If you’re a betting person, you’ve no doubt been watching the line for the upcoming bowl games - or, OK maybe you haven’t. However, Vegas has released betting odds for each bowl game, including the College Football Playoff. That includes the Birmingham Bowl, where South Carolina has opened as a 10.5 point underdog to South Florida.
This isn’t entirely surprising. I wrote about the talent this team possesses and how it could turn out to be a matchup nightmare for the Gamecocks. Apparently Vegas feels the same way, or, at least, Bovada does.
As far as odds for the CFP games, Alabama has unsurprisingly opened as a double-digit favorite (17) over Washington in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.
