Jay Cooper’s 2022 College Bowl Predictions & Free Picks

The Bowl season is here and the Playoffs are set. Georgia, Michigan, TCU and Ohio State will play on New Year’s Eve for the right to play for the National Championship on Jan. 9. In the meantime, there are plenty of great Bowl matchups starting on Dec. 16.


We will post our picks in every Bowl game including the National Championship Game. Between so many players opting-out to prepare for the NFL Draft, injuries and head coaching changes, we are holding our picks back until about a day or two before the game. We want all the information we can get, but still give you enough time to place your wagers. Bookmark this page and keep checking back for your Bowl winners.
