Bowl season is here!

If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance that you’re planning on getting in on the action. That is, the gambling action.

Our Saturday Football crew of Chris Marler, Bob Wankel and myself (Connor O’Gara) want to help you make some money this postseason. Throughout bowl season, we’ll be releasing weekly episodes on how we’d bet the bowls. That means against the spread, confidence pool, props, live betting, etc.

In our first episode, we broke down the gambling angles for all 22 Power 5 non-New Year’s 6 Bowls. In our second, we dug into all of the non-Playoff New Year’s 6 Bowls.

Here’s our breakdown of Mizzou and Ohio State ahead of the Cotton Bowl:

We also broke down the Orange Bowl, the Fiesta Bowl and the Peach Bowl.

Next week, preview the gambling angles from the 2 Playoff semifinal games the following week and we’ll do a CFP National Championship betting special ahead of that showdown, as well.

For the audio-only crowd, you can also subscribe to Saturday Football Uncensored and The Saturday Down Podcast and get all of those bonus episodes throughout bowl season.
