On Saturday, kickoff in the Cramton Bowl in Montgomery, Alabama, is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET. In the most recent South Alabama vs. Western Michigan odds, the Jaguars are favored by 6.5 points after opening at -8.5.
Given that the game will take place in Mobile, fewer than 200 miles from the USA campus, the Jaguars have a geographic edge. Major Applewhite, the first-year head coach of South Alabama, is accustomed to the big stage. Applewhite has coached at Alabama, Texas, and Houston after having a stellar quarterbacking career at Texas.
Jamaal Pritchett, a wide receiver for South Alabama, has the ability to change the course of games. One of the top route runners in the Sun Belt league, the 5-foot-8 senior has a talent for getting open. Pritchett has 91 receptions, 1,127 yards, and nine touchdowns in 2024 going into Saturday.
The Broncos finished their regular season with a decisive victory against rival Eastern Michigan, which qualified them for the bowl. WMU is making its first playoff campaign under second-year head coach Lance Taylor and is participating in its eighth bowl game in the previous eleven seasons.
The Broncos average 29.4 points each game, which puts them top in the MAC in terms of scoring.

The former transfer from Old Dominion has completed 2,214 yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions on 67% of his attempts. In his debut season with the team, running back Jaden Nixon has also had an exceptional season, carrying for 874 yards and 12 touchdowns.
