Bowl season is right around the corner!
Now that the regular season is behind us, bowl games officially get started this Friday. The postseason action gets started with the Bahamas Bowl between Buffalo and Charlotte to be followed by the Miami Beach Bowl between Kent State and Utah State Friday evening.

* GUHHHH, I hate these lines so much. So much “favorite -3.5 or -7.5” b.s., and the only space between SP+ and the line involves teams I don’t think SP+ has as good a read on.
