When it comes to College Bowl game betting, trends play an important role in making your picks pay out. Most of the Bowl games this season feature little head-to-head history between either two teams.

In the BCS Championship game we know that the Sooners are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Bowl games, 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games vs. the SEC. The Gators on the other hand are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games following a Straight Up win and 11-3 in their last 14 non-Conference games. Trends favor Florida as the -3 favorite at BetUS.com.

The third-ranked Longhorns try to put all the controversy surrounding their non-selection to the BCS championship game behind them when they take on No. 10 Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 5 in Glendale, Ariz.. But Texas is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 Bowl games as a favorite of 3.5 to 10.0.

As Gambling911.com pointed out earlier, there is plenty of head-to-head matchup history between Connecticut and Buffalo when it comes to the upcoming International Bowl and it all points to Connecticut, having gone 6-1 in this series since 1999. The Bulls are also 2-8 in their last 10 vs. the Big East.

The Georgia Bulldogs have so many trends against them, it's easy to lean towards the Michigan Spartans in their Capital One Bowl game. The Bulldogs are 1-5 ATS vs. a team with a winning record, 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS loss, 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games after accumulating more than 280 yards passing in their previous game. They are also 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite. Michigan State was a +8 underdog at Sportsinteraction.com.

With the Orange Bowl the Hokies are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 non-conference games. They are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Bowl games. It should be noted that the Bearcats are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Bowl games, however, that Hokies 1-8 ATS in their last 9 non-conference games is a pretty telling stat. If you are liking Cincinnati they were a -2 favorite at Bookmaker.com. Most online sportsbooks had the line at -2 ½.

After some ups and downs since joining LIV Golf in late 2023, Rahm shot an impressive 4-under 67 in the third round on Saturday.
