The features 40 bowls, and that means there are 40 opportunities to savor college football before we have wait until September to watch again. Sporting News' Bill Bender will pick all 40 games, beginning with the R+L Carrier New Orleans Bowl on Dec. 16 all the way to the College Football Playoff championship game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Jan. The College Football Playoff semifinals also return to New Year's Day with Oklahoma and Georgia the Rose Bowl Game and Clemson and Alabama at the Sugar Bowl. MORE: How did we do during the regular season? Bender finished 108-31 (.777) straight up and 74-65 (.532) against the spread. How will that fare over the always-unpredictable bowl season? Let's find out. College football bowl picks Here are all 40 bowl picks (point spreads provided courtesy of as of Dec. 5; lines reflect consensus picks unless noted). R+L Carrier New Orleans Bowl: North Texas vs. Troy (-5.5) When: Dec. (ESPN) Why to watch: Troy can win seven straight and cap off an impressive 11-win season under coach Neal Brown, an up-and-coming coach who will move up soon. SN pick: Troy wins 34-20 and covers the spread AutoNation Cure Bowl: Georgia State vs. Western Kentucky (-5) When: Dec. 16, 2:30 p.m. (CBSSN) Why to watch: WKU quarterback Mike White, who has 61 touchdown passes the last two seasons, might get a look at the next level. SN pick: Western Kentucky wins 38-30 and covers the spread Las Vegas Bowl: Boise State vs. Oregon (-8) When: Dec. 16, 3:30 p.m. (ABC) Why to watch: Boise State won this bowl three straight years from 2010-12, and the Broncos can get a leg up on the Group of 5 with a victory here. We still like Oregon. The Ducks ranked eighth in the FBS with 268.0 rushing yards per game, and they roll without Royce Freeman. SN pick: Oregon wins 35-28 but fails to cover the spread Gildan New Mexico Bowl: Colorado State (-5.5) vs. Marshall When: Dec. 16, 4:30 p.m. (ESPN) Why to watch: Green uniforms for everyone. Quarterbacks Chase Litton and Nick Stevens can play, but we like a Thundering Herd defense that allowed just 19.2 points per game this season. That makes the difference late. Enjoy Biletnikoff finalist Michael Gallup, too.
