It's easy to get overwhelmed amid the 40 bowl games that will be played between Dec. 19 and Jan. 2. But fear not, Insider is here to help.
We've asked our experienced group of gambling experts -- Phil Steele, Will Harris, "Stanford Steve" Coughlin, Chris Fallica, Warren Sharp and David Solar of Sports Insights -- to provide a bet on every bowl game.
If you're going to bet on a bowl game this season, this is the file you need to read. It will be continuously updated throughout bowl season with fresh information.
All game times listed are Eastern.

Valero Alamo Bowl
Oregon Ducks vs. TCU Horned Frogs (PK)
San Antonio, Texas | Alamodome

PickCenter consensus: 66 percent pick TCU
Steele: This game will be played in a dome, so the weather will be perfect, unlike the last time, when TCU took the field against Baylor in a downpour. Oregon's offense has been tremendous since Vernon Adams Jr. returned to full health. In the Ducks' past five games, they averaged 48.6 points and beat Stanford, USC and Arizona State in that span. TCU will be without its best wide receiver in Josh Doctson (left wrist), so Trevone Boykin will have to find a new favorite target.
One of TCU's losses was to Oklahoma on the road by one-point on a failed two-point conversion (missing Doctson and Boykin), while the other was on the road at Oklahoma State, a game in which the Frogs had a 207-yard edge.
Both teams are fairly even on offense and special teams, and despite TCU having a banged-up defense, the Horned Frogs still held their opponents to 32 yards per game below their season average. Oregon allowed 50 yards per game more than its opponents averaged this season. I'll side with the better defense and call for TCU to win.
ATS pick: TCU
Score: TCU 43, Oregon 36
Harris: Oregon played inspired ball after a miraculous overtime win at Arizona State, and turned a 3-3 start into a 9-3 campaign. But after beating USC in Week 12, the Ducks had made their point, and there's not that much to play for after that. The cracks showed in a 10-point win over heavily outmanned Oregon State, and now offensive coordinator Scott Frost has bolted for Central Florida.
At first blush this looks like two unstoppable offenses versus struggling defenses, but the Frogs' defense is the one that improved in November as it tried to prop up a wounded offense. The Ducks have an All-American in pass-rusher DeForest Buckner, but this unit is flat-lining under Don Pellum. TCU also enjoys a special teams advantage, as well as the 2015 bowl season's biggest coaching mismatch. TCU backers should expect to lay a field goal or more at kickoff.
