Gator Bowl betting

Last year, Clemson won a wild back-and-forth game over Kentucky as -3.5 favorites. With a 38-35 final score, Kentucky ultimately covered the spread. 42 (Forty Two!!!) total points were scored in the fourth quarter, including 28 by Clemson. 35 of those points came in the final seven minutes and Clemson scored the game-winning touchdown with just 17 seconds on the clock. The game soared well over the 47.5-point total.

Previously, Notre Dame defeated South Carolina 45-38 in another high-flying affair. The Irish entered the game as -5.5 favorites, covering, and Over 50.5 points easily cleared. Tyler Buchner returned to the team after being hurt all year and accounted for five touchdowns (but also two pick-sixes). This game was the first one to hit the over in four seasons.

Before 2022, three straight unders cash in the Gator Bowl. Unders have also cashed in six of the last eight bowl games and are 21-11-1 since 1990. Favorites are 19-13 in that same stretch, but Wake broke up a run where underdogs hit in three of four outings.
