New Years Eve College Bowl Games & Picks<\/h2>\n

New Year\u2019s Day isn\u2019t the only day for sports betting fans to dig in and make online bets on college football bowl games.<\/p>\n

There are five bowl games slated for December 31st and every single one them will provide BetUS online sportsbook football betting fans an opportunity to make some mullah!<\/p>\n

So, let\u2019s not waste any more time and get to the games! \u00a0<\/p>\n

12\/31\/2008<\/p>\n

Armed Forces Bowl<\/strong>
\nAir Force vs. Houston Cougars
\nKick-off: 12:00 pm est.<\/p>\n

Analysis: The Falcons are underdogs by 3 \u00bd points but they shouldn\u2019t be because four of their five losses this season were against TCU, BYU, Navy and Utah. Even with those four losses, Air Force went 7 and 4 against the spread. The Houston Cougars might appear to be the better team but they were 4 and 7 against the spread. I\u2019m going Air Force all the way.<\/p>\n

Pick: Air Force Falcons at + 145 on the BetUS online sportsbook money line.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sun Bowl<\/strong>
\nPittsburgh Panthers vs. Oregon State Beavers
\nKick-off: 2:00 pm est.<\/p>\n

Analysis: Oregon State was 8 and 4 straight-up this season but a game away from the Rose Bowl. They also beat USC on the square. Against the online betting spread they were a fantastic 8 and 3. The Pitt Panthers, 2 \u00bd point underdogs in this game, went 6 and 6. I don\u2019t see much choice in this one. The Beavers should romp because Pitt\u2019s offense isn\u2019t close to Oregon State\u2019s and Pitts\u2019 defense hasn\u2019t seen Pac-10 speed like this. The Beavers should cover.<\/p>\n

Pick: Oregon State Beavers at \u2013 2 \u00bd against the spread in the BetUS online sportsbook.<\/em><\/p>\n

Music City Bowl<\/strong>
\nBoston College Eagles vs. Vanderbilt Commodores
\nKick-off: 3:30 pm est.<\/p>\n

Analysis: Vanderbilt is a 3 \u00bd point underdog in this game because Boston College ended up making it to the ACC Championship. Vanderbilt, though, has one of the toughest defenses in college football. The Commodores were destroyed by Florida but that was Florida. That ridiculous SEC schedule, including a win against Ole Miss, should have set them up well to take on the Eagles in this bowl game. I see Vandy winning this straight-up.<\/p>\n

Pick: Vanderbilt Commodores at + 145 on the BetUS online sportsbook money line.<\/em><\/p>\n

Insight Bowl<\/strong><\/a>
\nMinnesota Golden Gophers vs. Kansas Jayhawks
\nKick-off: 5:30 pm est.<\/p>\n

Analysis: As 8 \u00bd point against the spread online betting favorites in the BetUS online sportsbook, the Kansas Jayhawks show exactly why the Big-12 is so respected while the Big-Ten is not. I do believe that Kansas has a shot to blow-out the Gophers, but Minnesota is better than most online football betting fans think. They went 7 and 4 against the spread. Those four losses to close out the season are worrisome, but Minnesota should have had plenty of time to regroup. I see them putting up a fight.<\/p>\n

Pick: Minnesota Golden Gophers to beat the + 8 \u00bd against the spread line in the BetUS online sportsbook.<\/em><\/p>\n

Chik-Fil-A-Bowl<\/strong>
\nLSU Fighting Tigers vs. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
\nKick-off: 7:30 pm est.<\/p>\n

Analysis: Georgia Tech is favored by 4 \u00bd points to beat last year\u2019s BCS Champion, the LSU Tigers. LSU started to lose a few games to end the season. They dropped a game against Troy, which was a huge upset, and then lost to both Ole Miss and Arkansas to end the regular season. That\u2019s out of character for Les Miles\u2019s bunch. Georgia Tech has a serious defense and went 7-2-1 against the BetUS online betting spread including thumping Miami Florida and Georgia to finish out the regular season. But I have to believe that Miles and that LSU coaching staff has put something together during the break that should keep LSU close in this game. I\u2019m taking the Fighting Tigers.<\/p>\n

Pick: LSU to beat the 4 \u00bd against the spread online betting odds in the BetUS online sportsbook.<\/em><\/p>\n
