Quick Lane Bowl Odds

The Detroit Bowl is another postseason NCAA-approved college football bowl event sponsored by the Detroit Lions of the National Football League; it consists of an official event in which a Big Ten Conference school faces an Atlantic Coast Conference rival.

This year’s edition will be played at Ford Field in Detroit on December 24 at 8:00 PM ET.

Detroit Bowl odds aren’t yet available, since the teams haven’t been announced.

Last year’s clash between the New Mexico State Aggies and the Bowling Green Falcons was another doozy.

Understanding the Detroit Bowl Betting Odds

In the 2021 edition, the Western Michigan Broncos were up against the Nevada Wolf Pack. Given that both teams had finished the regular season stage with an 8-5 record, it was even trickier to label which team would be able to come up with a solid performance and a victory.

The Broncos were still above the Wolf Pack and were the favorites with -140 odds. This meant that for those bettors who played it safe, a $140 bet on the Broncos earned them a $100 profit.

Those who bet on the Wolf Pack as underdogs on a +150 moneyline would have made a $150 profit on a $100 wager. Those who also favored the +7.5 spread and over 43.5 points were right on target with their bets.
