Hawaii vs. Notre Dame Hawaii Bowl Gambling

CFB: Hawaii Bowl generates betting buzz

For a bowl game being played Christmas Eve night, matching two teams totaling a dozen defeats, this contest has gotten a fair amount of buzz.

With the Notre Dame Fighting Irish listed as 2 ½-point favorites in Hawaii and playing after a nice vacation, this is an intriguing matchup. It will also either symbolize the dawning of a new era for Charlie Weis and Notre Dame or start the slow dance ritual of Weis being shown the door in about 11 months.

Missouri vs. Northwestern Alamo Bowl Gambling

NCAAF: Tigers face another large spread

The Missouri Tigers have faced a number of big spreads this season – without much success.

As the #21 Tigers enter Monday’s Valero Alamo Bowl against the #23 Northwestern Wildcats as 12 ½-point favorites, bettors should be reminded that Missouri has covered just three of their last 10 games.

Miami vs. Cal Emerald Bowl Gambling

NCAAF: Profitable Bears big faves

The California Golden Bears were picture-perfect at home this season and Sportsbook.com bettors have taken notice heading into Saturday’s Emerald Bowl. 

The matchup between California and the Miami Hurricanes will be played on a neutral field, but it may as well be a home game for the Bears as they simply make the 25-minute trek from campus to AT&T Field on Saturday.

Wisconsin vs. Florida St. Champs Sports Bowl Gambling

NCAAF: Badgers like Florida weather

The Florida State Seminoles are playing the Champs Sports Bowl in their home state, but don’t discount the chances of the Wisconsin Badgers.

The Badgers have played in Florida bowl games the last five years against tough SEC teams and while they went just 2-3 straight-up, they were 3-2 against the spread and easily could have gone 5-0 against the spread (ATS) with a couple of breaks in games that were close in the fourth quarter.

That bodes well against Florida State who has similar speed of an SEC team even though they play in the ACC.

Doc Sports Handicapping Tips

This Week in Betting, A to Z

A – Atlanta. I have to be a man and admit that I was wrong about the Falcons. I didn’t believe that Michael Turner was going to get the job done, that Matt Ryan was going to adjust easily to the pro game, or that the team stood a chance of making .500, never mind the playoffs. That’s an 0-fer for me. With a nice road win over the flailing Bucs on Sunday the Falcons clinched their spot, and they can now get ready to play a road game to start the playoffs.

Fresno St. vs. Colorado St. New Mexico Bowl Gambling

NCAAF: BULLDOGS CAN’T FIND THE PAY WINDOW

Fresno State’s season ended with a disappointing 7-5 record but the majority of bettors like them as three-point favorites for Saturday’s New Mexico Bowl.

The Fresno State Bulldogs play the Colorado State Rams in the second game of the bowl season, starting at 2:30 pm ET on ESPN.  

Fresno opened the preseason as the favorite to win the WAC but the 105th-ranked run defense took care of any hopes the Bulldogs had in a hurry.

NCAAF: DEMON DEACONS SEEK REVENGE

The bowl season opens with a rematch between Navy and Wake Forest on Saturday morning.

The spread is much closer this time around as the Demon Deacons are listed as three-point favorites.

2008 CFB Bowl Game Lines – Betting Odds

NCAAF: GATORS SPREAD HOLDING STEADY

Tim Tebow and the #2 Florida Gators are holding steady as three-point chalk over the #1 Oklahoma Sooners in the BCS title game on January 8th.

So while Sooners’ quarterback Sam Bradford won the Heisman Trophy last Saturday night, it is Tebow who will have the last laugh if he gets his second national title in the last three years.

Doc Sports Handicapping Tips

This Week in Betting, A to Z

A – Arena Football League. The AFL is taking a year off to get their business in order. The question is whether anyone will care, or even notice. The most telling indication of the state of the league was that the New Orleans VooDoo had decided to fold even though they had been near the top of the league in attendance the last two years and were owned by Tom Benson, owner of the Saints, so money wasn’t a problem.

Doc Sports Handicapping Tips

This Week in Betting, A to Z

A – Auburn. Tommy Tuberville is out as coach of the Tigers, but the circumstances, if the reports are to be believed, are odd. Even though his job was reportedly safe despite a lackluster 5-7 season, Tuberville stepped down this week. The administration says they were shocked, yet they decided to pay him his $5.1 million buyout even though they didn’t have to. Generous. Or stupid.

Oklahoma vs. Missouri Week 15 Gambling

NCAAF: SOONERS BIG CHALK IN BIG 12

The Big 12 title game between the Oklahoma Sooners and Missouri Tigers feels like there is almost a third team involved, the Texas Longhorns.

The Tigers are the opponent that will take the field, but the Longhorns have just as much vested interest in the outcome. You see, it is assumed that if the Sooners fall, Texas will slip into the other spot in the national title game in January.
