The holidays bring us one of the most joyous times of year: Bowl season. Obviously. From Dec. 16 to Jan. 2, there will be near-continuous college football action spanning the entire country. With eight games in the first two days, the postseason will waste no time getting things kicked off. After a brief break for Christmas, the action kicks into high gear again with 20 bowl games -- nearly half the slate -- coming between Dec. 27 and New Year's Eve, culminating with the College Football Playoff semifinals.
And with bowls come investment opportunities. The postseason landscape has been made more difficult to predict with the arrival of the transfer portal, early NFL Draft declarations and coaching changes. Early lines have been set, but expect to see plenty of changes and swings as these games draw closer.
Caesars Sportsbook has released lines for all of the bowl games this season, including the College Football Playoff. No. 1 Georgia is a 6.5-point favorite over No. 4 Ohio State in the Peach Bowl. No. 2 Michigan is 9-point favorite over No. 3 TCU in the Fiesta Bowl. Let's take a look at all of the bowl game odds in order to prepare you for your holiday fun.
