The Alabama Crimson Tide was set to win the 2021 NCAA National Championship but could not make it to the championship game.

On the other hand, those who bet on the Bearcats as underdogs missed their chance to earn a $250 profit for every $100 wager placed on them.

Those who bet on the under 41.5 and the +7.5 may have also increased their profits. The Cotton Bowl spread is one of the great market options for this type of games.
