Game-day: 12/19/2009
Kick-off: 8:00 pm EST
The Central Florida Golden Knights take on Rutgers in what amounts to a home game in the St. Petersburg Bowl.
The game, at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, isn’t that far away from the campus of Central Florida in Orlando. That makes the trip to their bowl game quite easy. That’s not the case for Rutgers who have to travel all the way from New Jersey to take on the Golden Knights.
Along with the holiday season comes NCAA bowl season, which kicks off this week and runs through to January 7th, when the BCS Championship game will crown a champion for the 2009 season.
The New Mexico Bowl gets the first taste of the Bowl spotlight with its date this Saturday night.

The Betting Numbers
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. The total opened at 51 and was quickly bet up to 52 and it is sitting tight at that number with some 52.5 totals out there also.
