MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Betting odds for the 2024 Salute to Veterans Bowl favor the South Alabama Jaguars by 8.0 points against the Western Michigan Broncos. Saturday’s 57.5-point legal sports betting total has -110 odds to go over or under.

South Alabama vs Western Michigan Betting Lines

South Alabama has less than a 200-mile trip south to Montgomery for this bowl game, while Western Michigan must endure the travel down south. Still, Western Michigan to cover is the best bet of the game at -110 odds.

The Jaguars will be without their leading rusher Fluff Bothwell, who elected to enter the transfer portal. Starting quarterback Gio Lopez is also questionable for the game, making the Broncos an easy bet on the spread at legal college football betting sites before any line movement.

The absence of South Alabama’s leading rusher hurts their pass game in addition to their rushing attack. If they cant establish the run to set up passing downfield to top receiver Jamaal Pritchett, the Jaguars are in serious trouble.

Touchdown Odds Confident In South Alabama Players

Three of the top four and six of the top eight players on the legal sports betting odds board for touchdowns play for South Alabama. Running back Kentrel Bullock leads the way at -250 odds.

Anytime Touchdown Scorer

• Kentrel Bullock -250
• Gio Lopez -125
• Jalen Buckley -114
• Jamaal Pritchett -110
• Jaden Nixon +100
• Braylon McReynolds +140
• DJ Thomas-Jones +185
• Jeremiah Webb +185
• Zahir Abdus-Salaam +185
• Kenneth Womack +200

Bullock had a solid season playing second-fiddle to Fluff Bothwell, rushing for 701 yards on 135 carries. He’ll be the lead back on Saturday against a Western Michigan defense that allowed 190.6 rushing yards per game this season.

Bullock’s -250 legal Alabama sports betting odds to score make sense but are too short to be worth a wager. Bet on Gio Lopez to score a touchdown on the ground instead, which hit in four of his last six games.
