2020-21 Bowl Season: #CFB Picks from Stanford Steve & The Bear!

Here is the current edition of the Stanford Steve & The Bear podcast along with their picks. They ran through a ton of games and it was unclear what their official picks are. They also didn’t specify lines for most of these games so I’m not even going to attempt to speculate. I’m telling you which side they like, and you can do what you want with it.

DISCLAIMER: The following are the unofficial bowl picks as presented in the Stanford Steve & The Bear podcast, and if you need the specifics you’ll need to listen to the podcast.  These are not their official picks.  Their official picks are found on ESPN Chalk.
