Las Vegas Bowl Tickets – Place Your Bets on BYU By Brent Warnken At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

The Las Vegas Bowl is a great game to attend, and not just for the football. As the name of the game might have tipped you off, this bowl takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada, where gambling on sports is as legal as freedom, and even if you spent some cash getting Las Vegas Bowl tickets from http://www.stubhub.com/las-vegas-bowl-tickets/, you might still walk away from the game with a bowl full of memories and some spare change to snag a flight and some tickets for the BCS title game. You might, that is, if you place the right bets on who’s going to win the game. Here are some popular NCAA Football futures bets for the winner of the Las Vegas Bowl.

BYU

Brigham Young is one of the clear favorites to not only get to the Las Vegas Bowl, but to win it. The Cougars have been to the Las Vegas Bowl the past three times, winning it the past two straight seasons, and this year they seem to be on a bullet train to another payout courtesy of Sin City. On a side note, do you think that sending the Mormon school to Las Vegas every year irks the BYU fans? In fact, since 1992, the first year that Las Vegas Bowl tickets were first made available, Utah teams (Utah, Utah State, BYU) have been in 40% of the LV Bowl games. Interesting. But moving on, BYU is 9-1 right now, ranked 16 in the AP, and putting points on the board without a problem. A matchup with undefeated Utah on the road could spell trouble, but they still have a good shot at the Las Vegas Bowl even if they lose that game.

Oregon

CBSsports.com is predicting Oregon-BYU for the Las Vegas Bowl, based on the fact that there will probably be approximately three other Pac-10 teams that will make more lucrative bowl games this season. USC will go to the Rose Bowl. Oregon State will land the Holiday Bowl, Cal will snag one, too, probably the Sun Bowl, leaving Oregon to take the Las Vegas Bowl. The second tier of the Pac-10 behind USC is a jumble of good teams, and Oregon will probably split their last two regular season games, versus Arizona at home and Oregon State on the road.

Cal

Cal beat BYU in the Las Vegas Bowl in 2005, and this year might be the rematch. Winning the rest of their regular season home games will be tough for the Golden Bears, but going 2-1 versus Oregon State on the road, Stanford at home and Washington at home is very doable. If that’s the case, and some other scenarios in the Pac-10 play out, Cal’s as good a pick as any to get to the Las Vegas Bowl, where their defense should keep them in the game, even if BYU is their opponent.

Utah

The long shot here is Utah, as they are currently undefeated and ranked No. 8 in the nation. Some people are predicting that they will find their way to the Sugar Bowl or another BCS game, but supposing they lose their next two regular season games- on the road at San Diego State and at home versus BYU, their fall from grace will land them right where a fall from grace should land you- a Christmas vacation in Las Vegas.
