Clemson at South Carolina odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s Clemson Tigers at South Carolina Gamecocks sports betting odds and lines, with college football betting picks.

The Clemson Tigers (11-0) and South Carolina Gamecocks (4-7) play Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, SC at 12 p.m. ET. We analyze the Clemson-South Carolina odds and betting lines while providing college football betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Clemson at South Carolina: Three things you need to know

1. Undefeated Clemson is ranked third in the polls as it tries to solidify its playoff ranking Saturday. The Tigers will play either Virginia or Virginia Tech in the ACC Championship game next week. Winning twice increases their chances of a higher seed.

2. South Carolina lost to Texas A&M 30-6 last week to drop its fourth contest in five games. This also ensured the Gamecocks would not be bowl eligible this season.

3. Tigers RB Travis Etienne steals the show. He leads the country in yards per carry at 8.73 and ranks seventh overall with 1,335 rushing yards.

Clemson at South Carolina: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 12:30 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Clemson 45, South Carolina 10

Moneyline (ML)

The moneyline wasn’t posted at the time of publishing. Due to the sizable spread in Clemson’s favor, the odds for the outright victory would be too chalky and not worth a wager.

Against the Spread (ATS)

Clemson is 8-3 against the spread overall and 3-1 on the road, coming in just 0.6 points per game above the line. South Carolina is 4-2 ATS at home and is four points above the projection line. South Carolina has fared poorly against ranked teams and hasn’t faced a team like Clemson this year.

Back the TIGERS (-26.5, -110). With QB Trevor Lawrence and Etienne, Clemson is too balanced to be slowed down by South Carolina.

Over/Under (O/U)

The projected total is 51.5. South Carolina will send this one over the number with some late, garbage-time points. The Tigers put up their points early and the OVER (+100) is our pick.

Missouri at Arkansas odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Friday’s Missouri Tigers at Arkansas Razorbacks sports betting odds and lines, with college football betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Missouri Tigers (5-6, 2-5 SEC) and Arkansas Razorbacks (2-9, 0-7 SEC) play Friday at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, AR at 2:30 p.m. ET. We analyze the Missouri-Arkansas odds and betting lines while providing college football betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Missouri at Arkansas: Three things you need to know

1. Arkansas played about 15-20 minutes of sound, fundamental football last Saturday against LSU. Then the wheels fell off. A 7-6 game became a 56-20 rout as LSU coasted to a 36-point win. That was Arkansas’ eighth straight loss.

2. Missouri lost to Tennessee 24-20 last week to drop its fifth straight contest in a row. Plus, the Tigers’ bowl ban was upheld this week so they have little to play for but pride.

3. Arkansas may be down to QB Jack Lindsey as a starter. That would be their fifth-string quarterback who was given a scholarship just in August. Missouri hasthe banged-up Kelly Bryant under center.

Missouri at Arkansas: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 2:30 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Missouri 38, Arkansas 20

Moneyline (ML)

Missouri is laying -556 on the moneyline and Arkansas is +400 in this rivalry game.

Arkansas must run often to keep Missouri off the field. RB Rakeem Boyd has gained 1,038 yards and behind one of the worst offensive lines in the SEC. That being said, Missouri has too much firepower not to win with ease. Arkansas allows 6.9 yards per carry (125th in the FBS). The odds are just too chalky with a $10 bet garnering a profit of $1.80. PASS.

Against the Spread (ATS)

Arkansas is 3-8 against the spread overall and just 1-5 ATS at home, coming in just under 18 points per game below the line. Missouri is 0-4 ATS on the road and has an even worse -22.2 points off the projection line. However, Arkansas is likely down to its fifth-string quarterback Friday.

Back the TIGERS (-12.5, -115). Missouri QB Kelly Bryant has a chance to get well and end his senior season on a good note.

Over/Under (O/U)

The projected total is 54.5. This will be close but it is hard not to side with the OVER (-106). Arkansas has shown it can keep up with teams but cannot stop them once they string some plays together. Missouri should be able to do that enough to make this Over a reality.

Alabama at Auburn odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s Alabama Crimson Tide at Auburn Tigers college football matchup, with NCAA football betting odds, picks and best bets

The Alabama Crimson Tide (10-1, 6-1 SEC West) travel to Jordan-Hare Stadium to face the Auburn Tigers (8-3, 4-3) in their annual in-state Iron Bowl battle at 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday. We analyze the Alabama-Auburn odds and betting lines, while providing college football betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Alabama is No. 5 and Auburn is No. 16 in the Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA Today Sports. Meanwhile, the Tide are also fifth in the College Football Playoff Rankings, while the Tigers are 15th.

Alabama at Auburn: Three things you need to know

1. Auburn sends its fans to the pay window often. Under coach Gus Malzahn, the Tigers are 7-2 against the spread as a home underdog and 8-2 ATS in its 10 games.

2. Neither team is starting the quarterback they intended to have under center at the start of the season. With Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa out for the season, sophomore Mac Jones gets his first “real” start. At Auburn, true freshman Bo Nix was pressed into action earlier than expected when starter Malik Willis was denied an eligibility waiver. This will be the first Iron Bowl for both starting QBs.

3. The eight wins Nick Saban has vs. Auburn in the Iron Bowl as ‘Bama’s head coach have come by an average of 24½ points.

Alabama at Auburn: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 1:50 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Alabama 27, Auburn 20

Moneyline (ML)

This is about as low a moneyline (-182) as you’ll ever see for Alabama. However, Auburn (+150) often plays Alabama tough, having won five of the last eight meetings between the two. This game doesn’t look to have blowout potential, so, if you’re think the Tigers will protect their home field, getting +150 is a pretty nice return. But we’re taking ALABAMA to win outright and investing to get a return.

Against the Spread (ATS)

The spread is Alabama -4.5 (+105 for Alabama, -125 for Auburn) and the better-than even money odds are also a rarity for ‘Bama. This one smells of a trap, which the boys in Vegas often do to entice bettors to take the side they want them to. That being said, the slim hopes Alabama has to make the championship playoff needs a decisive win. We don’t expect a blowout, but we can envision the Crimson Tide keeping their foot on the gas if they get an early lead. Take ALABAMA and lay the points.

Over/Under (O/U)

This is a tough one because Alabama is averaging 48½ points a game by itself. Saturday’s O/U is 50.5 (-106 on the Over, -115 on the Under). All the talk this week is about the offenses, but both defenses are allowing just 16 points a game and are capable of dominating. You have two unproven quarterbacks in Jones and Nix in the biggest game of their lives in this in-state rivalry, and we can see the potential for the defenses to dictate the pace of the game and both teams needing to run the ball and prevent turnovers. Take the UNDER.

Florida State-Florida odds, picks and best bets

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

The Florida State Seminoles (6-5) will take on the Florida Gators (9-2) this weekend in an ACC-SEC clash at The Swamp in Gainesville. Kickoff from Florida Field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday night.

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

Florida State at Florida: Three things you need to know

1. Florida State’s leading rusher, Cam Akers, is expected to return on Saturday after missing last week’s game against Alabama State with an unspecified injury. He has 1,042 yards and 13 touchdowns this season.

2. Florida has won back-to-back games in dominant fashion after losing two of its previous three games. The Gators beat Missouri 23-6 two weeks ago after blowing out Vanderbilt 56-0 the week before.

3. Florida has won six games at home this season while Florida State’s win at Boston College ended a six-game road losing streak dating back to last season.

Florida State at Florida: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Wednesday at 3 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Florida 30, Florida State 17

Moneyline (ML)

Florida is the heavy favorite in this matchup with the game on home turf. As a result, the -1000 moneyline on the Gators is steep and not worth betting — even though Florida should come away victorious.

The Gators are just 3-7 against the Seminoles in their last 10 meetings and 1-5 in the last six.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Florida to win would return a profit of $1.

Against the Spread (ATS)

The Gators enter as 17.5-point favorites, which isn’t surprising given how much better they’ve been this season. Florida State has limped through a disappointing campaign, but the Seminoles have scored 87 points in their last two games, so if they can score enough, it’ll be tough for Florida to cover the spread.

Not to mention, Florida State is 6-3 ATS in its last nine games against the Gators. Bet the SEMINOLES (+17.5, -106) to cover the spread.

Over/Under (O/U)

The O/U is 53.5 in this matchup and both teams come in hot offensively. The Gators defense has been dominant this season, and in the last 19 games between these two teams, the total has gone under 14 times.

Bet the UNDER 53.5 (-106) on Saturday because it’ll be tough for Florida State to get much going offensively.

Texas projected to face Texas A&M in the Texas Bowl

ESPN is projecting Texas to face Texas A&M in the Texas Bowl. It would be the first time they would play since the rivalry ended in 2011.

In ESPN’s latest bowl projection, Mark Schlabach projects one of the country’s best rivalry not only to come back but to be played in Houston, TX. Schlabach thinks the Longhorns will face off against former in-state rival Texas A&M in the Academy Sports + Outdoors Texas Bowl on Dec. 27.

A historic matchup that has been played 118 times, Texas has double the number of wins the Aggies do, leading the series 76-37-5. It was played for the final time in 2011 when Texas A&M decided to join the SEC. In the final game, Justin Tucker hit a game-winning field goal to give Texas a classic 27-25 win.

Since that moment, there have been continuous questions of when these two teams will play again. Either in a bowl game or scheduling a home and home series, the fans agree the Longhorns and Aggies need to play each other.

“Us not playing Texas A&M is not good for college football,” Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte said. “We’d love to play A&M.”

There were reports that Texas reached out to Texas A&M to renew the series with a home and home series in 2022 and 2023, but the Aggies “were already booked,” said Texas A&M athletic director Scott Woodward said.

Since being in the SEC in 2012, the Aggies have only had less than four losses once. Before leaving the Big 12, it had been since 1998 since they only had three losses. They agreed to play against Kansas State in the 2016 Texas Bowl but lost to the Wildcats 33-28.

[opinary poll=”do-you-want-to-see-texas-play-texas-am-i” customer=”collegewires”]

While the basketball teams will play each other on Dec. 8, this rivalry will remain all talk until the two meet again on the football field. With both teams expected to end their season 7-5, the opportunity for the two schools will be there to play in the Texas Bowl. While there have been rumors that the Aggies would turn down that opportunity, the two schools need to find a way to face off against each other.

Ole Miss at Mississippi State odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Thursday’s Ole Miss Rebels at Mississippi State Bulldogs sports betting odds and lines, with college football picks and best bets

The Ole Miss Rebels (4-7, 2-5 SEC West) lock horns with the Mississippi State Bulldogs (5-6, 2-5) Thanksgiving night at 7:30 p.m. ET in the annual Egg Bowl in Starkville, Miss. We analyze the Ole Miss-Mississippi State odds and betting lines, while providing college football betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Ole Miss at Mississippi State: Three things you need to know

1. This is the only bowl the Rebels will be participating in this season, but they’d like to make it so the same applies to their rivals. A win by Ole Miss would deal Mississippi State its seventh loss and prevent a postseason berth.

2. Ole Miss might have a losing record, but it’s a darling at the betting window with a 6-1 against the spread mark across the past seven. Mississippi State is 2-5 ATS in the past seven overall, and 1-5 ATS in the past six inside the SEC.

3. The Egg Bowl has been defensive lately, cashing the Under in five of the past six meetings, and each of the past four in Starkville.

Ole Miss at Mississippi State: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Wednesday at 3:45 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Ole Miss 29, Mississippi State 27

Moneyline (ML)

Go lightly on OLE MISS (+110) in this rivalry game, as the Rebels will be motivated to keep Mississippi State (-134) nailed to the couch for the postseason. The Rebels rolled up huge yardage on the ground last week against LSU. QB John Rhys Plumlee was a one-man wrecking crew, going for 212 yards and four touchdowns on the ground, and RB Jerrion Ealy gobbled up 141 yards on 13 totes. Hotty Toddy!

New to sports betting? Every $1 wagered that Ole Miss will win outright will return a profit of $1.10.

Against the Spread (ATS)

There isn’t a lot of sense taking Ole Miss (+2.5, -110), unless you feel it’s going to lose by one or two points. The Rebels are a much better value on the moneyline. If you feel Mississippi State (-2.5, -110) will extend its school-record streak to 10 consecutive seasons with a bowl appearance, then get out your cowbell and back the Bulldogs. I will not be joining you.

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS. The projection of 58.5 is a good total. My lean would be to go Under based on the trends in this series, and the fact we just haven’t seen a lot of consistent football out of these two sides; however, I can easily see the game going Over, as Plumlee and the Rebels’ rushing attack raised eyebrows gouging potential playoff-bound LSU for huge chunks of real estate a week ago.

What to look for in the CFP selection committee’s fourth rankings

The College Football Playoff selection committee will once again release its rankings on Tuesday. Here’s what to look out for.

As usual, the College Football Playoff selection committee will release its rankings on Tuesday night. What should fans be looking for as we enter the final regular-season weekend of college football?

Interestingly enough, we are at a point in the season where there isn’t so much to learn about any team. We know that the top 17 teams are locked in to their spots, though there will obviously be shuffling. We know the contenders and the scenarios they want.

There really aren’t too many hints the committee can send us this week. There are some things to key in on, though, so let’s look at what we can see.

Obviously, there will be meaningless quibbles at the top. Who will be No. 1? Both Ohio State and LSU have very strong resumes and cases for being the top team. Ultimately, though, that won’t matter. Those are the top two, and that status quo will continue as long as each keeps winning. It’s splitting hairs, and it honestly doesn’t matter which way the split goes.

Clemson will also stay at No. 3 and Georgia at No. 4. I would be very surprised if Alabama falls behind Utah, though the committee could be willing to switch that up to send a message about playing late-season cupcakes. Don’t expect that message to be sent, though.

I would say that the committee could tell us something about Oklahoma, but it really can’t. The Sooners will be No. 7 (or maybe No. 8 if Minnesota jumps them, but that seems unlikely). Oklahoma is the team that the committee likely has the most trouble with, as the Sooners are clearly talented but struggling to close out games. Do the voters hold that against Oklahoma? There’s no real way to know, since there’s really no team close enough to Oklahoma to jump over it. If we see a team with a weaker resume, like Florida, Wisconsin, or Michigan–or if we see Penn State stay ahead of Oklahoma–then we’ll know that the committee has a serious problem with the Sooners this year. Again, though, don’t expect that to happen, just based on a complete lack of any team close enough.

A similar situation will occur at the No. 19 and 20 spot. Cincinnati has a far superior resume to Boise State. (In fact, Cincinnati has one of the best overall SOS that we’ve seen from a non-Power 5 team in a long time.) However, the Bearcats are barely squeaking through games, while Boise State is blowing teams out. It shouldn’t matter, as Cincinnati would jump back over the Broncos with a win this week, but it’s one of the few spots that can give us real insight into how the committee views blowout wins over worse teams as opposed to close wins over slightly better teams.

Lastly, see if the committee makes any changes at the bottom. SMU will drop out of the rankings, obviously, and be replaced by either Navy or Virginia Tech. Both of those teams, though, have far stronger resumes than Appalachian State. Will the committee be willing to drop a Mountaineers team that has no real resume and isn’t nearly as good as those two? Or will it keep a team ranked just because it had them there before? This decision, more than any other, will tell us whether the committee is truly willing to look at the resumes anew each week, or whether it’s mostly sticking with what it did last week and sliding teams up or down as necessary.

Ohio State again at No. 2 in Amway Coaches Poll

The Ohio State Buckeyes again came in at No. 2 in the Amway Coaches’ Poll, behind top team LSU.

The Top 5 of the Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports remained unchanged this week, with the Ohio State Buckeyes still in the No. 2 spot behind the LSU Tigers. Clemson, Georgia, and Alabama round out the Top 5.

Ohio State’s win over current No. 12 Penn State was not enough to jump the Buckeyes over LSU, though Ohio State did gain a bit of ground on the Tigers. Last week, LSU’s lead was 65 points. This week, that gap shrunk a little, down to 51 points. The Buckeyes also picked up an extra first-place, up to seven from six last week. (Also, only 63 out of 65 voters submitted ballots this week.) Based on this, it’s hard to say if a win over No. 11 Michigan next week will be enough to get Ohio State up to No. 1. Ohio State was last ranked No. 1 in the Amway Coaches Poll during Week 10 of the 2015 season. The Buckeyes did spend one week at No. 1 in the CFP selection committee rankings this year.

Penn State fell from No. 9 to No. 12 with its loss to Ohio State. The Nittany Lions are one spot behind Michigan right now, even though they beat the Wolverines back in Week 8.

In a bit of a surprise, Utah jumped Oklahoma, like due to a combination of another dominant win and Oklahoma barely squeaking out another game. The Utes come in at No. 6, with Oklahoma at No. 7. Florida, Minnesota, and Baylor round out the Top 10.

The Big Ten leads the poll with six ranked teams, followed by the SEC with five. The Big 12, Pac 12, and AAC each have three ranked teams, while the ACC has two and the Sun Belt and Mountain West each have one. The 25th team is independent Notre Dame, who came in at No. 15 this week.

SMU, Texas A&M, and San Diego State dropped out of the rankings this week, while Virginia Tech, Navy, and USC moved in to replace them.

Week 13 CFP Implications: We know our contenders

With our Week 13 CFP Implications, we are able to look at the College Football Playoff picture with just two weeks to go.

With just two weeks left in the college football season, we usually have a small list of contenders remaining in the College Football Playoff race. The list of contenders is currently at 11, which is slightly above average.

We have 11 contenders for the next two weeks because there are so many teams with one or fewer losses. Two teams with two losses are still in the picture–Wisconsin and Oregon. Oregon essentially needs a miracle to get into the picture, while Wisconsin could have an incredible resume with two more wins.

So, that brings us to where we are now. 11 teams–three from the Big Ten, three from the SEC, two from the Big 12, two from the Pac 12, and Clemson. Wisconsin and Minnesota play an elimination game this week, with the winner moving on to the Big Ten Championship Game. LSU and Georgia will meet in the SEC Championship Game, while Alabama needs a win and then some help to get in. Utah looks in decent position now. And Oklahoma and Baylor can just win and hope the committee starts to like the Big 12 again.

The stage is very clearly set for what should be an intense final two weeks to the college football season. With that said, let’s look at the current Playoff pecking order, and what scenarios could possibly throw things out of whack. What teams are locks if they win out, who needs a little help, who is on the bubble, and who is officially a member of Team Chaos? Let’s look at as many of the potential scenarios as we can.

Next…Current Playoff Picture
