College Football Bowl Betting Line Value

College football bowl betting line value is something that gamblers search for every season. College bowl games attract a great deal of betting interest from the public and that means there will be value in the NCAA football bowl betting line. College football bowl betting line value is usually found on the underdogs since the public loves to bet favorites.  The 2007-2008 bowl season has a number of high favorites led by USC a 13.5 point favorite over Illinois in the Rose Bowl.  Is there value in taking the Illini on the NCAA football bowl betting line?  Most experts are leery of going against USC in NCAA bowl games but the Illini have already upset Ohio State this season so getting nearly two touchdowns could spell value.  Usually gamblers that take the underdogs are the professionals.  They look for value in college bowl games and usually take the underdog.

Some of the biggest NCAA football bowl betting line moves occurred on the underdogs.  Navy went from an 11.5 point dog against Utah in the Poinsettia Bowl to an 8.5 point underdog.  Air Force was another popular dog on the college football bowl betting line.  They went from a 6 point underdog against California in the Armed Forces Bowl to a 3.5 point underdog.  Value is not always on the underdogs in regards to the NCAA football bowl betting line.  Sometimes favorites are worth a shot against the NCAA football bowl betting line.

This year Virginia Tech opened as a pick against Kansas and is now a 3.5 point favorite on the college football bowl betting line.  BYU is a popular pick on the NCAA football bowl betting line.  They went from a 4 point favorite to a 6 point choice.  Georgia is another popular pick in NCAA bowl games action.  They opened as a 6.5 point favorite on the college football bowl betting line against Hawaii and are now -9.  The most popular betting line is the National Championship line where LSU opened -3 against Ohio State and is now -4.5.

Value can be found on favorites and on underdogs although most of the time it is found by taking the points.  Usually the favorites are overvalued by both the oddsmakers and the public.  If you are looking for value then you should begin your search by looking to take the points.
