Kentucky lost six of its final eight games, but still earned a bowl berth. God bless the bowl system for finding place for a team that lost 63-5 against Florida. The fans at the Liberty Bowl will watch the East Carolina Pirates and the Kentucky Wildcats clash January 2.
Oddsmakers currently have the Pirates listed as 3-point favorites versus the Wildcats, while the game’s total is sitting at 41.
The Mississippi Rebels won’t get as much press and public betting as their opponent in this year’s Cotton Bowl. But beware Ole Miss as they battle the Texas Tech Red Raiders January 2. While the Red Raiders were highly ranked and their offense highly feared, the Rebels were quietly beating Auburn, Arkansas, LSU and Florida. Not bad for a team sitting as a TD underdog.
Oddsmakers currently have the Red Raiders listed as 4-point favorites versus the Rebels, while the game’s total is sitting at 65½.

The 2009 Cotton Bowl will be the last for the historic Cotton bowl which after this 73rd annual bowl will move to the new Texas Stadium. After being left out of the bcs picture they have to find new revenue streams thus moving to state of the art facility is mandated. This years game features another classic sec vs big 12 matchup. Texas Tech and Ole Miss are very different in styles and should create a hugely interesting matchup.
Oddsmakers also think this will be a very close game as Tech is only favored by four points.
This year’s Orange Bowl isn’t what online betting fans had in mind when they figured the Big East would battle the ACC. Online college football betting fans were probably thinking the BC Eagles from the ACC, although Virginia Tech isn’t bad, but Cincinnati from the Big East? Seriously? The Cincinnati Bearcats made it to the Orange Bowl by virtue of their 11 and 2 straight-up record. Among the teams they beat to get there were the West Virginia Mountaineers, ranked in the top twenty to start the season, the South Florida Bulls, Rutgers and Pittsburgh.
The Virginia Tech Hokies, ranked 16th nationally on defense, face the 11-2 Cincinnati Bearcats at Dolphin Stadium in the Orange Bowl on New Year’s Day.Cincy won 10 of 11 to end the year, while the Hokies rebounded from a tough mid-season stretch to win their final three games.
Oddsmakers currently have the Bearcats listed as 2-point favorites versus the Hokies, while the game’s total is sitting at 42.
A pair of 11-1 conference champions restore some luster to the Rose Bowl this year as the Big Ten champion Penn State Nittany Lions face the Pac 10 champion USC Trojans. Penn State has struggled ATS of late, losing three of four, while USC has been dominant on defense, allowing more than 10 points just twice in 12 games this year.
Oddsmakers currently have the Trojans listed as 9-point favorites versus the Nittany Lions, while the game’s total is sitting at 44½.
The fans at Florida Citrus Bowl will be treated to a possible defensive battle when the Michigan State Spartans and the Georgia Bulldogs clash January 1 for the Capital One Bowl. And Bulldog backers will be hoping for a victory to take the money-losing sting out of four consecutive ATS losses. Oddsmakers currently have the Bulldogs listed as 10-point favorites versus the Spartans, while the game’s total is sitting at 57.
The Clemson Tigers finished the season on a roll playing tough defense and the Nebraska Cornhuskers finished the year on a roll playing great offense.
Both will after a win January 1 when they meet at Municipal Stadium in the Gator Bowl.
It’s the start of the New Year and with that the signal that we are now getting to some of the best College Bowl Picks matchups of this season rendition of the “playoffs”. There has been some mild surprises thus far but none that I would consider an huge surprise. There’s been some exciting matchups and some not so exciting (just look at that yawner yesterday between Pitt and Oregon St).
The BCS Bowls start the New Year off with an online college football betting bang, as the big boys among the powerhouse schools take center and step into the spot light, while us bettors attempt to start 2009 by beating spreads and making money. New Year’s Day NCAA football wagering action is legendary and arguably the most anticipated day among the sports betting community, highlighted by the famed Rose Bowl.
The Rose Bowl, the granddaddy of them all, features two of the most storied programs in college football history as the Penn State Nittany Lions travel to the Coliseum to take on the USC Trojans. For sports betting fans, this is one of the more intriguing match-ups of the Bowl Season. Penn State was somewhat of a surprise this year going 11 and 1 straight-up and 7-3-1 against the BetUS online betting spread.
USC has a defense that has already become the stuff of legend. The Trojans have yielded just 7.8 points per game, and ranks first in total defense, first in pass defense, fifth in rushing defense (allowing 2.6 yards a carry) and has held ten different opponents to ten points or less.
BetUS NCAA Football Betting Odds: USC -9, Total 45
The Georgia Bulldogs wish that they were playing in the BCS Championship instead of the Capital One Bowl. The Bulldogs were ranked number one in almost every sports betting fans’ list to start the college football season, but nobody told the Florida Gators, Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
The Iowa Hawkeyes beat a lot of good teams this year, while the South Carolina Gamecocks seemed to lose to a lot of good teams. What does that mean January 1 when they meet at Raymond James Stadium in the Outback Bowl?
Oddsmakers currently have the Hawkeyes listed as 3½-point favorites versus the Gamecocks, while the game’s total is sitting at 43.
