BCS Championship Game Betting - Florida as the Favorite?

BCS National Championship Game betting is just around the corner. Fans and bettors are eagerly waiting for some Orange Bowl Betting action where on January 8, 2009 the Oklahoma Scooners(1) will take on the Florida Gators in Miami, FL.

Lines makers and football handicappers all agree that the Gators are the favorite team to bet on with a spread of -4. Bookmakers are expecting that this BCS Championship Betting matchup will be a high scoring game as well with an over/under of 69.5.

Even though the Sooners are ranked no 1, why is everyone choosing Florida as the favorite? Some say its because this season, the SEC has destroyed the BIG 12.

The big thing going for Florida is their 12-1 at home record. However both teams have each crushed their competition with some hig scoring action with the Gators averaging 50 points in the their last 9 games.

The Sooners aren´t that far behind themselves in term of point scoring with an average of 60 points per game in for their last 5 games.

The concensus is that the Florida will cover -3 but if you can find a line on the Sooners at +4 then grab it and bet on it.

for the over under, even though the smart money says to go on the over, I´m going to go on a limb on that one and say that the under is where the betting money is at.

Whichever team you decide to put your BCS Championship betting money on, don´t miss out on this game which will air on FOX at 8:15PM ET.
