This years College Football picks season comes to a close tonight when the Ohio State Buckeyes take on the LSU Tigers in the BCS Championship Game. This season was one of the most unpredictable in my BCS predictions memory and tonight's participants certainly aren't without thoughts of whether or not they should be playing in this BCS Championship Game. But, as the old saying goes, "it is what it is" and neither you nor I can change the fact that it will be LSU and Ohio State tonight. So, instead of lamenting about who should and shouldn't be in this game let's take a look at some trends for your BCS picks that we could possibly exploit to our betting advantage tonight. For my BCS predictions, I decided to look at this from a conference persprective to see what each of them have done over the years. SportsBetting.com has set Ohio State as the 4 point dog in the BCS championship matchup.
Big-10 Conference
Underdogs have dominated bowl game action involving teams from the Big Ten over the L3 seasons going 12-8 SU & 17-3 ATS (85%).
Going further back as an underdog, the Big Ten has covered 8-1 ATS in its L9 opportunities and is 18-10 ATS (64%) since the 2000 season.
For total players over plays have been the way to go in Big Ten bowl games going 11-6 ATS (65%) since 2005.
SEC Conference
Mostly regarded as one of the top conferences in the country playing the SEC Conference as a favorite in a bowl game hasn't been all that kind to bankroll as they are only 10-14 SU and 7-16-1 ATS (30%) when they have been listed as a pick em’ or favorite of 7-points or less.
With the O/U at 47.5 currently total players need to be aware that SEC teams in Bowl games with totals of 45 or higher the under is 14-7 ATS(67%) in their L21 games.
Although there are a number of other factors that need to be taking into consideration in tonight's game to grab the cash, on the surface, these trends seem to point to an Ohio State cover.
Michael is a profitable 3-1 ATS in his BCS Bowl games this year and tonight as his GUARANTEED final winner of the year in this game. Join MikeAlexander to grab the cash.
