2022 Peach Bowl Overview
At the beginning, the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl debuted in 1968. This bowl matchup has conference tie-ins with the ACC and the SEC. The online betting bowl takes place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. Previously, the venues for this contest were Grant Field and Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium.
This bowl was named the Peach Bowl from 1968-1996. Chick-Fil-A acquired sponsorship rights in 1997. The Peach Bowl is part of the College Football Playoff rotation. Thus, it hosted two semifinal matchups played in 2016 and 2019.
Specifically, underdogs fared well from 2012 until 2018 by posting a 5-2 ATS mark. Including outright wins by Houston in 2015, UFC in 2017, and Florida in 2018. However, LSU was a 12.5-point chalk that routed Oklahoma 63-28 in the 2019 College Football Playoff Semifinals. In 2020, Georgia edged Cincinnati, as the Bearcats cashed, catching seven and a hook. Next, in the 2021 installment, the underdog probably should have cashed. But Michigan State had a pick-six with 22 seconds left to take a 31-21 lead over Pittsburgh, a team catching three points. Indeed, it was a classic bowl season bad beat.
Overall, the LSU Tigers have the most Peach Bowl wins at six as a Southeastern Conference powerhouse. The nearby Auburn Tigers are also a natural fit, with a record of 4-2 in the Peach Bowl.
