The college football betting has reached the point where it is now bowl season and fans are in a frenzy. Teams from all over the country are gathering in neutral sites to determine which team will have bragging rights and which team will have to try again next year. The price per head sports experts are usually pretty accurate with their odds for these games and that always helps to add a level of interest to each contest. Let’s take a look at the games that are scheduled for New Year’s Eve and see who has the best chance to walk away as bowl champions.Texas A&M (-10) vs Northwestern – Meinke Car Care Texas Bowl
Unfortunately for Northwestern, this is one of those games that the pay per head odds makers have gotten right. Northwestern has had a good season and deserves its bowl bid, but the Northwestern defense is just not going to be able to stop the Texas A&M offense. The running game in Texas will knock Northwestern right over and allow Texas A&M to win this game by a sizeable margin.
Pick: Texas A&M
Utah vs Georgia Tech (-2 ½) – Sun Bowl
It is hard to understand how a team like Utah winds up in the Sun Bowl when it should have been competing for a bowl with just a little more prestige. But Utah has most definitely earned its shot at a Sun Bowl title and will face a Georgia Tech team that will put up a good fight. Tech is favored because of its defense, but this game will be a shootout from start to finish. A betting sports news
review of the Utah season shows a potent offense that will turn this bowl game into a track meet. But the Utes should be able to put up the points to win. Pick: Utah
UCLA vs Illinois (-2 ½) – Fight Hunger Bowl
This is the bowl game with a message. UCLA has always relied on its quarterbacks to pull out late-season wins and win bowl games. But this year the Bruins are going to rely on its two-pronged running attack to stay with the Illini for as long as possible. In the end, Illinois has too much on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball for UCLA to remain in this game for very long.
Pick: Illinois
Cincinnati vs Vanderbilt (-1 ½) – Liberty Bowl
NCAA football fans love the Liberty Bowl because it is so much fun to watch each year. The Liberty Bowl always puts two evenly-matched teams together to battle it out. This year is no exception. This year is no exception as Vanderbilt will win by a nose.
Pick: Vanderbilt
Virginia vs Auburn (-3) – Chick Fil-A Bowl
Everyone was wondering if Auburn would be able to grab a bowl bid the year after Cam Newton left. Newton left behind a pretty good team that was able to work its way into the Chick Fil-A Bowl this year. Virginia has had a good season, but it won’t be able to withstand the offensive barrage that Auburn will throw at it.
Pick: Auburn
