Bowl season of the 2023 college football season kicks off on Saturday with a 7-game slate. It wraps up with the Independence Bowl between the California Golden Bears and Texas Tech Red Raiders. California surged into bowl qualification at 6-6 by ending the regular season on a 3-game winning streak. Texas Tech is also 6-6 and won 3 in a row before finishing with a loss at Texas.
Here is my Same Game Parlay for the festivities, which will be televised starting at 9:15'pm ET on ESPN. Also be sure to check out our full'California vs Texas Tech predictions.
