BCS Bowl Game Odds
Oddsmakers have released the point spreads for all five of the BCS bowls and have established the Florida Gators as a 3-point favorite over the Oklahoma Sooners in the national championship game.
With their impressive victory over previously No. 1 Alabama in the SEC Championship Game, the Gators became one half of the national title matchup. And when the Sooners crushed Missouri in the Big 12 Championship later that evening, they too booked their ticket to Miami. Oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com have made Florida a 3-point favorite over Oklahoma and set the over/under total at 71.5.
Thanks to Oregon’s win over Oregon State and their own victory over UCLA, the USC Trojans earned a date with the Penn State Nittany Lions in the Rose Bowl. Oddsmakers have established the opening line in the Rose Bowl as USC –10 and the over/under has been set at 45.
Virginia Tech has been established as a 2-point underdog against Cincinnati in the Orange Bowl, while the undefeated Utah Utes are 10-point underdogs against the previously top ranked Alabama Crimson Tide in the Sugar Bowl. The final BCS bowl game features the Ohio State Buckeyes against Texas in the Fiesta Bowl. The Longhorns have opened as 10-point favorites.
