Auburn at Alabama picks and predictions

Prediction

Alabama 38, Auburn 13

Moneyline

PASS.

The Crimson Tide are fighting for their College Football Playoff lives and need a dominating win. They should come out on top yet aren’t worth a play as sizable home favorites.

Against the spread

BET ALABAMA -11.5 (-110).

The Crimson Tide need a convincing performance, and while it could still be too late, a blowout would be helpful for their CFP chances. Alabama has covered in 3 of its last 4 games and is 4-2 ATS at home this season.

The Tigers are 4-4 ATS in their last 8 games and 1-2 ATS in their last 3 as underdogs. Auburn has struggled offensively, scoring 24 or fewer points in 6 of its last 8 games.

Expect a Crimson Tide blowout, and back ALABAMA -11.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 52.5 (-115).

The Tigers are 5-6 O/U on the season and just 2-4 O/U in their last 6 games. They have scored 17 or fewer in 3 of their last 6 and allowed 21 or fewer in 4 of their last 5.

Alabama is 6-5 O/U and has gone Under in 3 of its last 4 games. It has allowed a total of 44 points in its last 4 games. Considering those trends, back UNDER 52.5 (-115).

Utah at UCF picks and predictions

Prediction

UCF 34, Utah 20

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on UCF (-350) to win Friday.

Against the spread

BET UCF -10 (-110).

It a matchup between 2 teams that are struggling, UCF at home holds the advantage. With a strong run game contributing to a solid offense that has scored 24 or more points in 4 of its last 5 games, the Knights have what it takes for a commanding win.

Over/Under

BET OVER 46.5 (-110).

The Knights have an 8-3 Over record this season and have hit the Over in 4 of their last 5 games. They have scored 21 or more points in 5 straight games while allowing 31 or more in 4 of their last 5.

Oklahoma State at Colorado odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Oklahoma State at Colorado odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Oklahoma State Cowboys (3-8, 0-8 Big 12) take on the Colorado Buffaloes (8-3, 6-2) at Folsom Field Friday. Kickoff is set for noon ET (ABC). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Oklahoma State vs. Colorado odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Cowboys have lost 8 straight games after Texas Tech wiped them out 56-48 Saturday. They failed to cover as 4.5-point dogs. QB Maealiuaki Smith was 26-for-36 for 326 yards, 2 TDs and 1 INT. He also ran in a touchdown. RB Ollie Gordon rushed 15 times for 156 yards and 3 TDs, and he caught 3 balls for 30 yards.

The Buffs were euthanized by Kansas 37-21 Saturday, effectively ending their playoff hopes. They couldn’t stop Kansas RB Devin Neal, who rushed 37 times for 207 yards and 3 TDs. Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders was great, going 23-for-29 for 266 yards and 3 TDs. He connected with WR Travis Hunter 8 times for 125 yards and 2 TDs. The defeat dropped Colorado out of the top 25.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Oklahoma State at Colorado picks and predictions

Prediction

Colorado 38, Oklahoma State 24

Moneyline

There is some concern that Colorado would take its foot off the gas with no playoff hopes, but Coach Prime has said that his sons and Hunter would play in a potential bowl game. So Colorado should win, but this number is way too high.

I think Sanders’ passing number is, too. Take SHEDEUR SANDERS UNDER 334.5 PASSING YARDS (-115). He has only topped this number once in the last 5 games.

Against the spread

Oklahoma State is really bad this year. The Cowboys are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10, but they had an impressive cover at BYU and destroyed Tulsa. I think they’ll show up and cover the lofty spread. Take OKLAHOMA STATE +16.5 (-110).

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

OK State is 7-4 O/U this season, and Colorado is 6-4-1. After it put up 48 on Texas Tech, I’ve gained confidence in Oklahoma State’s offense, but 66.5 is a monstrous number. It falls just short.

LEAN UNDER 66.5 (-110).

Utah State at Colorado State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Utah State at Colorado State odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Utah State Aggies (4-7, 3-3 Mountain West) and Colorado State Rams (7-4, 5-1) meet Friday. Kickoff from Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins, Colo., is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (FS1). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Utah State vs. Colorado State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Aggies were eliminated from bowl eligibility with a seventh loss, 49-28 at Washington State Nov. 9. However, Utah State has picked up back-to-back victories, topping the Hawaii Rainbows 55-10 as a 2.5-point underdog, and 41-20 against San Diego State Aztecs as 5-point favorite. The Over has cashed in 3 straight, and 8 of the past 9 outings.

The Rams lost 28-22 at the Fresno State Bulldogs as a 3.5-point underdog last Saturday, as Colorado State was denied its 8th victory. That halted a 5-game win streak and 7-game cover streak. The Over was a rarity, too, as the Under was 6-2 in the previous 8 games.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Utah State at Colorado State picks and predictions

Prediction

Colorado State 38, Utah State 31

Moneyline

Colorado State (-184) will cost you nearly 2 times your potential return, and that’s just a little too much risk for not enough reward.

While Utah State (+152) is no longer eligible for a bowl, it continues full speed ahead, playing hard to the finish line. In fact, the Aggies are playing their best football of the season, so this won’t be easy for the Rams.

PASS.

Against the spread

Play COLORADO STATE -5.5 (-104) lightly in this Mountain West regular-season finale.

The Rams have been hot, but they’re trying to figure out how to snap a 5-game losing streak to Utah State +5.5 (-118) in the series. The Aggies have won consecutive games for the first time this season, while going 3-1 SU in the past 4 outings.

Proceed with caution, backing the Rams at home, but go with a half-unit at best.

Over/Under

OVER 58.5 (-110) might be the best play on the board in this MWC battle.

The Aggies have rolled up 48.0 PPG in the past 2 games, while scoring 27 or more points in 8 consecutive outings. The Over is 3-0 in the past 3 contest for USU, while cashing in 8-1 in the previous 9 outings.

For the Rams, they’ve cashed in 2 of the past 3 games, averaging 28.0 PPG in the 3-game span, while allowing 19.7 PPG. While defense has reigned supreme for Colorado State, the Over is a good play against a powerful Utah State offense.

Mississippi State at Ole Miss odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Mississippi State at Ole Miss odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Mississippi State Bulldogs (2-9, 0-7 SEC) and No. 16 Ole Miss Rebels (8-3, 4-3) meet Friday. Kickoff from Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Miss. is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN+). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Mississippi State vs. Ole Miss odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Ole Miss leads the all-time series 65-47-6, with the road team winning the past 3 meetings outright.

Ole Miss won the “Egg Bowl” last season by a 17-7 score in Stark Vegas, covering as 9-point favorites. The Under has cashed in each of the past 7 meetings, and 9 of the 10 battles since 2014.

While Mississippi State doesn’t have a lot of wins under its belt, topping just the FCS Eastern Kentucky Colonels and UMass Minutemen. However, the Bulldogs are an impressive 5-2 against the spread (ATS) in the past 7 games, while the Over has hit in 5 of the past 6 games, and 7-2 in the previous 9 outings.

Ole Miss all but likely saw its playoff hopes go up in smoke with a 24-17 loss last week at the Florida Gators as a 13-point underdog. However, it still has 8 victories, and a win in the Egg Bowl, with 9 total wins, will land Ole Miss a pretty strong bowl. The Under has cashed in 9 of the past 10 contests.

Mississippi State at Ole Miss picks and predictions

Prediction

Ole Miss 36, Mississippi State 19

Moneyline

Ole Miss (-4000) will set you back 40 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk and not enough reward in a rivalry game.

The Rebels have 8 victories this season, enter with a ranking, and they’ve won 3 of the past 4 in this series. However, it’s a rivalry game which has been very balanced in previous seasons, even when the records might not quite match up.

PASS.

Against the spread

Back MISSISSIPPI STATE +26.5 (-115), as that is a lot of points in a rivalry game.

The favorite cashed last season, but the underdog is 3-1 ATS in the past 4 meetings in this series, including 2 outright wins in the past 3 battles. The ‘dog is 5-3 ATS in the past 8 in the series, too, with Mississippi State holding a 4-3-1 ATS edge in that 8-game span.

Over/Under

UNDER 61.5 (-110) is worth a play in this series. The total has ended up going low in 7 straight battles in the series, while going 9-1 in the past 10 since 2014.

Be careful, though, as Ole Miss has cashed high on the total in 5 of the past 6 games. However, the Under has hit in a 2 in a row for Mississippi State, while going 9-1 in the previous 10 outings.

Miami (Ohio) at Bowling Green odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Miami (Ohio) at Bowling Green odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Miami (Ohio) Redhawks (7-4, 6-1 MAC) and Bowling Green Falcons (7-4, 6-1) meet Friday. Kickoff from Doyt L. Perry Stadium in Bowling Green, Ohio, is scheduled for noon ET (ESPNU). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Miami (Ohio) vs. Bowling Green odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Redhawks and Falcons meet in Bowling Green, and the winning side will be headed for the 28th MAC Championship Game in Detroit on Dec. 7.

Miami (Ohio) at Bowling Green picks and predictions

Prediction

Miami (Ohio) 19, Bowling Green 13

Moneyline

MIAMI (OHIO) (+115) is worth a look as a short ‘dogs on the road at Bowling Green (-138).

The Redhawks have won 4 of the past 5 meetings in this series, and Miami has been on fire with 6 straight wins. The Redhawks have a lot of talent on offense. QB Brett Gabbert has thrown for 2,355 yards, 18 TDs and 8 INTs, while RB Keyon Mozee has rushed for 937 yards, 6.6 yards per attempt and 3 scores, and WRs Reggie Virgil and Javon Tracy are a solid 1-2 punch downfield.

Against the spread

Back MIAMI (OHIO) +2.5 (-104) with the little bit of points, if you feel it will be a close game determined by 1 or 2 points.

Miami has covered 4 of the past 6 games during the win streak, while Bowling Green -2.5 (-118) have covered 3 of the past 4 outings. We’ll back Miami, simply based on its dominance in the series in recent years.

Over/Under

UNDER 38.5 (-110) is an awful low number in this day and age of college football, however this is a throwback game.

The Under has cashed in 6 of the past 7 games for Bowling Green, allowing exactly 13 points in each of the past 3 games, while allowing 17 or fewer points in 5 of the past 6 contests.

Miami has allowed only 16 total points in the past 2 games, and it has allowed 14 or fewer points in 4 of the previous 6 outings. This is going to be a low-scoring affair.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Nebraska Cornhuskers (6-5, 3-5 Big Ten) meet the Iowa Hawkeyes (7-4, 5-3) at Kinnick Stadium Friday. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (NBC). Below, we look at Nebraska vs. Iowa odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Nebraska at Iowa picks and predictions

Prediction

Iowa 28, Nebraska 21

Moneyline

PASS.

I feel like the trendy pick is to take Nebraska (+135) on the moneyline but I’m going to other way. This will be a Friday night letdown for the Cornhuskers. I’m gonna take my bet to the spread with the Hawkeyes.

Against the spread

BET IOWA -3.5 (-105).

The Cornhuskers have covered just once in their last 3 games, while Iowa has covered in 3 of their last 4. Nebraska is coming off an emotional win over Wisconsin to secure its first bowl bid since 2016, but their inconsistency remains an issue, with 5 losses this season and struggles at QB.

Iowa boasts one of the nation’s best rushing attacks and a defense ranked 26th against the run. The Hawkeyes have forced over 20 turnovers, which could spell trouble for Nebraska’s freshman quarterback. Iowa has also dominated this series, winning 8 of the last 9 meetings and covering in 7 of the last 10.

With a night game in Iowa City and the Hawkeyes’ steady play on both sides of the ball, Iowa is the safer pick against Nebraska’s up-and-down performances.

Over/Under

BET OVER 40.5 (-105).

Despite both teams boasting strong defenses, this matchup could hit the Over. Nebraska has gone Over in 2 of its last 3 games, while Iowa has hit the Over in 5 of its last 6 contests. Additionally, the over is 6-0 in Iowa’s home games and 3-1 in Nebraska games with totals of 42 or lower. Both offenses are capable of breaking off explosive plays, making the low total in this game an intriguing opportunity.

Oregon State at Boise State picks and predictions

Prediction

Boise State 41, Oregon State 17

Moneyline

PASS.

The Broncos (-1000) have the College Football Playoff on their mind and won’t want a late-season loss so they should win at home. Oregon State (+650) hasn’t proven enough to assume it can pull off the upset.

Avoid a play here though as the Broncos are far too expensive.

Against the spread

BET BOISE STATE -18.5 (-110).

The Broncos have been a double-digit favorite in 6 of their last 7 games, going 3-2-1 ATS in those. They are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 home games.

The Beavers offense has been too inconsistent to assume it can score enough to keep this game close. They have tallied just 61 points total in their last 4 games. Oregon State is 1-6 ATS in its last 7 games and is 0-3 ATS in its last 3 road games.

Take BOISE STATE -18.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 57.5 (-110).

The Beavers are 6-3 O/U in their last 9 games and have given up at least 28 points in all but 2 of those. They allowed 49 to Oregon in Week 3, and Boise State has a similarly paced offense.

The Broncos are 7-4 O/U and have scored at least 42 points twice in their last 4 games. Boise State has tallied at least 56 in a game 4 times. It has an offense capable of running up the score. Expect it to do so Friday with the CFP committee watching.

Back OVER 57.5 (-110).

Georgia Tech at Georgia odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Georgia Tech at Georgia odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (7-4) and the No. 6 Georgia Bulldogs (9-2) tangle in a rivalry battle Friday in Athens. The opening kickoff at Sanford Stadium will be at 7:30 p.m. ET (ABC). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Georgia Tech vs. Georgia odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Georgia Tech heads to Athens with a two-game win streak in tow. The Yellow Jackets upset current No. 7 Miami 28-23 on Nov. 9. After a bye week, they returned to action with a taut 30-29 triumph over the NC State Wolfpack on Nov. 21. An 18-yard TD by QB Aaron Philo with 22 seconds remaining leapfrogged Georgia Tech past the Wolfpack after NC State had taken a lead with 90 seconds left. GTU failed to cover as -7.5 favorites.

Georgia has won back-to-back games after losing to current No. 16 Ole Miss Nov. 9. Last Saturday, the Bulldogs trounced UMass 59-21 (failing to cover a -42.5) in a non-conference game.

Georgia has won 6 in a row against the Yellow Jackets. That includes a 31-23 conquest last year in Atlanta (ATS win for +25.5 GTU and an Under 59.5).

Georgia is ranked No 6 in the US LBM Coaches Poll, conducted by the American Football Coaches Association and USA TODAY Sports

Georgia Tech at Georgia picks and predictions

Prediction

Georgia 31, Georgia Tech 16

Moneyline

No interest. PASS.

Against the spread

Georgia Tech hung tough in last year’s meeting and has won 2 series contests in a row against the number.

Georgia is just 1-3 ATS over its last 4 games, and the 1 win came after a near-garbage-time score late in a Nov. 16 game against the Tennessee Volunteers.

The Bulldogs are solid on defense but nothing like the havoc-causing brick wall they have been in recent seasons. From a drive-based analytics perspective, the UGA defense has been really exceptional 4 times this season, and none of those occurrences have been over the last 3 weeks. That defense goes against a GTU offense that figures as a somewhat more dangerous one than what pops in a scoring average of 27.9 points per game.

The Yellow Jackets excel in avoiding disruptive plays, and they are solid in staying on schedule. They’ll want to lean on the run, and that plays away from the ball-hawking strength of the UGA defense.

When the Bulldogs have the ball, big plays are a bit of a weakness for Georgia Tech. But cranking out big plays on offense is not a Georgia strength.

The Yellow Jackets are afforded a big number here: TAKE GEORGIA TECH +19.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Under has gone 3-1 across GTU’s last 4 games and 4-1 in the Yellow Jackets’ last 5 on the road.

Peg the visitors at doing enough in the ball-control department to whittle down the play count on what is forecasted as a chilly night in Athens. But GTU struggles mightily at finishing on drives.

Consider a partial-unit play on the UNDER 51.5 (-115).
