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.
Bookmaker
Sportsbook is pleased
to release all BCS Bowl lines, totals, and props for the upcoming games,
so be sure to login to your account over the coming weeks for all your BCS
Bowl betting.
The Rose Bowl opens up BCS Bowl wagering on New Year’s Day at 5:00 ET in
sunny Pasadena, CA, and Bookmaker Sportsbook currently has USC favored by
10-points with a game ‘total’ of 45.5. JoPa’s Penn State Nittany Lions enter
this Big 10/PAC 10 showcase 11-1 SU and 7-3-1 ATS on the year. They closed
out their 2008 regular season campaign with a trouncing of Michigan State
(49-18) as 16.5-point Happy Valley favorites. Pete Carroll’s USC Trojans
own an 11-1 SU mark, but they split those 12 games ATS costing college football
bettors juice on the year. Last we saw the cardinal and gold, they took
it to in state rival UCLA by a 28-7 final count, but the 21-point margin
of victory failed to cover the lofty 32-point spread.
The next BCS game available to wager upon at Bookmaker Sportsbook is the
Orange Bowl pitting the Big East champion Cincinnati Bearcats (11-2, 6-6
ATS) against ACC champ Virginia Tech (9-4, 5-7 ATS) at Dolphins Stadium
in sunny Miami, FL. Cincy head coach Brian Kelly won at Central Michigan
before making the trek to Ohio, and in just two short years has a school
more known for playing basketball in the football programs biggest bowl
game ever. VTECH head coach Frank Beamer is used to the spotlight of these
big bowls, so expect him to have his men ready to win their fifth game in
their last six tries. Bookmaker Sportsbook doesn’t expect him to though
as they currently have Cincinnati installed as a short two-point favorite
with a game ‘total’ of 42.
Bookmaker’s BCS odds for the Sugar Bowl find the Alabama Crimson Tide (12-1,
9-4 ATS) installed as heavy 10-point Louisiana SuperDome favorites over
the Utah Utes (12-0, 7-3-1 ATS). Alabama found themselves a quarter away
from competing in the BCS Championship Game, but they’re here and not there
so we know how the fourth quarter of their game played out against Florida.
Utah was one of only two teams to enter the bowl season undefeated. Utes
Head Coach Kyle Whittingham and his squad got a few scares along the way,
but they managed to win them all and capped the season off with a thrashing
of BYU in the Holy War.
The fourth BCS Bowl of the season pits the Big 12 and Big 10 losers against
one another in the Fiesta Bowl to be played on Monday, January 5th in brand
new University of Phoenix Stadium (home of the AZ Cardinals). Texas put
forth a brilliant season by winning 11 of their 12 games SU and made college
football bettors some nice coin by going 9-3 ATS. Ohio State suffered a
pair of losses on the year, but closed out the regular season by winning
three in a row both SU and ATS. What a match-up this will be at the quarterback
position of Heisman Trophy contending Colt McCoy and frosh sensation Terrelle
Pryor! Bookmaker’s BCS line on the Fiesta Bowl finds Texas favored by 9.5-points
with a game ‘total’ of 53.
And then the big one, or big daddy if you will. Florida/Oklahoma, could
they have set this ‘total’ high enough? There’s simply no doubt that in
the last month or so of play, these two programs have been the most dominant
and that’s why they find themselves hooked up against one another in the
BCS Championship Game. Dolphin Stadium will be littered with tons of blue
and orange, but you can bet your bottom dollar that “Boomer Sooner” will
travel well and enthusiastically represent their squad. It’s amazing how
evenly matched these two clubs look on paper. They’re both 11-1 SU and they
both covered 10 of those games against the closing college football pointspread.
Bookmaker Sportsbook’s BCS line for the Championship Game finds the Gators
installed as 3.5-point favorites with a game ‘total’ of 72 points.
Hopefully this one’s as fun as the BCS Championship Game played between
Texas and USC a couple years ago when Vince Young almost single handedly
lead the Longhorns to victory….
