Inside NU’s bowl betting special, Part Five: (Almost) Playoff time

Happy Bowl Season! While the ‘Cats aren’t bowling this time around, that doesn’t mean you can’t get involved. Sports gambling is now legal in Illinois (and several other states across the U.S.), so you can easily have some skin in the game if you choose to.

While all of the bowls to this point have been, to be blunt, glorified exhibition contests (hello Cheez-It Bowl), some of the games in this slate have more significant implications. In particular, New Year’s Eve will see Alabama face off against Cincinnati and Michigan take on Georgia, with each team vying for a spot in the national championship.
