Sportsbook Point Spreads For All 35 Bowl Games

December 5, 2011 - by David Hess

While our official line source hasn’t published lines for all Bowl games yet, spreads are out at a few books already. Below is a look at the early lines from leading sportsbooks.

We’ve also included links to our in-depth matchup info for each bowl game, where you’ll be able to find a complete line movement history for each game. (Just click Odds & Line Moves in the left menu.)

Here are a couple lines that we think seem a bit shorter than expected. (These are just based on initial looks and our power ratings, and are definitely subject to change, once we run our predictive models on lines from our odds source.):

Mississippi State -6.5 over Wake Forest
