Independence Bowl odds aren’t available yet, since the college football teams for this edition haven’t been announced. Be sure to stay updated and to check the odds.

Understanding the Independence Bowl Betting Odds

For example the 2021’s edition of the Independence Bowl featured the BYU Cougars and the UAB Blazers. The Cougars were slightly above the Blazers by nailing a 10-3 season record compared to UAB’s 9-4 record at the end of the college football regular season.

The Cougars were set as favorites for the Independence Bowl at -250 odds. That meant a $250 bet on the Cougars would allow bettors to make a $100 profit. On the other hand, a $100 bet on the Blazers at +220 would have made bettors a $220 profit.

Bettors, who also considered the Blazers at -7.5 and the over of 39.5 points, recorded some solid earnings, especially after the Blazers surpassed the Cougars 31-28.
