NCAA Football - Top Five Non-BCS Bowl Games
Sports bettingplayers have been anxiously waiting for bowl betting season to begin, andobviously, the five BCS bowls will get a lot of attention. But there are a few non-BCS bowls thatare worth your betting money, and here they are:
Cotton Bowl (January 2, 2:00 PM ET) – Oklahoma State vs Ole Miss
Both of these teams were ranked in the preseason top 10, but the Rebels are the bigger disappointment after finishing 4-4 in the SEC. Oklahoma State’s aerial attack suffered withoutreceiver Dez Bryant, who was suspended by the NCAA, while Ole Miss quarterback JevanSnead may have to come back to help his draft status. Ole Miss is a 3-point sports bettingfavorite, and they beat the Cowboys 31-28 in this game in 2003.
Capital One Bowl (January 1, 1:00 PM ET) – Penn State vs LSU
The Tigers should be in a BCS bowl, if not for some shoddy clock management in a loss at OleMiss. The Nittany Lions lost at home to Iowa and Ohio State, and a win over the Hawkeyes probably would have them in the Orange Bowl instead of Iowa. Penn State is a 3-point sports betting favorite in the first meeting for these two programs, and both rank in the top 12 in scoringdefense. The difference in this  NCAA football betting matchup could be LSU’s Trindon Holliday, who is second in the nation in punt returns, and Penn State has struggled with puntcoverage this year.
Chick-Fil-A Bowl (December 31, 7:30 PM ET) – Virginia Tech vs Tennessee
The Vols were surprisingly good in Lane Kiffin’s first year as coach, and they almost beatFlorida and Alabama on the road. The Hokies failed to win the ACC Coastal for the first time inthree seasons, but back-to-back losses against Georgia Tech and North Carolina killed their chances. Virginia Tech is a 4-point favorite in your  sportsbook ,and these two have never met  before. It should be a physical affair as both are in the top 16 in total defense.
Pacific Life Holiday Bowl (December 30, 8:00 PM ET) – Arizona vs Nebraska
The Wildcats recovered from a stunning double-overtime loss against Oregon to beat ArizonaState and USC on the road, while the Cornhuskers came within a second of upsetting Texas inthe Big 12 title game. If for no other reason, you need to watch this game for Nebraska defensivetackle Ndamukong Suh, who will definitely be one of the top  NFL picksin the draft after his dominating performance against the Longhorns. The Wildcats are a 1.5-point sports bettingfavorite here, and the Cornhuskers will be out to avenge a 23-20 loss to Arizona in the 1998Holiday Bowl.
MAACO Las Vegas Bowl (December 22, 8:00 PM ET) – Oregon State vs BYU
