Other BCS Odds Posted Including Penn State-USC

 

Directly from Joe Duffy CEO of the top sports betting site OffshoreInsiders.com, here are other betting spreads on the BCS bowls.

As projected Saturday on Lines-Maker.com, Florida is a three-point favorite over Oklahoma in the National Championship game in Miami. The total is a whopping 72.

Other betting odds include Texas favored by 10.5 over Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl with the total of 54.  Stevie Vincent is the guru of mastering over/under picks and says the BCS games have totals that are among the easiest he’s seen because public perception distorted them more excessively this year. Vincent is Senior Handicapper on OffshoreInsiders.com 

Undefeated Utah gets no respect from the Oddsmakers as Alabama is the 10.5 favorite with a total of 46.5 in the Sugar Bowl.

The Orange bowl has Cincinnati a two-point chalk over Virginia Tech with a total of 41. The winner of the Rose Bowl may stake a claim at the writer’s national championship. USC is a prohibitive 10-point bet over Penn State with the over/under at 46.5.

In perhaps the most intriguing of the non-BCS bowls there is no line yet on Mississippi and Texas Tech. Check the college football odds as the minor bowls will likely have betting pointspreads by Monday morning.

Already Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy promised his first of “at least two dozen all-nighters” researching the bowl picks.
