Wagering on the College Bowl Betting Mania
College football bowl games are a difficult transition from the NFL games to handicapping college bowl games which most bettors cannot resist.
Betting college bowl games is very different from handicapping regular season college games. Bowl games are different from other games. All of the college bowl games have a national TV contract. Teams want to play well with TV exposure for their college.
Bowl games are played at neutral sites by teams that have not faced each other this season. The bowl games feature teams from different conferences making it difficult to handicap any similar comparisons. Other factors need analysis.
The layoff factor also plays a role in college bowl games. Bowl teams have a long layoff from two to four weeks after the season ends. Coaches and teams prepare more than their opponent leading up to their scheduled bowl game. Everything is different from their regular season campaign. Can they adjust to a new routine ?
Some coaches are better than others at getting their team ready to play in a big game. This coaching angle is very significant for handicapping a college football bowl game. But be aware of teams that could be down due to coaching changes at the end of the season. Colleges either fire coaches or hire new coaches away from other colleges.
Some of these changes include Tom Herman leaving Houston for University of Texas. Jeff Brohm at Western Kentucky going to Purdue. Matt Rhule leaving Temple for Baylor. Kevin Wilson be fired from Indiana. Loyalty has a short life span due to the competitive results needed during a coach`s tenure and the money involved from boosters who expect winning results. College players feel inspired from certain coaches but can be very let down by a coach they played hard for during the season. Extra distractions during the bowl season is a betting factor to consider. Either stay away or bet lightly as the bowl playoff mania produces upsets and results that are far from normal expectations.
