With the college football regular season and conference championship games in our rear view, it's time for the home stretch of the 2017 college football calendar: bowl season.

That means it's the home stretch for our college football expert panel, too. And there are some tight races left for supremacy in both our picks against the spread and straight up.

Over the course of bowl season, our nine experts will predict every remaining bowl game that has a spread (sorry Celebration Bowl). This week's picks cover bowls played from December 16-December 21, including a pair of games involving local schools: UNT's battle with Troy in the New Orleans Bowl and SMU's matchup against Louisiana Tech in the Frisco Bowl.
