Bowl season has already been kind to us in the form of exciting online betting matchups and outcomes, and some of the best are still to come. That includes both the BBVA Compass Bowl and the GODADDY.com Bowl, which both go Saturday with some intriguing matchups that are worth tuning in to.

BBVA Compass Bowl
Pittsburgh Panthers vs. Ole Miss Rebels (-3)
Saturday, 1:00 PM ET

The Panthers have made the Compass Bowl their go-to postseason home, with this their third-straight trip to Birmingham, Alabama. The difference this time around is that for the first time in the three-straight years they have qualified for this game, Pittsburgh will actually have the same coach on the sidelines that has led them all season, with Paul Chryst set to stay on through next season.

The Boise State Broncos' current head coach used to be the employer of the Washington Huskies' current defensive coordinator. This will form the backdrop for a very interesting bowl battle.

Washington Huskies vs. Boise State Broncos – Saturday, December 22

When venturing into the realm of sport betting online, you're going to find it hard to bet against the Boise State Broncos in this game. Various bookies in the United States will like the fact that the Broncos attained a 10-2 season in 2012 despite losing quarterback Kellen Moore and running back Doug "Muscle Hamster" Martin, who has made a splash in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Head coach Chris Petersen has built something special in Boise, creating the kind of program that can still succeed and win a share of the Mountain West Conference championship in a down year. Recent 5dimes.com reviews have reason to value the Broncos for a number of reasons. Just look at their overall profile.

As the football betting days of December continue to wind down and the BCS Championship game approaches, the postseason action will continue with bowl games to look forward to this weekend across the nation. Here is a quick look at each of those 5Dimes contests.

Central Florida Knights (-7) vs. Ball State Cardinals
Friday, 7:30 PM ET

The weekend kicks off with the Cardinals looking to carry over the momentum of a six-game win streak after taking the at-large spot created when the Big East could not fill its guaranteed spot. Ball State enters this game playing with a lot of confidence, and should have the edge in intangibles with UCF coming off a heartbreaking loss to Tulsa in the Conference-USA title game. The Knights allowed Tulsa to complete the season sweep with the overtime loss, and while they may be able to salvage a postseason win to help ease that defeat, they will have a tough time covering against a strong Cardinals’ team that is making its first postseason appearance since 2008.
