2 Keys to Bet on South Alabama vs Western Michigan
1. Home Support with Jaguars
Expectations are high for the Jaguars, who get the bonus of playing in Alabama, which is why the NCAAF spread opened them at -10.
They were beaten by Texas State 45-38 in their last most recent game, but it was a solid effort in defeat, and we’re not surprised to see them listed as the outright favorites in a bowl game.

The 2024 IS4S Salute to Veterans Bowl will mark the third-straight bowl game for South Alabama. The Jags played in the 2022 New Orleans Bowl and the 2023 68 Ventures Bowl before this year’s game. This will also be the fifth bowl game South… pic.twitter.com/jeBL51B26U

However, covering the -7 spread against the Broncos won’t be easy, which is why there was early trepidation with the oddsmakers. The -10 line quickly moved to -7, so bettors expect a much closer game than the lines suggest.
It looks like a close matchup, especially between quarterbacks. Per South Alabama vs Western Michigan stats, Jaguars QB Gio Lopez owns 18 touchdowns and five interceptions, so he is playing well, and he would love to cap off the year with a bowl win.
They’re right to be confident in their chances, but how they bounce back from a loss will make for interesting viewing.

2. Broncos Seek Big Upset
Our NCAAF picks this week include the Broncos to score an upset win at +235 with ML odds and +7 with spread lines.
Things weren’t looking good for the Broncos after dropping three consecutive games to fall to 5-6, but they won a key game against Eastern Michigan last week and that propelled them into a bowl game.
It hasn’t been the finest year for the Mid-American Conference team, but they have scored some good wins, including a 52-21 rout of Kent State. Something close to that would be good enough, and their confidence levels are high following a win.
“We are excited for the opportunity to compete in Montgomery, Alabama in the IS4S Salute to Veterans Bowl.,” said second-year head coach Lance Taylor. “This is a great opportunity for our football program and our university. South Alabama is a well-coached, physical team that will be a great test for our team.
“This is the 12th bowl game in school history and we are thrilled to represent Bronco Nation and WMU in this awesome bowl game!”
We love the enthusiasm and we love the +7 line, so we’re backing the underdogs to play well in our online bets.
Bet Western Michigan +7 vs South Alabama
Best Bet for South Alabama vs Western Michigan
Our college football predictions have the Broncos covering the +7 spread and under 57½ in what could be wet conditions on Saturday.
There is rain expected throughout the week in Alabama, and although the offenses can score points, if it’s a wet game, expect to see more field goals than touchdowns.
The total 57½ points is a sizable line for this bowl game, so it’s one of our more confident picks and college football best bets.
