Poinsettia Bowl College Football Betting Trends – Louisiana Tech vs. TCU

Poinsettia Bowl College Football Betting Trends – Louisiana Tech vs. TCU

In Wednesday’s Poinsettia Bowl, TCU opened as an 11-point favorite at Olympic and is currently garnering 70% of spread wagers, according to Sports Insights’ College Football Betting Trends.

Despite receiving only 30% of public action, Louisiana Tech has dropped to a 9.5-point underdog at the market-setting sportsbooks.

This reverse-line movement is even more impressive since the Bulldogs will be without leading-rusher Lennon Creer, who has been ruled academically ineligible to play.

Last week, our Bet Sharp series of articles highlighted the 70/30 College Football Betting System. In this article, we analyzed the past three bowl seasons and found underdogs who received 30% or fewer of spread bets went 11-5 (68.8%) against the spread (ATS).

Tuesday’s St. Petersburg Bowl was the first game of this bowl season to fit the system and saw Marshall, a 5-point underdog against Florida  International, close with 30% of all spread bets.

Marshall won the game, 20-10, improving the 70/30 College Football Betting System to 12-5.

As a result, we are keeping a close eye on tonight’s game and could include Louisiana Tech as a Best Bet or Square Play, depending on how our College Football Betting System Picks react to line movement and changes in the Public Betting Trends throughout the day.
