There has been odd line movement in this matchup. South Alabama opened as a 9 point favorite at most books. Western Kentucky starting QB Austin Reed initially entered the transfer portal, but changed his mind and decided to come back and play in this game. His change of heart has brought this line all the way back to 3.5. Western Kentucky had 3 additional starters hit the transfer portal (2 offensive lineman and a tight end), and also had 2 other starters opt out of this game (cornerback & wide receiver). South Alabama has no opt outs or impact from the transfer portal. Our data suggests South Alabama is slightly better on both sides of the ball. This program has never won a bowl game, and has not played in one since 2016. Look for South Alabama to be heavily motivated to win this bowl for the program tonight. We will lay the -3.5 points for a half unit.
