I Hope The Bowl Games Get Better

[VegasInsider]

The first week of bowl games has been terrible. Turnovers, missed FGs, coaching mistakes, star players hardly showing up. I know it's been mostly Non-BCS conference teams, but it's still bad football.

Minnesota and Syracuse look like the Texas gave them a pregame speech about how to suck at Reliant Stadium

[Gus Fring]

Coaches are too conservative. Marshall coach was punting on 4th and inches from opponent 37

[VegasInsider]

Yeah, that was a perfect example.

Look at NIU last night. Multitude of coaching mistakes, Lynch looked bad and NIU kicker was just slightly better then that kid from 'Bama.

Syracuse fake FG

I'm so done with these shit college games. Wasting my time.

I don't even have money on these shit games, either.

[Dirty Sanchez]

This latest one is so bad they couldn't even find a sponsor

[VegasInsider]

Whoa! Kicker made a FG

All bowl games should be eliminated except for 10 games. Top 20 BCS teams get in and play a tournament. Last team standing is Champion. Seems very simple.

You run an odd tournament

Side note: I read something about every single bowl game gets more wagering than all but like five regular season games

Ok then give some top teams byes. Make it NFL style. More at stake for each team and no question of motivation.

interesting. That helps explain why i havent done well so far. i've been on the public side in almost every game. If wagering is up 10X Vegas has to make sure they don't lose a bunch of money.

i hate to consider who the public is on and let that determine anything but sometimes its necessary in football

Well it can't get any worse these games are junk... the long layoffs make the games terrible... bad offense bad defense just ugly stuff... move the start of the season back a week or 2 to get a better product

Last year, 14 of the 20 most bet college football games of the year were Bowl games, including the top 8 most bet games of the season. In fact, the 2013 GoDaddy.com Bowl between Arkansas State and Kent State received more bets than the regular season games between Alabama/Georgia, USC/Stanford and South Carolina/LSU.

Makes sense. Lots of people in Vegas for holidays/new years creates high volume.

Ebear sharp

I suppose I bungled that one up a bit because that is the same thing I recalled but the point remains.

less games to choose from doesn't hurt.

[Capper1124]

Mostly close games today

[ebbearsfb1]

Lol nice punt might as well go for it

[VegasInsider]

Syracuse game turned into a good contest in the 2H

Washington game was mostly boring, like almost all the others.

I think we see better games starting Saturday

[Cuse0323]

...

[Cuse0323]

Terrible games so far though, time to get to the big boys now.

[VegasInsider]

Syracuse played a solid game tonight. They stuck to their gameplan and proved they were a better team then advertised this season

[Gus Fring]

Blindly betting unders in bowl games seem the way to go.

[jjgold]

Today we had a nice slate of games

Don't forget these teams are not that good that have played so far

Washington was the best team we've seen

[VegasInsider]

I stated that. This must be the 3rd shift JJ. Just blindly posting without reading the thread.

Add another under in Rutgers game,
