There are some very close games slated to take place during this Bowl season. LSU vs Louisville, for instance, is a pick'em, while TCU is a slender 1 1/2 point favorite to defeat Georgia in the Liberty Bowl.
There are, of course, some games that are expected to be very lopsided as well.
The biggest favorite of them all this Bowl season, at least according to the bookmakers, is Alabama against Washington in one of the playoff semi-final games.
Alabama, which is the #1 team in the nation, is currently a 14 point favorite to defeat Washington. Alabama is the #1 team in the nation for a reason, as they seemingly have no weaknesses and are the overwhelming favorites to win another college football national title.
The other semi-final game, on the other hand, has Ohio State as a field goal favorite over Clemson. While Clemson and Ohio State are expected to battle it out tooth-and-nail, Alabama is expected to coast against Washington.
