What AutoZone Liberty Bowl Odds Can Do for You

During a previous edition of the Liberty Bowl, the Texas Tech Raiders faced the Mississippi Bulldogs. Both teams arrived at the event with a 7-6 season record each.

Still, the Red Raiders were placed as the favorite team at odds. That meant that a $180 wager on Texas Tech at a -180 moneyline would earn bettors a $100 profit. On the other hand, having taken a chance on the Bulldogs could have made bettors a $240 profit based on a $100 wager on a -240 Moneyline.

Those bettors who also took a chance and favored the +8.5 and the under 42.5 would have also nailed a solid profit.
