What Gator Bowl Odds Can Do for You

During the 2021 edition of the Gator Bowl, the Wake Forest Demon Deacons appeared as the favorite team to take the event by finishing the season with an 11-3 season record.

The Demon Deacons were up with a moneyline set at -150, which implied that a $150 bet on the Wake Forest would allow bettors to record a $100 profit. Those who bet on the underdogs, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, at a +240 moneyline missed the chance to make a $240 profit for every $100 wager.
