Why do people bet these bowl games?

Look at the final scores on these, basically "flip a coin plays" and even if you ARE on the right side they can win and not cover.

Bowl games so far:

Wake Forest 29 (8-5) Navy 19 (8-5)

Colorado State 40 (7-6) Fresno State 35 (7-6)

South Florida 41 (8-5) Memphis 14 (6-7)

Arizona 31 Brigham Young 21

Southern Mississippi 30 (7-6)Troy 27(8-5) (OT)

TCU 17 (11-2) Boise State 16 (12-1)

Notre Dame 49 (7-6) Hawaiʻi 21 (7-7)

Florida Atlantic 24 (7-6) Central Michigan 21 (8-5)

West Virginia 31 (9-4) North Carolina 30 (8-5)


Not sure of the lines on these, but 4 of these games were settled by 3 or less, and 1 by 5. And TCU/WV won, but didn't cover.

What the point here if a lost of these games are very evenly matched? This is my opinion anyway.. I've been staying away from these games.

Bet ML's and you don't have to worry about spreads.
