Picking every bowl underdog to cover
« on: December 13, 2023, 11:55:34 AM »
One of my notions is that bowl games consistently have lines that are too big.  Of course, these days nobody has much of a notion who is actually going to play anyway.  So, I'm going to try and track how many 'dogs cover (they won't wall, but I'm picking them all to see if that yields a positive result).

Maybe someone can do better picking and choosing.

I see Mizzou favored over Ohio State?  Weird.  Yeah, I know.

Bowl underdogs went 23-18 ATS against the spread this season with one more tonight.  So, yeah, if you had individually bet each game and taken the dog you would have come out ahead.

I was in an ESPN Bowl Pick Em and went 26-16 ATS. The one game difference was the site you listed didn’t have a line for Florida A&M-Howard game and mine did.

Thanks, I think this holds true in most years.  Had not taken the time to check, so thanks.
