Prediction, betting odds and advice for Texas vs. Georgia in SEC Championship Game

Analyzing the SEC Championship Game between Texas and Georgia with odds and lines, predictions and best bets.

Texas vs. Georgia, the sequel. Georgia won the first game, but a lot has changed since.

The Longhorns and Bulldogs first squared off in Austin in October. The undefeated Longhorns were riding high. Georgia was desperate to avoid a second loss so early in the season. The ‘Dawgs won round one 30-15. If Georgia hadn’t won that first matchup, they wouldn’t be in Atlanta fighting for the SEC title.

How did Georgia win game one? First of all, a lot of short fields. Texas turned the ball over four times, three of those turnovers lead to UGA scores. Ewers didn’t play well and the vaunted Texas offensive line got whipped. The Texas defense still played well, intercepting Carson Beck three times.

The Bulldogs built a 23-0 halftime lead. The Horns stormed out of the locker room and scored 15 unanswered points in the third quarter. But a key Georgia trick play and a UT fumble ended Texas’ comeback bid.

Round two will be for the SEC Championship. Will it be Texas in its first year in the conference?

Texas vs. Georgia prediction, pick

For an 11-1 team, Texas has been through a good amount of adversity this season. I think losing to Georgia in October actually makes it more likely UT will win this game. Losing is a great teaching tool and revenge is an incredible motivator. If the Horns can block better than in the first game, they win.

Prediction: Texas 27, Georgia 21

Texas A&M Basketball vs Creighton: Channel, time, streaming info

Watch Texas A&M vs Creighton game today. Here’s how to watch, time, TV schedule, live streaming info, and game odds.

Tuesday night, No. 20 Texas A&M Aggies (4-2) will open up the Players Era Festival Tournament against the No. 21 Creighton Bluejays (4-2) at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, NV.

Both teams opened the tournament with a loss against an unranked team. The Aggies fell 80-70 to Oregon (6-0), and Creighton lost to San Diego St. (3-1). With them near the bottom of the top 25 rankings, another loss will more than likely see one of them on the outside looking in. The Bluejays suffered from the same issues in the first game. They shot horribly from the field and turned over the ball more.

The difference is the Texas A&M game against Oregon was much closer than the 10-point loss would indicate. A string of missed shots and forced fouls allowed the Ducks to extend their lead to a victory comfortably.

Below you can find all the information on how to follow the game.

Texas A&M vs Creighton predictions, picks, odds

Odds courtesy of BetMGM as of Wednesday, 11/27

This is another toss up Texas A&M is a slightly better team, but if they both shoot like they did in their first game it’s anyone’s guess on who will win. However, against tougher competition Creighton is scoring under 65 points and A&M is averaging over 70 points. I believe the Aggies have a big bounce back game beating the Bluejays by double digits.

Prediction: Texas A&M 75 – Creighton 60

Odds: Texas A&M by 3.5

O/U: 143.5

Texas A&M Basketball vs A&M-Commerce: Channel, time, streaming info

Watch Texas A&M vs A&M-Commerce game today. Here’s how to watch, time, TV schedule, live streaming info, and game odds.

Friday night the Texas A&M basketball team will step on the court at Reed Arena to face Texas A&M-Commerce (East Texas A&M) in their home opener.

The season opener didn’t go as planned for the Aggies, but they will have a chance to mark one in the win column before the weekend. In the five games played between the two teams the Aggies are a perfect 5-0 against the Lions with only the very first game being close.

This should be a comfortable win for Buzz William’s squad, but if we see another week of scoring droughts, poor perimeter defense, and missed free throws the game could be much closer than it should be. How they respond will show us where their mindset might be early this season.

Colts vs. Bengals: Prediction, point spread, best bet in Week 14

Here’s our betting preview for the Week 14 matchup.

The Indianapolis Colts (7-5) play the Cincinnati Bengals (6-6) on Sunday, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds and over/under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet.

The game starts at 1:00 p.m. ET and can be seen on CBS.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

In a matchup that features plenty of playoff implications, the Colts will be riding a four-game winning streak into Cincinnati. Meanwhile, the Bengals are coming off an impressive road win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in prime time—the first victory with Jake Browning under center. The Colts enter the weekend as the No. 6 seed with the Bengals one game behind them sitting at No. 10 in the AFC.

  • Point spread: Colts +2
  • Money line: +105 Colts / – 125 Bengals
  • Over-under: 44

Colts vs. Bengals injury report:

Check out the latest injury report here.

Advice and prediction

Zack Moss UNDER 74.5 rushing yards (-115)

There’s no denying how appreciative the Colts should be that Moss is able to step in as the starter with Jonathan Taylor (thumb) on the mend. However, this isn’t a matchup that’s lining up to be fruitful for offensive production. Even though he just got the starting role back last week, Moss hasn’t hit 70 rushing yards in a game since Week 5. Meanwhile, the Bengals have allowed just four running backs to surpass that mark this season. Expect Cincinnati to stack the box and force Gardner Minshew to beat them through the air. Maybe Moss is due, and he’s proven to show out enough at times. But it seems like a tough bet to make considering all the factors.

Prediction: Colts 27, Bengals 24

Colts vs. Titans: Prediction, point spread, best bet in Week 13

Here’s our betting preview for the Week 13 matchup between the Colts and Titans.

The Indianapolis Colts (6-5) play the Tennessee Titans (4-7) on Sunday, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds and over/under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet.

The game starts at 1:00 p.m. ET and can be seen on CBS.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Colts are riding a three-game winning streak for the first time since the 2021 season and currently sit at the No. 7 seed in the AFC playoff race with six games remaining. Even though they’ll be without Jonathan Taylor (thumb) for a few weeks, they’ll have Zack Moss to carry the load in the backfield. Meanwhile, the Titans just snapped a three-game losing streak and have lost five of their last seven.

  • Point spread: Colts -1
  • Money line: -120 Colts / +100 Titans
  • Over-under: 42.5

Colts vs. Titans injury report:

Check out the latest injury report here.

Advice and prediction

Michael Pittman Jr. OVER 72.5 receiving yards (-115)

There have been few receivers as consistent as Pittman this season. He has at least eight receptions in each of the last four games and has averaged 81.2 receiving yards per game over the last six games. Meanwhile, the Titans have allowed one receiver to surpass this line of 72.5 yards in four of the last five games so there’s a strong chance Pittman makes good on this bet.

Prediction: Colts 21, Titans 17

Michigan football vs. Iowa in Big Ten Championship: Prediction, point spread, odds, best bet

What you should know as well as our final prediction! #GoBlue

Michigan football took care of business against Ohio State last Saturday, clinching the Big Ten East for the right to play Big Ten West champion Iowa, in the Big Ten Championship game. It’s the second time in three years the Wolverines will face the Hawkeyes.

After missing three games due to a suspension by the Big Ten, head coach Jim Harbaugh will triumphantly return to the sidelines to coach in his seventh game of the year, and the team’s 13th of the season.

The game starts at 8 p.m. EST and can be seen on Fox.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Last week, the Wolverines had to hang on to beat the Buckeyes, but won thanks to a Rod Moore interception with approximately 30 seconds left in The Game. The maize and blue are big favorites in this matchup, which pits the No. 2 team in the country against the No. 16 team.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Point spread: Michigan -22.5
  • Money line: Michigan -2000, Iowa +1000
  • Over-under: 35.5

Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Michigan Wolverines injury report (last week):

Michigan

OUT

  • Zak Zinter (season)

questionable

  • Danny Hughes
  • Myles Hinton
  • LaDarius Henderson

Iowa

Out

  • Diante Vines
  • TJ Hall
  • Reese Osgood

  • Beau Stephens
  • Luke Lachey
  • Cade McNamara (season)
  • Erick All (season)
  • Cooper DeJean (season)

Questionable

  • Deontae Craig
  • Logan Jones

Advice and prediction

Michigan football has gotten through two of its big tests thus far this season but plays another otherworldly defense for the third time in four weeks. The Wolverines moved the ball well on Penn State on the ground and in both facets against Ohio State. This Iowa defense is particularly tough and doesn’t give up much of anything, but the pass game should be in a good situation, especially with defensive back Cooper DeJean out for the season.

On the other side of the ball, Michigan will have the second-toughest defense Iowa has seen all year (behind Penn State, when it was shut out). The Hawkeyes have, by far, the worst offense in the Power Five, and barring something up head coach Kirk Ferentz’s sleeve, shouldn’t be able to do much  with backup quarterback Deacon Hill and company.

Theoretically this should be a low-scoring game, but Michigan has weapons unlike what Iowa has seen this year and a defense that shouldn’t allow much on the other side. Not as lopsided as the 2021 contest, but we’re taking Michigan in the spread and the over.

Prediction: Michigan 35, Iowa 3

Nebraska vs. Iowa: Prediction, point spread, odds, best bet

The Nebraska Cornhuksers opened as a small favorite over Iowa but is now the favorites for Friday afternoon’s rivalry matchup.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers will look to achieve bowl eligibility in year one of the Matt Rhule era on Friday afternoon against the Iowa Hawkeyes at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln.

The Huskers and Hawkeyes are set to kick off at 11:00 a.m. CT on Friday, with the game televised nationally on CBS.

Entering game week, Vegas didn’t love the Huskers’ chances of doing so with the Iowa Hawkeyes opening as a slight one-point favorite. However, the betting public has quickly jumped on the matchup and has bet heavily in favor of the Huskers with the spread as of Tuesday morning flipping to -1.5 in favor of the Huskers according to BetMGM.

Similarly, the over/under for the game opened at an extremely low 29.5 points and has quickly been bet down to 26.5 points.

The Huskers enter the week in the midst of a three-game losing streak after winning five of six from mid-September through the end of October. This past weekend, they fell to the Wisconsin Badgers 24-17 in overtime on a three-yard touchdown run by Braelon Allen.

Iowa this past weekend clinched a spot in the Big Ten championship game with a 15-13 win over Illinois, their third win in a row since a controversial loss to Minnesota in late October. The Hawkeyes enter this week with a 9-2 record and ranked 16th in the College Football Playoff poll.

Nebraska leads the series all-time between the two programs 30-20-3 though the Hawkeyes have dominated the series of late winning eight of the last 10.

    • Point spread: Nebraska -1.5
    • Over-under: 26.5 points

Nebraska vs. Wisconsin: Prediction, point spread, odds, best bet

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have opened as a touchdown udnerdog to the Wisconsin Badgers for their primetime matchup on Satruday evening.

Following a second-straight field goal loss, this time a 13-10 defeat at the hands of Maryland, the Nebraska Cornhuskers have opened as a touchdown underdog for their road matchup against the Wisconsin Badgers, according to Bet MGM. The spread has since slid down slightly in favor of the Cornhuskers, with Wisconsin now a six-point favorite.

The Huskers and Badgers are set to kick off at 6:30 p.m. CT on Saturday, with the game televised nationally on NBC.

After winning five of six games following an 0-2 start, the Cornhuskers have lost back-to-back games to Michigan State and Maryland by a combined six points. Prior to defeating the Cornhuskers, both the Spartans and Terrapins were coming off extensive losing streaks, a six-game losing streak for Michigan State and a four-game losing streak for Maryland.

On the other side of the field, Wisconsin has lost four of their last five games, including three straight to Ohio State, Indiana, and Northwestern. The Badgers have dealt with numerous injuries throughout the season, including quarterback Tanner Mordecai and running back Chaz Mellusi.

Wisconsin leads the series all-time between the two programs 12-4, including winning nine straight since 2012.

    • Point spread: Wisconsin -6
    • Over-under: 34.5 Points

Colts vs. Patriots: Prediction, point spread, best bet in Week 10

The Colts ended their three-game losing streak with a road win in Week 9 and now travel to Germany to take on the Patriots, who have lost five of their last six and hold the worst record in the AFC. These two teams have met twice since the Tom Brady era ended, splitting those games 1-1. The Colts won the matchup in 2021 while the Patriots dominated their win in 2022.

  • Point spread: Colts -1.5
  • Money line: -130 Colts / +110 Patriots
  • Over-under: 43

Colts vs. Patriots injury report:

Check out the latest injury report here.

Advice and prediction

Michael Pittman Jr. OVER 65.5 receiving yards (-115)

There’s no telling how the overseas game will pan out, but one constant throughout the entire season for the Colts has been their leader in the wide receiver room. Only two players have at least eight receptions in two games this season. One is Tyreek Hill. The other is Pittman. He has reached 60 or more receiving yards in three out of his last four games while the Patriots have allowed the fifth-most receiving yards to wideouts over the last five weeks. With Josh Downs potentially missing this game or being extremely limited due to a knee injury, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Pittman was the sole focus in the passing game.

Prediction: Colts 23, Patriots 20

Michigan football vs. Penn State: Prediction, point spread, odds, best bet

Our final score prediction as well as set up for Michigan football’s Week 11 tilt in Happy Valley.

At the time of this writing, it’s assumed that Jim Harbaugh will be on the sidelines for Michigan football against No. 10 Penn State, but with the Big Ten contemplating action, it’s not a surety. Would it change the calculus if it’s Sherrone Moore on the sideline overseeing the entire operation? Or another coach? The Wolverines aren’t hoping to find out.

The game starts at noon EST and can be seen on Fox.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Last week, the Wolverines won emphatically, completely dominating Purdue, 41-13, even though it wasn’t the sharpest performance by the maize and blue.

It will be a closer point spread this week with it being a top-10 matchup, Michigan’s first ranked opponent of the year. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Point spread: Michigan -4.5
  • Money line: Michigan -210, Penn State +170
  • Over-under: 45.5

Penn State Nittany Lions vs. Michigan Wolverines injury report (last week):

Penn State

  • Mehki Flowers 1
  • Elliot Washington II
  • Chop Robinson

Questionable

  • Amin Vanover

Advice and prediction

Michigan football hasn’t played anybody, everyone says, and right now, the Wolverines have their backs against the wall given all of the off-field distractions. The maize and blue are theoretically better on both sides of the ball in terms of the trenches. J.J. McCarthy is better than Drew Allar. But the big question mark surrounds Jim Harbaugh with the game ensuing — will he be there? We’re betting yes, whether it’s because there’s no suspension or that Michigan gets an injunction. Penn State has looked pedestrian at times this year while the Wolverines have not. Michigan is just the better team.

We’re taking Michigan in the spread and the over.

Prediction: Michigan 37, Penn State 11
