Pay a little bit of juice and take the “home” team to win this one.
Pop-Tarts Bowl: Kansas State vs. NC State
5:45 pm on ESPN
NC State to WIN (+120)
NC State is playing on a different level right now. They’ve won the past five games outright and against the spread. These wins include some big matchups, including wins over North Carolina and Clemson. Kansas State should play tough, but even if this was a coin flip, the best bet would be the underdog.
Alamo Bowl: Arizona vs. Oklahoma
9:15 pm on ESPN
Oklahoma to win (+130)
The Sooners starting QB will be sitting this one out, but don’t expect that to slow them down. Star recruit Jackson Arnold will be getting his highly-anticipated first start on the national stage. Oklahoma has a highly talented roster that should outlast Arizona here. Take the plus money on a talented team when you can get it.
