In the January edition of the 2022 Sugar Bowl, the Baylor Bears faced the Ole Miss Rebels. The Bears were well above the Rebels and were placed as the favorite.

That means those bettors who placed a $250 bet on the Bears at a -250 moneyline recorded a $100 profit. On the other hand, those who bet on the Rebels as underdogs at a +180 moneyline missed the chance to record a $180 profit for every $100 bet.

Those bettors who favored the under 43.5 and the +9.5 spread also had a chance to pick up a solid win.
