- 0 comments - College Football, College Football Bowls - posted by David Hess on December 5, 2011
While our official line source (Pinnacle) 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 5Dimes.
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 the Pinnacle lines.):
Mississippi State -6.5 over Wake Forest
Missouri -4 over North Carolina
And a couple that seem larger than expected, subject to the same disclaimer:
