Depends on the money line. I think just betting the point spread and taking all the Dogs is a good move. This is a bit old, but applies to Bowl games:

One of the best practices in sports betting is to simply take quality teams when they are underdogs, as they not only have a chance to win the game outright, but they can also stay within the point spread if their efforts come up a bit short.
The college football bowl season is no exception to the rule, and those simply taking all underdogs of six or more points since the start of the 2006 bowl season would have won 40 games and lost 29. That's a 58 winning percentage, which will put money in your pocket.
Underdogs of 10 or more points were a solid 12-8 (60 percent) against the spread heading into the 2010 bowl season, but went 0-2 in 2010, as both Utah and Connecticut were trounced as double-digit dogs.
The premise is good and every system will have its ups and downs, but taking the larger underdogs in bowl games is a move that makes good sense and should always be considered before placing a wager in the bowl games.
And the teams we send, you know, aren't as good as those they will be playing.
I looked at the ESPN latest FPI this moring, and these are the 10 B1G matchups.
Tennessee is #35 in ESPN's FPI bowl projection, and Iowa at #57.
Alabama #2 vs. Ohio State #3
Baylor #7 vs Michigan State #11
Missouri #32 vs Minnesota #43
Auburn #8 vs Wisconsin #21
USC #13 vs Nebraska #31
Stanford #16 vs Maryland #51
Boston College #49 vs Penn State #59
Louisiana Tech #58 vs Illinois #83
North Carolina #53 vs Rutgers #71
Virginia at #45 is highest ranked team not eligible for a bowl.

I have no interest in gambling, but I like the matchups for all B10 teams except for Debbie & Rutgers.
See a psychiatrist. And it's a very good thing that you don't gamble.

I am a betting man. I like Alabama only having to give 9 points to OSU. That bet is like stealing. Alabama going against a fricking 3rd string qb??
Bet the house on Bama, boys!

So I'm just curious as to what everyone is planning on doing with their winnings? Any one have any good trips planned?
I lost my house by betting on Bama. Thanks a lot blubberha.
