This means the Wildcats are expected to win by at least three touchdowns. The odds on the spread are -110 on both sides, so the sportsbook is balanced on where bettors might lean.

South Alabama’s moneyline is 850, so a $100 bet would pay $850 if they pulled off the upset. That’s a big payout but reflects the challenge they face.
