College football expert picks, predictions, parlay for bowl games on Dec. 29, 2022: Barrett Sallee's three best bets

When it comes to college football, there are few who 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.

Sallee debuted with SportsLine in 2017 and has delivered a profitable record. Over the past three-plus years, he is 124-118 in his popular best bets column. 

Now, he's turned his attention to the latest college football odds from Caesars Sportsbook and is revealing his three top plays for bowl action on Wednesday, Dec. 29. A parlay on these three picks would return around 6-1. 

We can tell you Sallee is backing Washington (+3) to cover against Texas in the Valero Alamo Bowl at 9 p.m. ET. 

"This spread has shot down since the moment that this game was announced, and it's because the world finally woke up and realized just how dangerous this Huskies offense is. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. led the nation in passing and Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers, while talented, hasn't topped the 200-yard mark since Oct. 22," Sallee said. "Penix will force Ewers into a shootout and Ewers won't be up for the challenge. Take the points but consider a money line sprinkle on this one."

Sallee has also found two other picks he loves, including one where he is expecting a coming-out party for a 2023 Heisman Trophy candidate! You ABSOLUTELY need to see his best bets before locking in any college football picks.
