BetUS NCAA college football bettors may have a \u2018lock\u2019 on their hands in this matchup.<\/p>\n<h3>Orange Bowl<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.betus.com\/ats\/11892\/mid\/1431\/default.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/a>I love the Orange Bowl matchup featuring Virginia Tech versus Cincinnati and believe that bettors that go with either ballclub will have a solid chance at covering in a contest that could turn out to be the best Bowl game of them all.<\/p>\n<h3>Fiesta Bowl<\/h3>\n<p>The Ohio State Buckeyes get to play a Texas team that will be furious at not getting the opportunity to play for the national championship. The selection committee got the job done here as well.<\/p>\n<h3>Rose Bowl<\/h3>\n<p>The Penn State Nittany Lions, (my beloved alma mater) had an absolutely fine season this year, but may not be much of a matchup for the USC Trojans who are playing their best football of the season. The BCS selection committee served up fans and bettors a nice dish with this pairing, along with my favorite Bowl pairing, the Cotton Bowl contest between high-scoring Texas Tech and Mississippi.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/www.betus.com\/ats\/11892\/mid\/1431\/default.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">BetUS NCAA college football bettors will have a plethora of Bowl game picks to choose from in the BetUS Sportsbook.<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NCAA college football bettors didn\u2019t get many surprises in the way of teams getting the short end of the stick in selection for 2008 BCS Bowl games&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[31,6165,6161,6164,6162,6163,6169,6160,6103,147,6166,313,321,6167,763,767,6171,6168,6172,6170],"class_list":["post-5430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ncaa-football","tag-2008-bcs","tag-2008-bcs-bowls","tag-2008-fiesta-bowl","tag-2008-orange-bowl","tag-2008-rose-bowl","tag-2008-sugar-bowl","tag-alabama-vs-utah","tag-bcs-selection","tag-bcs-title-game","tag-bet-on-college-football","tag-bowl-preview","tag-college-football-betting","tag-college-football-lines","tag-handicapping-bowl-games","tag-ncaa-football-betting","tag-ncaa-football-odds","tag-ohio-st-vs-texas","tag-oklahoma-vs-florida","tag-penn-state-vs-usc","tag-virginia-tech-vs-cincinnati"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/68"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5430"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5430\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":106007,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5430\/revisions\/106007"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
