Week 12 College Football Betting Preview

Earlier in the week, I let you guys in on some of the weekday gambling secrets. Now, I take a look at the lines for the weekend and highlight the games in which I believe we can make a little money on.

 

Michigan @ Wisconsin (-7.5)  11:00 am CT

Pick: Michigan (+7.5)

Born and raised in Madison, WI, I went to my first Badger game when I was two weeks old. If I know Wisconsin like I should, Wisconsin will not cover on Saturday.  Weather is supposed to be 41 degrees with a mix of snow and rain.  That makes this game one dimensional with both teams not being able to pass the ball. It will result in a low scoring game because of two stout defenses in gritty weather.

Michigan 10 Wisconsin 14

 

Cincinnati (-3 1/2) @ ECU 11:00 am CT

Pick: Cincinnati (-3 1/2)

Man, do I love betting against ECU.  I know both teams are very irrelevant in the college football landscape, but ECU has given up 197 points in their last 5 games.  That is atrocious.  Although they are not great themselves, Cincinnati has given teams issues and I believe they should put points on ECU.  Bearcats by double digits.

Cincinnati 38 ECU 28

 

Iowa State (-9 1/2) @ Baylor 1:30 pm CT

Pick: Iowa State (-9 1/2)

Iowa State is on a two game slide, but a 4 point loss at West Virginia and a brutal 7 point loss to Oklahoma State last week should not have Iowa State only a 9 1/2 point favorite against Baylor.  Iowa State should come out hot and steamroll the limp Baylor Bears. Cyclones bury Bears.

Iowa State 42 Baylor 20

 

Utah @ Washington (-17 1/2) 9:30 pm CT

Pick: Utah (+17 1/2)

Utah has taken a couple on the chin in the past 5, but with both teams coming off tough losses last week, this should be a lot closer than 17 1/2.  Utah can score, averaging 29 points a game, and I think they will be able to keep up with Jake Browning and Washington’s offense.  They won’t win, but a 1 and a half score game is in the realm of real possibilities.

Utah 38 Washington 48
