Rose Bowl Game
Line: Michigan State vs. Stanford line and spread
Just
a couple of days left until 2014 and one of the more exciting
college bowl games, the Rose Bowl, which will see Michigan State
face off Stanford for the prestigious trophy, here you can find
the latest Rose Bowl line and point spread. Michigan State
earned tickets to Rose Bowl this season with an impressive
victory over Ohio State to finish 12-1 and Stanford will make
the short trip to Pasadena ending the season with a 11-2 record.
Despite the numbers, which you can see further down, the Rose
Bowl line and point spread may surprise just a few. Let's check
the odds and spread on the 2014 Rose Bowl game right away:
As always, we will compare the line and
spread at two of the most popular US online sportsbooks,
Bookmaker and
Bovada Sports. Starting with
Bookmaker, we find the Rose Bowl line favoring Stanford
Cardinal at -260, while the Michigan State Spartans will arrive
in CA with +215 line to win the Rose Bowl game on Wednesday. At
this sportsbook the Michigan State vs. Stanford point spread is
set at -6.5 points chalk Stanford and the over under is at 42.5
points. Heading over to Bovada Sports, we find that the Rose
Bowl line on the underdog Michigan State is a bit longer at
+220, while Stanford's odds to win Rose Bowl are at -260, as
well. The Rose Bowl point spread here, however, is at -7
points in favor of Stanford and the odds makers have set the
total at 43 points for the over under on the Rose Bowl game.
Despite the small differences in the lines and spread, one thing
is for certain, the sportsbooks are making Stanford a heavy
favorite to win the 2014 Rose Bowl game.
The betting stats are showing that Michigan
State is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games and the total has gone UNDER
in 7 of Stanford's last 8 games and UNDER in 5 of Michigan
State's last 7 games. Also keep in mind that while on average
Stanford scores 3.4 points more than Michigan State per game,
the Spartans have the tighter defense, allowing just 12.7 pts
per game, compared to 18.6 for Stanford Cardinal. Injuries also
appear to be a non-factor in this Rose Bowl, Stanford reporting
only defensive end Ben Gardner out for the season, while
Michigan State will play the Rose Bowl game without linebackers
Max Bullough and Jairus Jones. The 2014 Rose Bowl game between
Michigan State and Stanford will start at 5pm EST on Wednesday,
January 1st 2014.
