A lot of points could be scored in college football betting on Monday night at as Texas A&M and Georgia match-up in the 2009 Independence Bowl. A&M had the worst defense in the Big 12 while Georgia was so bad defensively that head coach Mark Richt fired three assistants including his defensive coordinator. Georgia is a 7-point favorite in college football odds with a total of 66 at online sportsbooks for this game the can be seen on ESPN2 at 5:00pm EST. Georgia allowed 26.4 points per game this season and things got so bad that Richt will now be coaching the defense for the bowl game. "It was definitely not a one-year, knee-jerk reaction to one season, I can promise you that," Richt said, "It was more a decision that was made over the course of time, more time than just one year." Whether or not Georgia is improved on defense for the bowl game is in question but Richt is an excellent head coach who knows how to motivate players. They will need to be well prepared if they are to beat the seven point spread in college football betting odds as they face a Texas A&M offense that is high-powered. Texas A&M will be led by quarterback Jerrod Johnson in the 2009 Independence Bowl. Johnson has thrown for 3,217 yards and 28 touchdowns this season.
