Well here we are again and the Ohio State Buckeyes are in another BCS bowl game. Well recent history has not been good for the Buckeyes with them losing the last two BCS National Championship games.

2009 BCS Handicapping Analysis

College Football: BCS – C = BS

You can go on the internet and find countless articles on how the BCS has ruined college football or how it is the greatest thing that college football has ever seen. Adding another one to mix might be worthless but I feel I need to add my two cents into discussion.

I am not a fan of the USC Trojans and I am certainly not a fan of Pete Carroll. I think I dislike USC because it is so good year in and year out, Carroll acts smug all the time and the fans suck.

2009 Cotton Bowl Handicapping

Cotton Bowl Breakdown – Ole Miss vs Texas Tech

The 2009 Cotton Bowl will be the last for the historic Cotton bowl which after this 73rd annual bowl will move to the new Texas Stadium. After being left out of the bcs picture they have to find new revenue streams thus moving to state of the art facility is mandated. This years game features another classic sec vs big 12 matchup. Texas Tech and Ole Miss are very different in styles and should create a hugely interesting matchup.

Oddsmakers also think this will be a very close game as Tech is only favored by four points.

Cappers Tips: BCS Bowl Betting Trends

BCS Bowl Trends use them to your advantage this year!

Since the BCS system started there has been 42 games! One of those was a pick em game that was won by USC in the Rose bowl in 2007 over Michigain. Of the rest of the 41 games the underdog is 21-20 against the spread! Which is what you would expect, but what you would not expect is that of those underdogs 16 of those covers were actually wins straight up! Even more to this point is that the last three seasons underdogs are 7-6 against the number and 6-7 straight up. Now that is unbelievable profit if you bet the underdogs straight up!

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.

Mr. East’s Bowl Handicapping Tips – System

NCAAF BOWL GAME ADVANTAGE SYSTEM

(12-26-2008)

There are a lot of things to look for in Bowl games, but one thing is very clear, and if you follow this simple system, you can add to your portfolio of winning wagers.

There is a lot that goes into handicapping a game. When it comes to the Bowl season, it is much different. You must take a different approach, and motivation often becomes a big issue on what type of intensity the game will be played at from each side. Sometimes it is easy to gauge, and others very difficult.
