College Football Picks

Most haven’t watched any Indiana Hoosiers college football this year so the public perception is that they’re still bad. That isn’t the case this year though, as they’re 7-2 and have looked downright impressive at times. With a spread of +14.5 we’re getting three scores here which gives them serious consideration for our underdog bet of Week 12 college football!

The Navy Midshipmen have been a major thorn in the keister of the Fighting Irish in recent years. The current point spread of 7 suggests the bookmaker things Navy has a real shot of winning this game. Get Mike’s take on this head-scratcher before placing your bet!

San Diego State will look to rebound from a shocking 17-13 loss to Nevada as a 17-point favorite in their latest when they take on Fresno State on Friday night. CFB handicapper Dan Jamison digs into the matchup and gives out his suggested bet.

Best Bet Alert! Despite the Oregon Ducks having one of the stronger home field advantages in college football, they’re laying way too many points to the Arizona Wildcats. The Ducks have been lacking the killer instinct this season. We’re calling this the best value on Week 12’s board!

An ACC battle on Thursday night has the Tar Heels visiting the Panthers in Pittsburgh. Both squads have been competitive in all their matches with every loss incurred being by seven or fewer points. The last three meetings have been decided by a field goal or less making the taking the points possibly the bet way to go.

With the Nebraska Cornhuskers having a miserable season and only 1-8 against the point spread, their Week 12 line of +13.5 is somewhat baffling. It screams trap game but Ted thinks the Badgers will get the money anyway.

The LSU Tigers are in a huge letdown spot here after upsetting the Alabama Crimson Tide last week, however, Jay thinks they’ll come out strong anyway vs. one of the weakest teams in the SEC.

Generally speaking, large underdogs of this nature cover the spread at a rate of around 60%. While the Clemson Tigers are likely to roll in this game, don’t discount the Demon Deacons when it comes to the money. They’re 7-3 and will be bringing it as this is their Super Bowl.

The poor Bulldogs! Having to face Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide after a loss is like eating a mouthful of habanero peppers with no milk nearby. The hornets nest has been shaken and the Bulldogs are going to get stung.

Jalen Hurts and the Sooners just about got knocked off last week vs. Iowa State. Things don’t get any easier this week as they face the undefeated Baylor Bears in Texas. This is one of my favorite bets of Week 12 college football!

The MAC games have been tough to forecast this season, but this one has one team that has a few angles in their favor. They’ve won all five of their home games playing a team who is just 1-5 on the road this season and laying less than the field goal. Read on to see where Dan’s money is landing on Wednesday’s game.

Georgia has just one loss on the season and that came against South Carolina 20-17 who they out yarded 468-297, but finished -4 in turnovers. The 20 points scored were the highest scored against them and that included seven points scored via a 53 yard interception return. Defense wins championship but can it lead the Dawgs to a cover?

WMU has the better record this season both straight up and against the spread, and find themselves as the smallest of favorites listed at -1. The trends also point to the road team with the visitor winning and getting the point spread cover in three straight.

A -9.5 betting line is pretty hefty for a college football team not at the top of their game and who could be considered one dimensional. The Iowa Hawkeyes will be a LIVE underdog bet in Week 11 NCAA football action!

Clemson has dominated ACC opponents winners of 19 straight. However, NC State has played them tough, covering the point spread in 6 of the last 9 meetings. Underdogs of +32 or bigger generally cover over 60% of the time. Take the points and slug down some Pepto Bismol!

Point spreads over 32 generally only cover 33% of the time. While Ohio State is a monster, it’s highly unlikely that they’ll be motivated to win this game by 7+ scores. There’s excellent underdog value here with the Terps in what will amount to be one of the strongest bets on the Week 11 college football card.
