Texas A&M at LSU odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s Texas A&M at LSU college football matchup, with NCAA football betting odds, picks and best bets

The Texas A&M Aggies (7-4, 4-3) will head to Death Valley in Baton Rouge, La., for a meeting with the second-ranked LSU Tigers (11-0, 7-0) on Saturday night. The SEC matchup will kick off at 7 p.m. ET from Tiger Stadium.

We analyze the Texas A&M-LSU odds and betting lines, while providing college football betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Texas A&M at LSU: Three things you need to know

1. The Tigers rank third in the country in scoring and second in passing yards this season, and the Texas A&M defense ranks tied for 25th and 22nd in each defensive category, respectively.

2. LSU safety Grant Delpit is expected to play after missing last week’s game against Arkansas with an ankle injury. OT Saahdiq Charles is also expected to return — and start — after being held out the last two games and six overall for “coach’s decisions.”

3. The Aggies had won four straight games before losing at Georgia last week 19-13. They scored at least 24 points in each of their previous six games.

Texas A&M at LSU: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Wednesday at 1:30 a.m. ET.

Prediction

LSU 42, Texas A&M 28

Moneyline (ML)

The Tigers have been the best team in the country all season and they’re not going to trip up this late in the season. They will win this game by at least two touchdowns, which is why the moneyline of -770 for LSU is so steep.

It’s not worth putting any money down on this one for either team to win straight up, and you’d be better off going against the spread. The Tigers never lose at home in night games, but the low return on LSU isn’t worth the risk.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on LSU to win would return a profit of $1.30.

Against the Spread (ATS)

LSU is a 16.5-point home favorite. Death Valley is going to be rocking, as it always is for night games. The Tigers are 5-2 ATS vs. teams with a winning record, but they’ve only covered the spread in one of their last five home games.

The Aggies upset LSU last season 74-72 in a wild 7 OT shootout, and they’ll at least keep this one relatively close. Bet TEXAS A&M (+16.5, -106) to cover the spread.

Over/Under (O/U)

The over/under of 61.5 is pretty high, but both offenses are playing well right now. LSU’s defense hasn’t been great in recent weeks, either, so the Aggies will be able to score. The total has gone over in 11 of the Tigers’ last 14 games and is 4-0-1 in LSU’s last five November games.

Bet OVER 61.5 (-106) in this game.

Texas at Baylor odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s Texas Longhorns at Baylor Bears college football matchup, with NCAA football betting odds, picks and best bets

The Baylor Bears (9-1) are hoping to secure a berth in the Big 12 Championship Game with a win over the Texas Longhorns (6-4) Saturday. This conference showdown will kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET from McLane Stadium We analyze the Texas-Baylor odds and betting lines, while providing college football betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Texas at Baylor: Three things you need to know

1. Texas has won each of the last three matchups with Baylor, outscoring the Bears by an average of 13 points per game. In the last 10 meetings, Texas is 6-4 straight up against Baylor but just 4-6 against the spread.

2. The Bears were undefeated before blowing a 25-point lead to Oklahoma last Saturday, dropping them to 9-1 on the year. They can still make the Big 12 championship game with a win over the Longhorns, though.

3. Texas has alternated wins and losses over its last six games, most recently losing to Iowa State last week, 23-21. The Longhorns are 3-3 ATS in that span.

Texas at Baylor: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 9 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Baylor 30, Texas 20

Moneyline (ML)

Baylor should win this game, especially with it being at home. The Bears are 11-1 SU in their last 12 games dating back to last season and are healthy entering this one against Texas.

Texas’ defense simply won’t be able to slow down the Bears offense enough in this one, allowing Baylor to come away with a win. Bet on BAYLOR (-223) to win straight up.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Baylor to win returns a profit of $4.48.

Against the Spread (ATS)

Texas is just 4-6 ATS this season, while Baylor is 5-2 ATS in its last seven games this season after starting 1-3. Baylor is 6-2 ATS against Big 12 teams, too.

The Bears are favored by 5.5 points,. It’s not a huge spread considering how poorly Texas has played lately. Take BAYLOR (-115) to cover the spread and win by at least six points.

Over/Under (O/U)

The total is set at 59.5 points, a fairly high number for this matchup. The combination of Texas’ struggling defense and Baylor’s consistent offense makes this seem like the Over is going to hit, but the total has gone Under in each of the last six meetings between these teams.

The total has gone Under in 11 of Texas’ last 15 road games, too. Take the UNDER (-110).

Penn State at Ohio State odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s Penn State at Ohio State college football matchup, with NCAA football betting odds, picks and best bets

The Penn State Nittany Lions (9-1, 6-1) will take on the undefeated Ohio State Buckeyes (10-0, 7-0) this weekend in one of the biggest games of the season in determining the potential Big Ten champion. The winner will have the inside track at the East Division championship, while the loser could be left on the outside looking in when it comes to the conference title game.

Kickoff is set for Saturday at noon ET at Ohio Stadium.

We analyze the Penn State-Ohio State odds and betting lines, while providing college football betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Penn State at Ohio State: Three things you need to know

1. Ohio State’s offense gets a lot of credit, but the defense has been phenomenal this season. The Buckeyes have allowed more than 14 points only twice this season — 21 points in the season-opening 45-21 win over Florida Atlantic, and last week’s 56-21 win over Rutgers.

2. Ohio State DE Chase Young is expected to play Saturday following a suspension handed down by the NCAA. He has 13.5 sacks in eight games and is among the favorites to go No. 1 overall in April’s draft.

3. Ohio State has won eight of its last 10 games against Penn State, averaging 33 points per game to the Nittany Lions’ 20. Penn State’s last win was in 2016, a 24-21 victory.

Penn State at Ohio State: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 8:30 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Ohio State 35, Penn State 24

Moneyline (ML)

Winners of 10 straight and eight of their last 10 against Penn State, the Buckeyes are most likely going to win this game. Ohio State has won 18 in a row at home, too, further bolstering their claim as the favorite in this one.

But as heavily favored as Ohio State is in this one, it’s not worth putting anything on the moneyline. The line for the Buckeyes sits at -1000, meaning you would only profit one-tenth of what you bet.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Ohio State to win returns a profit of $1.

Against the Spread (ATS)

The Buckeyes are 18.5-point favorites over the Nittany Lions, which is the largest spread between these two teams since Ohio State was a 20-point favorite in 2010. That’s a lot of points to give up in a rivalry game, even with Ohio State being 8-1 ATS in its last nine games this season.

Penn State has covered the spread in four of its last five games against the Buckeyes. Take PENN STATE (-110) to cover once again on Saturday, given the huge margin.

Over/Under (O/U)

The O/U is 57.5 points (-110 on both sides), a relatively reasonable number considering the Buckeyes average 51.5 points per game. The total has gone over in three of the last four games for both teams, and it will again on Saturday.

Bet the OVER (-110) in this one. The over is 4-0 in the Buckeyes’ last four games in November, and 13-5 in Penn State’s last 18 November games, too.

Georgia-Auburn odds: Bulldogs road favorites vs. Tigers

Previewing Saturday’s Georgia at Auburn college football matchup, with NCAA football betting odds, picks and best bets

The Auburn Tigers (7-2, 4-2 SEC) will try to play spoiler at home on Saturday afternoon against the Georgia Bulldogs (8-1, 5-1), who are trying to secure a spot in the College Football Playoff. Kickoff from Jordan-Hare Stadium is set for 3:30 p.m. ET.

We analyze the Georgia-Auburn odds and betting lines, while providing college football betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Georgia at Auburn: Three things you need to know

1. Auburn has a better record against the spread than does Georgia this season despite being one game back in the standings. The Tigers are 7-2 ATS, while Georgia is just 5-4 in its nine games.

2. Georgia is 5-1 ATS in its last six games against Auburn, winning five games outright. Auburn’s win came in 2017 as 2.5-point underdogs, beating the Bulldogs 40-17.

3. Georgia ranks fourth in the nation in run defense, allowing just 74.6 yards per game on the ground. Auburn is 19th in rushing offense, averaging 219.3 yards per game.

Georgia at Auburn: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 1:20 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Auburn 24, Georgia 21

Moneyline (ML)

Auburn has been great at home, going 3-0 this season. The Tigers may be underdogs, but I think they win this game outright. They’ve been great late in the season in recent years, going 7-1 in their last eight Week 12 games.

Bet AUBURN (+125) to pull off the upset in a close one at home against one of its SEC rivals. If not for a three-point loss to LSU, Auburn could be right in the thick of the playoff hunt.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Auburn to win returns a profit of $12.50.

Against the Spread (ATS)

The Tigers enter as 2.5-point home underdogs to Georgia, which means the oddsmakers view these teams as almost even on a neutral field. Auburn is a quality opponent for the Bulldogs, with their only two losses coming to Florida and LSU.

Auburn is 7-2 ATS this season and should be able to cover this margin, if not win straight-up. Take AUBURN (100) and the points.

Over/Under (O/U)

These two teams have solid defenses and offenses that are built on running the ball, which is why the over/under is just 40.5 points. But they’ll find enough offense to go over that total.

Even though the total has gone under in five of the last six games between these teams, take the OVER (-110) on Saturday.

LSU-Ole Miss odds: No. 1 Tigers overwhelming road favorites

Previewing Saturday’s LSU at Ole Miss college football matchup, with NCAA football betting odds, picks and best bets

Fresh off a win over Alabama, the No. 1-ranked LSU Tigers (9-0, 5-0 SEC) will take on the Ole Miss Rebels (4-6, 2-4) in Oxford, Miss., on Saturday night. Kickoff from Vaught-Hemingway Stadium will be at 7 p.m. ET. We analyze the LSU-Ole Miss odds and betting lines, while providing college football betting tips and advice on this matchup.

LSU at Ole Miss: Three things you need to know

1. The Tigers have beaten four teams ranked in the top 10 at the time in Texas, Florida, Auburn and Alabama. Still undefeated, they have the best resume in college football and are fourth in the country in scoring at 46.7 points per game.

2. LSU will, however, be without LT Saahdiq Charles (coach’s decision) on Saturday — the fifth time this season he will sit for that reason. RT Austin Deculus is a game-time decision with an undisclosed injury. He sounds unlikely to play.

3. Ole Miss RB Scottie Phillips is questionable to play due to an ankle injury. He’s the Rebels’ second-leading rusher this season, racking up 542 yards and 5 TDs.

LSU at Ole Miss: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 1 p.m. ET.

Prediction

LSU 35, Ole Miss 17

Moneyline (ML)

There’s very little doubt that the Tigers are going to win this one outright. That doesn’t necessarily mean you should touch the moneyline (-1250), though. A $10 bet on the LSU moneyline will only net you $0.80 — not worth the risk, in my mind.

Stay away from the moneyline in this one because of the lopsided nature of the matchup. Yes, LSU should win — and most likely will — but there’s such little upside that it’s not worth the risk.

Against the Spread (ATS)

The Tigers enter this game as 20.5-point favorites on the road. They looked dominant in the first half against Alabama and held on for the win, and that emotional victory could have some lingering effects on this one.

They’re 4-1 ATS against Ole Miss in their last five meetings, but the Rebels are 5-1 ATS in their last six games this season, so they’ve done a good job of covering despite their 4-6 overall record. Take the points with OLE MISS (+20.5, +105).

Over/Under (O/U)

It’s hard to see the Rebels scoring enough to push this game over 64.5 points, and LSU could be without both of their offensive tackles. The total has gone under in four of Ole Miss’ last five games, including each of the last three. The under is 2-1 in the Tigers’ last three games, too.

Bet the UNDER (-110). That total of 64.5 is too high.

Bowling Green-Miami (Ohio) odds: RedHawks big favorites over Falcons

Previewing Wednesday’s Bowling Green Falcons at Miami (Ohio) RedHawks sports betting odds and lines, with college football picks and tips.

The MAC East-leading Miami RedHawks (5-4) will face the Bowling Green Falcons (3-6) Wednesday night. Kickoff is at 8 p.m. ET from Fred C. Yager Stadium. We analyze the Bowling Green-Miami odds and betting lines, while providing college football betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Bowling Green at Miami (Ohio): Three things you need to know

1. Bowling Green has been held to 10 or fewer points four times this season and has been shut out twice. The Falcons average only 17.6 points per game, which is 122nd in the country. They scored 35 points in their last game against Akron, though.

2. Miami has won four of its last five games with its only loss in that stretch coming against Western Michigan. The RedHawks averaged 24.8 points per game in their last five but just 22.7 on the year (107th).

3. Miami is 110th in the country with an average of 124.7 rushing yards per game, but it could take advantage of Bowling Green’s porous run defense. The Falcons are giving up 214.4 rushing yards per game this season, among the worst in college football.

Bowling Green at Miami (Ohio): Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Miami 27, Bowling Green 17

Moneyline (ML)

The moneyline isn’t worth touching. Miami (-1250) is too heavy of a favorite to bet to win straight up, and it’s simply not worth the risk. The same goes for Bowling Green as the underdog at +590.

Bowling Green is 6-12 SU in its last 18 games against Miami, but 5-5 in the last 10 meetings. Still, it’s not worth putting any money here. Save it for the spread.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Miami returns a profit of $0.80.

Against the Spread (ATS)

The RedHawks are favored by 18.5 points in this one and it’s easy to understand why. Bowling Green has really struggled this season despite turning things around slightly of late.

Miami has covered the spread in four of its last five games and is 7-1 in its last eight games against MAC opponents. It’s difficult to see the RedHawks covering 18.5 points this time around with an offense that hasn’t been lighting up the scoreboard. Take BOWLING GREEN (-110) and the points.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Over/Under is 50.5 points and history says the total will go Over. In the last six games between these teams, the total has gone Over in five of them.

These offenses aren’t playing particularly well, though, so I’m inclined to take the UNDER (-110).
