The BCS Bowls start the New Year off with an online college football betting bang, as the big boys among the powerhouse schools take center and step into the spot light, while us bettors attempt to start 2009 by beating spreads and making money. New Year’s Day NCAA football wagering action is legendary and arguably the most anticipated day among the sports betting community, highlighted by the famed Rose Bowl.
USC has a defense that has already become the stuff of legend. The Trojans have yielded just 7.8 points per game, and ranks first in total defense, first in pass defense, fifth in rushing defense (allowing 2.6 yards a carry) and has held ten different opponents to ten points or less.
BetUS NCAA Football Betting Odds: USC -9, Total 45
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!
Stop dissecting the final coaches and AP polls and quit crying about the BCS rankings! Yeah, Texas might have something to cry and moan about, but they’re still going BCS bowling and QB Colt McCoy already announced he would return to Austin for his senior campaign in ’09. The 2009 BCS Bowls have been announced, and on paper, it looks as if we’ve got some unbelievable match-ups.

On Sunday the BCS broke the tie between the three teams atop the Big-12 South. Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech were all tied for the Big-12 South title. Sports betting fans were waiting with anticipation because the team ranked highest in the BCS was going to go to the Big-12 Championship to take on Missouri.
The USC Trojans opened up as 9.5 point favorites over the Ohio State Buckeyes this Saturday night, but that didn’t dissuade Trojan backers in the least.
