If you are a fan of college football then you are aware that this is the first year that the playoffs has expanded to include 12 teams instead of just 4 teams. What looked like a great idea on paper has turned out to be a lackluster event for the most part. All four games in the first round were essentially blowouts, suggesting that too many teams are being let in. We are not seeing the cream of the crop.
Sportsbook bonus experts are hoping to see a big improvement over week 1. The lack of exciting aspects to the game can mean lower numbers for the football betting industry. “Close games equal more TV ratings and more bets, it’s a win win for everybody,” said Scott Morris of SBA, a betting company located in Costa Rica. “You want people to be excited every step of the way. This is good for business and the bottom line.”
In case you don’t know, people will often wager on games based on a point spread. These are the numbers a favorite must win by in order for the bet to cash.
Round two of the playoffs has some exciting matchups. Notre Dame taking on Georgia should be near the top of the list. These are two storied programs with lots of success in their history. Georgia is actually only favored by just 2 points, which means even if they win by just a field goal, they win the game and the bet.
It will also be interesting to see how Boise State fares against Penn State. These are two teams that have never played one another before. This is the first year Boise State has been allowed to compete for the national championship.
