 The College Bowl Season   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Before discussing some very useful bowl angles of the recent past, I want to point out that a shift in the normal football handicapping mindset is usually required for the bowls.
More precisely, handicappers must recognize the fact that bowl contests are much different than regular-season games, with a higher “X-Factor” — that is, unusual things that can happen to a team between the end of its season and its bowl game that can make some bowl outcomes less predictable.
It was also interesting that when the totals were a relatively low 45 or less for a college game, five of the six chances last year also went “over.” Perhaps that’s because even the low-variance teams of the regular season tend to roll out the gimmick plays and punt-block plays in the bowls.
