Teams that are 6-6 that are coming off a regular-season win in their final game are huge moneymakers in bowl games compared to 7-8 win teams or 6 win teams coming off a loss.

I think win rate is 65% since 2008. With that said, MT +10.5.

One side note, there are a shite ton of 6-6 teams this bowl season, and a lot of those play against one another.

These are the teams that fit that criteria (Middle Tenn, Memphis, VT, Maryland, Ball St and Florida)

Serious question, does Vegas actually know bowl games like they know regular season games? Maybe the smaller schools, rising schools play hard and prep like they should, but some of the bigger schools, how motivated are they to play in a non NY6/non playoff bowl?

There wouldn't be a line on it if they didn't know what they were doin. Most lines are based off power rankings and other books.

That being said, they have a hard time factoring in motivation, teams treating warm-weather bowls as vacations and player opt-outs.

Those factors are huge advantages to the market if you can guess right or find that information before the line moves.

I really like Utah st getting 7.5. Orst giving a bit much. Aggies look like they have fun when they play.

Oregon St is playing in their first bowl game in like 8 years so they'll be motivated. If you can find a -7 I would jump on that. Don't like -7.5

Middle Tennessee hasn’t played in a bowl game since the 2018 New Orleans bowl. I’m hoping those kids are fired up.

Give me MT +11.5 for $100. Thank you

Bahamas Bowl looks like a weather game with some high winds. Under may be the way to go.
