The college football season is getting close to the end of the regular season and the College Football Playoff race is starting to shape up. Things can always change quickly in this sport, though, as there seem to be big upsets each week.
Betting on college football provides some great opportunities, especially when betting on game totals. Here are five of the best college football over/under picks to make in week 12.
Illinois Fighting Illini vs. Michigan Wolverines
Illinois vs. Michigan Predictions
Best Bet: Over 43 Points
Illinois was the biggest story in college football through October, but they have started to fall apart in November. The Fighting Illini just suffered back-to-back losses and the defense has been letting the team down.
Michigan comes into this game needing to win to stay in the CFP race and they will be focused in this one. The Wolverines will be doing most of the scoring, but the total will still go over 43 points.
TCU Horned Frogs vs. Baylor Bears
TCU vs. Baylor Predictions
Best Bet: Under 53.5 Points
The TCU Horned Frogs just continue to rack up the wins, but they face a tall task against the Baylor Bears on Saturday. Big 12 Conference games have a tendency to be high-scoring affairs, but you can expect to see some defense in this one.
TCU just went on the road and knocked off Texas in a defensive battle. That will be the strategy again in this one. Take the under 53.5 points, as both TCU and Baylor struggle to find offense.
Wisconsin Badgers vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers
Wisconsin vs. Nebraska Predictions
Best Bet: Over 41 Points
Both the Wisconsin Badgers and Nebraska Cornhuskers have struggled this season in the Big Ten West. There isn’t really much to play for anymore, but that will take some of the pressure off for these teams.
Nebraska is a team that continues to struggle to get stops, but they do have plenty of offensive weapons. This match-up should be fun to follow, and taking the over 41 points is the best bet to make in this game.
Georgia Bulldogs vs. Kentucky Wildcats
Georgia vs. Kentucky Predictions
Best Bet: Under 49 Points
The Georgia Bulldogs just refuse to lose a game and it might get them all the way back to the title game again this season. Georgia is going on the road to Kentucky to face a Wildcats team that has started to slide of late.
Both teams want to win games on defense and that should set up for a big battle. Take the under 49 points in this SEC showdown.
Texas Longhorns vs. Kansas Jayhawks
Texas vs. Kansas Predictions
Best Bet: Over 64 Points
If you are looking for an old-fashioned shootout, then you will find that in Lawrence, Kansas, on Saturday. The Kansas Jayhawks and Texas Longhorns are two teams that have been great on the offensive side of the football, but neither team has been able to get any stops.
This is a game that should go back and forth with a ton of points scored. Take the over 64 points in this match-up, as there are a ton of touchdowns scored in this game.
