The Trojans and Bruins do battle on the grid iron for what feels like the millionth time this Saturday. USC is, like always, one of the top teams in the nation. The UCLA Bruins? Not so much. For sports betting fans neither team has been all that spectacular. Even though the USC Trojans were hyped to the top of Mt. Olympus at the beginning of the season, their record against the spread hasn’t been all that great.
What has happened to the Dennis Erickson coached Arizona State Sun Devils this season? They were considered the second best team in the Pac-10 when the season started. In fact, they were ranked 15th in the nation. Sports betting fans were eagerly anticipating making a bundle on the Sun Devils like they did last season when the Devils surprised the nation by almost winning the Pac-10.
The SEC Championship game is finally here. The winner of this game no doubt will garner a spot in the BCS Championship on January 8th. The Alabama Crimson Tide is currently 12 and 0 straight-up and ranked number one in the country. From a sports betting point-of-view, the Crimson Tide have been terrific going 9 and 3 against the BetUS online betting spread. They don’t have a lot of superstar names on their roster, but they play a great brand of offense and their defense is easily one of the best in the nation.
The Oklahoma Sooners travel to arch rival Oklahoma State to take on the Cowboys. The Sooners were brilliant last weekend throttling the at that time number 2 BCS ranked Texas Tech Raiders. How did the Sooners do it? By playing up to their defensive capabilities. Sports betting fans will note that Oklahoma isn’t your typical garden variety college football team.
The second-ranked team in the nation, the Texas Tech Red Raiders, travel to Norman, Oklahoma to take on the Sooners. How good has the Big-12 been this season? Oklahoma, Texas Tech, and Texas are all ranked in the top five. Sports betting fans have to seriously consider the strength of this conference when making online bets in what figures to be a very difficult game to find a winner.
The 22nd-ranked Cincinnati Bearcats (7-2 SU, 4-4 ATS, 4-4 O/U) have won two straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook. The Louisville Cardinals (5-4 SU, 4-4 ATS, 3-5 O/U) have dropped each of their last two contests for NCAA college football sports betting buffs.
The Arizona Wildcats travel to Oregon to take on the Ducks in a key Pac-10 match-up. Yes, the USC Trojans and Oregon State Beavers have run away with the conference, but the Wildcats and Ducks are both fighting for a bowl bid. This is the best team that coach Mike Stoops has ever had at Arizona.
Fresh off of a fantastic home victory versus the then number one ranked Texas Longhorns, the Texas Tech Red Raiders will try and keep things going against another highly ranked, difficult team to beat, the Oklahoma State Cowboys. The Cowboys actually played very well on the road against the Texas Longhorns two weeks ago. They will not be a pushover in this game and if Texas Tech believes that they could just waltz through this game after playing their butts off against the Longhorns, they have another thing coming.
The Alabama Crimson Tide goes into Baton Rouge to take on the 15th ranked LSU Fighting Tigers in a game where Alabama will try to remain undefeated and atop the BCS Rankings. For sports betting fans, finding a winner in this game against the spread is going to be much more difficult that it looks.
California, which in the past few college football seasons has been the only team to challenge USC for the Pac-10 title, will travel to Los Angeles to take on the Trojans in the Coliseum. USC has been absolutely terrific lately.
The Georgia Bulldogs have an outside shot at winning the SEC and returning to the BCS Championship game. They haven’t been there in a while. The Florida Gators were just there two years ago. They also have a shot at returning to the BCS Championship game.
The Georgia Bulldogs travel to Baton Rouge to take on last year’s SEC Champion, the LSU Fighting Tigers. Georgia started this season ranked number one in the nation and then fell a couple places but were never out of the top three until a terrible loss at home to the Alabama Crimson Tide ended their chances at the BCS Championship. They have a long hill to climb to get back into the title game.
