Scouting the Spread: Penn State football favored in Outback Bowl clash with Arkansas
Penn State Nittany Lions football is a favorite for its bowl game against Arkansas. BWI takes a deep dive into the spread.
I guess you never know, but given recent performance I'm surprised we are a favorite. Anything that has looked close or a pick 'em through the last half of the season has gone the other way for this team. Anyway, hope the odds are right on and we see a bowl win to close out the season.
āRegularā people betting on games will have pretty much no influence on a line.Maybe the explanation is simple, Penn State draws more people betting on games than Arkansas.
in the marketplace of people who would bet on this game, it is hard to see half the bettors putting their $$$$ on PSU, given the last 7 games of the season.Let's remember, a football betting line is an attempt to find a point where half of the betting public picks one side... and the other half feel equally strong that the best bet is on the other side. It is as much a study of the betting psychology than anything else.
Penn State doesn't strike me as a highly motivated team at this point, which is usually a factor in bowl games.
Please not another bowl performance like we had against kentucky. That was brutal. kentucky played well. We played and coached like we didnāt give a sh|t.
Worse, but excusable, was the Houston game after the Sandusky stuff. No one wanted to play that game.Please not another bowl performance like we had against kentucky. That was brutal. kentucky played well. We played like we didnāt give a sh|t.
