Courtesy of Adam Kramer (@KegsnEggs), here is your guide to college bowl season and the betting lines. Click here to see the rest of the lines over at his main blog.
At first blush, three underdogs I like in their respective games: Notre Dame, Oklahoma, and Kansas State.
And three favorites I like to cover: Stanford, LSU, TCU

It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
Bowl point spreads are out, and we now have lines on every matchup (minus one, because Navy plays this weekend) to look over for the next month or so. If you’re a football nerd or degenerate gambler (or both!), Christmas came early.
These lines come courtesy of the LVH – the artist formerly known as the Las Vegas Hilton – and they are expected to move around a bit over the next few hours, days, and weeks. These openers do, however, give you an idea what Vegas is thinking when it comes to these games.
Enjoy.

Go Tree! And Irish! And of course Wolf Pack 🙂
LSU will beat Clemson by eleventy billion points. I think.
Sticking by my call from a couple of months ago that Alabama will flat out stinkhole Notre Dame. Bama’s D was getting worn down by the end of year grind. But give Nicky Saban 6 weeks (or whatever) to prepare and he’ll shut down anybody. Look at what they did to LSU last year.
Eddie Lacy and TJ Yeldon are going to make Manti look like a bitch.
