College Bowl And NFL Football Betting Previews - 12-20-07
December 20 - Football betting gets an extra dimension starting tonight when the College Bowl season gets underway. It starts out west with the Poinsettia Bowl, which will feature Utah and Navy. The game has to fight for attention with the NFL however, as there is a pro football clash between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the St. Louis Rams.

Both football games feature dominant betting favorites, with Utah -7.5 points in the latest line and the Steelers trading between -7.5 points and -9 points depending on which online sportsbook you like to use.
Utah and Navy both have identical regular season records coming into the Poinsettia Bowl, but the Midshipmen will be without their coach, who has gone off to Georgia Tech already. Utah also puts a glittering Bowl record on the line here - they've won their last six bowl games. In a season of nothing but huge betting upsets in the College game can anyone sense another one here? We can and we're betting on Navy to cover the spread!
The NFL betting market for tonight is even more one-sided as the Steelers are the road team, but find themselves favored by as many as 9 points by some oddsmakers. The Rams have tanked big time this season, but they are at home and might be spurred on to play better with the national spotlight on them. It's going to be a tall order against this Steelers lineup.
