With the 2023 college football season wrapped up, we now get to feast on a jam-packed three weeks of bowl games!

The bowl schedule boasts 42 matchups from December 16 to January 1 (not including the national championship on Jan. 8).

Our sportsbook unveiled game lines for nearly all of the bowls Monday morning. All but one game (Celebration Bowl) has a spread, and there is a dozen or so that still don't have game totals.

And to no one's surprise, Iowa's matchup against Tennessee has created one of the lowest totals ever for a bowl game. Last year, Iowa and Kentucky had a 31.5-point total, which was tied for the lowest of any bowl since 2000 (and it went OVER with a 20-17 final).

This year, the Hawkeyes, who have played to the under eight straight games, have a 35.5-point total against the Vols, which is the second-lowest total during the last 22 seasons.

Finally, the Georgia-Florida State spread certainly shows you were the oddsmakers view the Seminoles after their CFP “snub.” Georgia opened as a 13-point favorite against FSU, and it has already moved to -14.

Bowl odds are extremely volatile so there are notes on which spreads have moved since opening.
