Betting Preview: Chick-Fil-A Bowl Odds

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.

Betting Preview: Humanitarian Bowl Odds

Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl – Tuesday, December 30, 2008 4:30 PM ET

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

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.

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.
