The Fiesta Bowl Odds Revealed
The 2007 Fiesta Bowl in Glen­dale, Cal­i­for­nia was a riv­et­ing story of two teams, Boise State and Okla­homa, vying for a piece of cham­pi­onship glory. A story of a mid major team try­ing to beat one of the most sto­ried col­le­giate pro­grams in all of sports, it was a clas­sic story with David and Goliath pro­por­tions. With a New York’s Day sched­ule, Okla­homa jumped out to the early lead as eight point favorites. Fiesta Bowl odds became nar­rower as gam­bling audi­ences bet on one side dra­mat­i­cally, mov­ing the spread down to the seven. Smart gam­blers knew that these Fiesta Bowl odds were cre­ated because the Soon­ers were 9–3 against the spread, with Boise State cov­er­ing the spread only half of the time.

Fiesta Bowl odds were run by some of the most tal­ented play­ers in the game com­ing from both sides. In 2007, Adrian Peter­son (now with the Min­nesota Vikings) ran the run­ning back posi­tion for Okla­homa fac­ing an under­rated Boise State run­ning back in Ian John­son. In addi­tion, two solid quar­ter­backs in Jared Zabran­sky and Paul Thomp­son (who was rel­e­gated to start sta­tus after Rhett Bomar got in aca­d­e­mic trou­ble ear­lier in the sea­son) went head to head. What was inter­est­ing about the Fiesta Bowl odds was that Okla­homa lost its start­ing quar­ter­back before the sea­son even started along with Adrian Peter­son to a bro­ken col­lar­bone. In addi­tion, other crit­i­cal play­ers were miss­ing from the bowl game that could have really made an impact with the way Fiesta Bowl odds were made. Plus, Okla­homa suf­fered a blown call at the hands of ref­er­ees in the Ore­gon came. Despite that, they man­aged to win the Big 12 Cham­pi­onship in dra­matic fashion.

With the Fiesta Bowl odds, Boise State put up some gaudy num­bers as well to reach the cham­pi­onship game. It held the 2nd most potent offense in the coun­try and scored more than 35 all by twice against San Jose State and Wyoming. How­ever, Okla­homa was really good on defense in 2007, pre­sent­ing a tough match up. All in all, the Fiesta Bowl game was between two high per­form­ing teams wor­thy of a shot.
