The bowl season ramps up Tuesday with five games, including a CFP tilt. Three of those games fit Action PRO betting systems, and all three are catching money from respected bettors.
Two of our postseason-only college football models show that three games match situational angles, with valuable predictions against the spread.
Utilizing sharp-action insights and other key betting filters, these bowl matchups were alerted based on significant bowl stats and patterns:
- Louisville vs. Washington
- Illinois vs. South Carolina
- Baylor vs. LSU
Let me explain the sharp side for all three picks, plus get access to both 70%- and 62%-winning bowl PRO Systems (and more) for the rest of the college football season!
Bowl Game Odds, Picks Tuesday: 3 Smart Spread Predictions
First up, we have Louisville (-1.5) vs. Washington in the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl.
A 57% trend has been, dare I say, grrrrr-eat at picking teams to cover bowl games under unique circumstances.
Here’s how the model theory works: When a bowl game over/under is less than 54.5 and the underdog is attracting less than 40% of the ticket in PRO public betting splits, the underdog has covered about 57% of the time since tracking.
This trend is titled “Bowl Season Betting Against.”
The sharp side is Washington +1.5 — the Huskies are getting just 38% of tickets — considering the bowl game over/under is set at 49.5.

PRO Systems Pick: Washington to Cover
In the 3 p.m. ET Cheez-It Citrus Bowl between Illinois and South Carolina, multiple systems favor the Fighting Illini (+10).
Illinois is bringing in just 30% of bet slips for Tuesday, which features an over/under of 49.5 — another hit for “Bowl Season Betting Against.”
The second PRO System, “Sharp Money Bowl Games” is also live on Illinois to cover the spread. When a bowl spread’s garnering less than 34% of tickets, and the line moves the other way, the unpopular side from the public has covered about 70% since tracking!

PRO Systems Pick: Illinois to Cover
“Sharp Money Bowl Games” also points to Baylor (-4) vs. LSU in the Texas Bowl.
Baylor’s receiving the appropriate amount of tickets (19%), plus the line continues to climb.
PRO Systems Pick: Baylor to Cover
All three picks are backed by PRO Systems, and all three are generating the Sharp Action signal in PRO.
