Smart and the Bulldogs

Kirby Smart and his Georgia Bulldogs will look to finish the season once again with a win to wrap up the season. The big deal for Georgia has been their signal caller Carson Beck. He was sharp this season, with more than 3,700 yards throwing and 22 touchdowns. Beck is expected to play in this game after announcing he will return to Georgia.

His top target Brock Bowers is questionable to play in this game. He has practiced with the team during the bowl practices, but is preparing for the NFL Draft. Bowers led the team with six touchdown receptions. Dominic Lovett was strong for the Bulldogs this season with more than 570 yards receiving.

Georgia is always known for their ability to run the football. The Bulldogs saw Daijun Edwards finish the season with 11 touchdowns on the ground. The Bulldogs scored 38.4 points per game as a team in 2023.

 

New Look Seminoles

For the Florida State Seminoles, as they lost their quarterback Jordan Travis, and that is the reason they were not chosen to play in the College Football Playoff. The Seminoles still won their bowl game; allowing just six points in the game. But, with Travis out, Florida State’s offense suffered to just 15 points per game.

Florida State also will see Tate Rodemaker not play in this game. Rodemaker was the back up for Travis in those games, but he expects to transfer, and will not play in this game. Brock Glenn expects to get the start under center. Glenn threw just 25 passes all season.

Florida State’s Keon Coleman also will not play in this game. The former Michigan State star was outstanding, with 11 touchdowns. He is heading to the NFL Draft, along with Johnny Wilson.

 

Bulldogs and Seminoles

Two really good College Football teams. The Georgia Bulldogs are going to have a bit of a let down following not getting to the College Football Playoff. Florida State is really irritated, and are not going to be super excited to be playing in this game. They feel they should be playing on New Year’s Day.

But, look for a strong defense to get the job done. We are betting on the Florida State Seminoles to cover the spread in this game. The final bet for this game is the Georgia Bulldogs -16.5 over the Florida State Seminoles on Saturday!

Clemson is the Favorite, can they win the Bowl?

The No. 6 Tennessee Volunteers (10-2) and No. 10 Clemson Tigers (11-2) will face off in the College Football Orange Bowl in 2022. Both teams had excellent seasons, and they’ll be hoping to end them on a high note by winning the Orange Bowl.

With a record of 11-2 this year, the Tigers, under head coach Dabo Swinney, have performed admirably, including winning the ACC Championship against North Carolina 39-10. On the other hand, the Josh Heupel-led Volunteers will be seeking to finish on a high note after going 2-2 in their last four contests, including a 56-0 win over Vanderbilt in their last game.

Oddsmakers at Mybookie have listed the Clemson Tigers as 5 points (-110) favorites in this matchup. The Tigers will have NCAAF odds of -210 on the moneyline, while the Tennessee Volunteers will be +180 underdogs. Additionally, the total has been listed on Mybookie at 63.5 (-110) points.

 

Clemson Tigers Look to Cap Off 2022 Season with a Win

Having won the ACC title seven times in a row, Clemson will play in its seventh Orange Bowl game overall and its first since the College Football Playoff Semifinal in 2015. Clemson enters this matchup with 11 wins to their credit, including crushing North Carolina in the ACC Championship game.

The Cade Klubnik show is here to stay as the Freshman made a commanding entrance in the ACC Championship Game by tossing for 279 yards and a touchdown while also scoring on the ground. After unseating incumbent DJ Uigalelei, the Tigers’ offense should take off with unrelenting pressure to give Klubnik more reps. Clemson’s offense is led by Will Shipley, who has rushed for 1,110 yards and 15 touchdowns this season. Overall, Clemson is averaging 34.7 points per game.

A great defensive team, Clemson only allows 20.1 points per game, but they will be hindered without star pass rusher Myles Murphy who opted out to focus on the NFL draft.

 

Tennessee Volunteers Primed to Walk Away Losers

Tennessee will have a few players who decide not to play in the bowl game for a variety of reasons, similar to many other teams throughout the nation. Hendon Hooker, the quarterback, is the most noteworthy player. Hendon Hooker tore his ACL, terminating his season just before the season ended. Jalin Hyatt, winner of the Biletnikoff Award, and fellow receiver Cedric Tillman decided not to participate in order to concentrate on the NFL Draft.

Despite finishing the year 9-3 ATS, the Volunteers proved they had trouble keeping up with other teams without Hendon Hooker under center as they finished 2-2 straight up and against the spread in their last four contests.

 

Why the Tigers will Win the Orange Bowl

It will be intriguing to see who wins this game, which looks to be a thrilling contest between two highly regarded teams. The Volunteers have had a tremendous season up to this point, but they will be without its top quarterback Hendon Hooker and wide receivers Cedric Tillman and Jalin Hyatt in this matchup.

Not only is Clemson the healthier and more talented team in this matchup, but they don’t have as many questions surrounding their program as Tennessee. The Vols’ poor passing defense, which allows 287 yards per game, proved to be their downfall versus the Gamecocks. Cade Klubnik finally gets to showcase his skills, and despite some inexperience, it would seem that the Tigers are better positioned to profit from the situation.

Clemson is 3-1 ATS in their last four contests and they should easily cover this matchup and win the game convincingly.

Bowl Season Predictions (Orange, Citrus, Rose, Sugar) | College Football Betting Analysis

There are now just 2 weeks remaining in the college football regular season. After that, we will get the Conference Championship Games, which will lead us nicely into bowl season. There are a ton of bowl games every single year, with some certainly more glamorous than others, and while they may not all be great, bowl season represents a real opportunity to boost our bankrolls before the National Championship Game. It is possible to start making predictions on the big bowl games now, but it is worth noting that things will change in the final couple of weeks of the season, as the top 4 now will certainly not be the same. We are going to pick out 4 of the biggest bowl games and make College Football Bowl Betting predictions on who will land where, so let’s jump right in.

 

Orange Bowl – December 30

The Orange Bowl pits an ACC team against one of either of the SEC/Big Ten/Notre Dame. Given the year that the Irish have had, I believe we can rule them out of this one. The most obvious choice from the ACC for this one is the North Carolina Tar Heels, who are currently sitting at 9-1 on the season, as well as being 6-0 in conference play. As it stands now, their most likely opponent here would be the Alabama Crimson Tide, who are a disappointing 8-2 on the season, and perhaps a little lucky to be there.

 

Citrus Bowl – January 2

The Citrus Bowl pits an SEC team against a team from the Big Ten. If we start by looking at the SEC, the obvious pick would be the Ole Miss Rebels, who came close to winning the West Division this season. Over in the Big Ten, either Michigan or Ohio State will be in the playoffs, with the loser of their upcoming meeting dropping into a bigger bowl than this one. That, in my opinion, leaves the door open for the Penn State Nittany Lions to face off against the Rebels.

 

Rose Bowl – January 2

In this bowl, we have the Big Ten going against the PAC-12, and again I think we have a rather clear matchup here. The team that loses the Ohio State/Michigan game is almost certainly going to drop into the Rose Bowl. I have the Buckeyes winning that one, so let’s put the Michigan Wolverines in here. Who do they face? The Oregon Ducks saw their playoff come to an end last weekend, but I think this would be a nice reward for what has been a very decent season.

 

Sugar Bowl – December 31

Our final prediction is the Sugar Bowl, which pits the SEC against the Big 12, and again I think we have what looks to be a rather clear matchup. The LSU Tigers are heading to the SEC Conference Championship Game, but I think they are onto a beating at the hands of the Georgia Bulldogs. That will drop them out of playoff contention and into the Sugar Bowl, where they could possibly face the Kansas State Wildcats. This is another one that would be an intriguing matchup, but like we said earlier, all these predictions could change dramatically over the next 3 weeks.
