College Football Betting: Week 12

The following article contains information that is not representative of the opinions of CommRadio. It solely expresses the opinions of Ben Barker.

Week 12 of the college football season is here, and it’s time to make more bets as we inch closer to the college football playoff.

Let’s take a look at some bets that can help the wallets.

.No. 1 Oregon at Wisconsin (Oregon: -14)

Oregon has cruised through the Big Ten in their first season in the conference, and it will look to continue when the Ducks travel to Camp Raleigh.

Wisconsin will be looking to avoid a third straight Big Ten loss. With the previous two coming from the hands of Penn State and Iowa.

I don’t see a world where Oregon keeps this game close, and that’s because of their sheer dominance against unranked opponents this season.

Oregon looks to continue to remain perfect, and I think they will be an easy money winner this weekend.

Nebraska at USC (USC: -8.5)

USC has had a rough season in regards to Big Ten play, struggling with a 2-5 record against conference opponents.

However, the Trojans have been playing well at home, with their only loss at home being against Penn State.

Nebraska has been faltering the past few weeks, trying to avoid their fourth straight loss this weekend.

USC should comfortably win this but also expect Nebraska to hang around.

No. 7 Tennessee vs. No. 11 Georgia: Under 48.5 points

This is a huge SEC clash with both teams needing wins, and I doubt that this will be a high-scoring game considering the top-notch defenses that will take center stage.

The Volunteers sit atop the SEC, looking to maintain that with a win against Georgia, who desperately needs a win to keep their SEC championship and college football playoff hopes alive.

Both of these defenses rank top in the country in points allowed, paving the way for this bet to hit.

Kansas vs. No. 6 BYU (Kansas: +3)

Believe it or not, Kansas can definitely make this an interesting game.

For folks who have not followed the Big 12 a whole lot this season, Kansas was projected to make some noise and make a run for the conference.

That has been the exact opposite, as Kansas went on a five-game skid earlier this season, but they look to finally be turning a corner.

The Jayhawks upset then No. 17 Iowa State last time out, while also just falling short of then No. 16 Kansas State the game prior.

They may be the underdog in this one, but don’t be surprised to see Kansas make this a ball game

No. 23 Missouri vs. No. 21 South Carolina (Missouri Under 15.5 points)

This matchup will consist of a lot of defense, as both teams rank within the Top 12 in the country in yards allowed per game.

Missouri’s offense has been struggling mightily, and it’s looking like they will continue to roll with backup quarterback Drew Pyne.

The status of starting quarterback Brady Cook is in doubt, so that creates a big opportunity for this bet to hit.

Especially how the Gamecocks defense has been playing recently, expect them to dominate against the backup signal caller.
