Betting Preview: Chick-Fil-A Bowl Odds

Chick-Fil-A Bowl – Wednesday, December 31, 2008 7:30 PM ET

Bowl Preview By: Matt Fargo

The Betting Numbers

Georgia Tech opened as a 3.5-point favorite at most shops with a scattering of a few at -4 as well as a couple at -2.5. Right away, there was a perfect middling opportunity for those who were able get those numbers. The number has now settled in between -4 to -4.5 and there has been very little movement over the last two weeks. We could see this number increase as we get closer to kickoff. There has been a lot of recent movement in the total however as the opening number of 49 and 50 stayed put for a while but has gone up to as much as 53 in some outlets over the last week.

Betting Preview: Humanitarian Bowl Odds

Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl – Tuesday, December 30, 2008 4:30 PM ET

Bowl Preview By: Matt Fargo

The Betting Numbers

This line has stayed pretty stable since Nevada opened as a one-point favorite. There has been some recent movement but that has been just a half-point in the Terrapins favor as they are getting 1.5-points in most places. However, doing some shopping will get you two points and there probably isn’t going to be much more movement in this one.

Betting Preview: Papa John’s Bowl Odds

Papajohns.com Bowl – Monday, December 29, 2008 3:00 PM ET

Bowl Preview By: Matt Fargo

The Betting Numbers

Rutgers opened as a touchdown favorite over the Wolfpack and that number is holding tight a week later. Shopping around could get you a 1/2-point in either direction but don’t expect much of a move until gameday. There has been a move on the total as it opened at 51 and has gradually gone up to 53 in the majority of shops with even a couple 54’s available. It would not be surprising to see this one go up even more based on recent results from these two teams.

South Florida opened as a 13-point favorite in most places with a few 14’s scattered about. The number has been bet down to 12.5 almost everywhere and that trend should continue right up to gametime.
