68 Ventures Bowl betting
Last year’s LendingTree Bowl was one of the most lopsided of the Bowl Season. Malik Willis and the Liberty Flames routed the Eastern Michigan Eagles 56-20 behind five total TDs from Willis (three passing, two rushing). Liberty was an 8.5-point favorite (-120), but easily covered that spread. The over, set at 58.5 points, was nearly covered by Liberty themselves.
Liberty was among the most popular Bowl Confidence picks in both spread and outright.
Previous Years
In 2020, Georgia State covered a three-point spread, beating Western Kentucky 39-21. But before then, underdogs had covered in five straight games and in eight of the last ten– including five outright upsets. The run was needed, as underdogs failed to cover in nine straight years from 2001-09. Overall, favorites are 12-10-1 in the 68 Ventures Bowl.
Overs are 12-11 in the history of the bowl game, including 2-0 in each of the last two outings.
