NCAAF: TRENDS SHOW LSU DROP-OFF

Since reaching #3 in the AP Poll in Week 5, the LSU Tigers have been in a steady decline and nowhere is that more evident than the Sportsbook.com Betting Trends.

Only 27% of bettors like the Tigers as four-point underdogs on New Year’s Eve, a far cry from the support they garnered earlier this season when many felt they were ready to contend for back-to-back championships.

Chick-Fil-A Bowl – Wednesday, December 31, 2008 7:30 PM ET

Bowl Preview By: Matt Fargo

The Betting Numbers

Georgia Tech opened as a 3.5-point favorite at most shops with a scattering of a few at -4 as well as a couple at -2.5. Right away, there was a perfect middling opportunity for those who were able get those numbers. The number has now settled in between -4 to -4.5 and there has been very little movement over the last two weeks. We could see this number increase as we get closer to kickoff. There has been a lot of recent movement in the total however as the opening number of 49 and 50 stayed put for a while but has gone up to as much as 53 in some outlets over the last week.
