For those  glued to the TV screen watching college football bowls this week we have a few picks that could make your last day of the year just a little more cheerful.

That’s even more the case if you have a little money on the outcome. Bowl season is a great time for sports bettors, as there’s a game almost every night of the week and the lines are out for all of them.

The only games of any consequence to the national championship picture, of course, are the College Football Playoff semifinals, which this year take place at the Cotton Bowl and the Orange Bowl which were on Dec. 29.

But we have a few of the top SmartBETS with some sharp picks for those who want to start off the new year quadrupling their betting money.

Liberty Bowl: Missouri (8-4, 7-5 ATS) vs. Oklahoma State (6-6, 6-6 ATS)

3:45 p.m. ET, Dec. 31, Memphis, Tennessee, ESPN

Odds Provided by BetDSI.com

Missouri Tigers                                  -9                     -350        ov 74½
Oklahoma State  Cowboys               +9               +290        un 74½

The Missouri Tigers are the favorites  in this game by 9 points, with the game total at 74½.

Missouri Tigers                      8-4, 7-5 ATS, 6-5 O-U
Oklahoma State  Cowboys   6-6 SU, 6-6 ATS,  7-4 O-U

Both teams rank in the nation’s top 20 in scoring offense and total offense and have prolific quarterbacks Taylor Cornelius for Oklahoma State and Missouri ‘s Drew Lock, who could be a first-round NFL draft pick..

The lean here is for the Missouri Tigers. The Tigers have improved defensively throughout the year and have a more balanced offense.
Lock is the headliner, but Missouri has quite a running game as well,

Oklahoma State passes much more than it runs, and running back Justice Hill has decided to skip the game to prepare for the NFL draft.

So look for Missouri to end its season with a fifth straight win and their fourth by a comfortable margin — in a game that will be high-scoring but probably not quite as high-scoring as that 74½ points suggests.
