When it comes to college football, few deserve the "expert" tag quite like Barrett Sallee. The CBS Sports writer and analyst hosts shows on SiriusXM College, writes for CBSSports.com and appears regularly on CBS Sports HQ as well as countless radio shows across the nation as a guest. 

Now, he's turned his attention to the college football bowl odds (see the latest college football lines for each game this week on our college football odds page) and is revealing his three top plays for Saturday, Dec. 23. A parlay of these three picks would return around 6-1!

We can tell you Sallee is going Under 44.5 in the 2023 Birmingham Bowl at noon ET. 

"The Blue Devils offense hasn't clicked without Riley Leonard under center, and the Trojans have gone through a coaching change that could make this one ugly," he said. "More importantly, though, is the fact that both of these defenses have been solid for the majority of the season. Toss in what could be some chilly weather in Birmingham and you have the perfect recipe for a sloppy game."

Sallee has also found two other college football picks he loves, including fading a team he's lost all faith in. He says it is "one of the best bets of bowl season," so you ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any college football picks.
