NCAA Football Conference Championships Over/Under Picks

College football is a breeding ground for higher-scoring games. Compared to the NFL, college teams are willing to take more risks and also have plenty of players who will be doing things after college other than playing football.

With that in mind, here’s a look at the best over/under picks for conference championship weekend.

Purdue Boilermakers vs. Michigan Wolverines

Purdue vs. Michigan Predictions

Best Bet: Over 50.5 Points

The Boilermakers have a solid run defense, but will be severely challenged by Michigan, which may feature star running back Blake Corum in a limited capacity, if at all. Purdue’s challenge will be to see if it can get its passing attack going against the Wolverines. The Boilermakers rank 21st nationally in passing yards per game. Purdue averages 28.6 points per game.

The total has gone over in seven of the Boilermakers 12 games. Michigan’s defense is as stingy as they come, ranking third nationally by allowing 12.7 points per game. The Wolverines will score enough to push this one over.

College Football Over/Under Odds

Fresno State Bulldogs vs. Boise State Broncos

Fresno State vs. Boise State Predictions

Best Bet: Over 54 Points

The Broncos offense has figured things out as the season went along. With an opportunity to win a 10th game, Boise State will want to throw the hammer down against Fresno State. The Broncos already beat the Bulldogs 40-20 earlier this season. Unlike the first meeting, the Bulldogs will have star quarterback Jake Haener available for this game.

Haener has thrown for 17 touchdowns and 2432 yards against only three interceptions this season. The over has gone 7-5 in Fresno State’s games this season, while the Broncos have seen the over go 6-6.

LSU Tigers vs. Georgia Bulldogs

LSU vs. Georgia Predictions

Best Bet: Over 50.5 Points

The Tigers showed in a loss to Texas A&M last week that the program has likely been playing over its head under first-year coach Brian Kelly. LSU won the difficult SEC West, but also took a thrashing at the hands of Tennessee and the Aggies. Georgia has the No. 1 scoring defense in the country, allowing 11.3 points per game.

The Tigers will have no answers and this total will go under.

College Football Over/Under Picks

Clemson Tigers vs. North Carolina Tar Heels

Clemson vs. North Carolina Predictions

Best Bet: Over 62 Points

The Tigers defense looked vulnerable against South Carolina, which featured a high-powered offense. UNC has that as well. While the Tar Heels defense has been uninspiring, UNC can still score. The Tar Heels have seen three of their last four games go under the total.

By playing Clemson on the big stage, that trend may likely see a reversal. This game will sneak over with a late touchdown.

Coastal Carolina Chanticleers vs. Troy Trojans

Coastal Carolina vs. Troy Predictions

Best Bet: Under 48 Points

The Trojans have a top-10 scoring defense. They only allow 16.8 points per game, which ranks eighth nationally. Troy shouldn’t have problems stopping Coastal Carolina, which will be playing without veteran quarterback Grayson McCall. The Chanticleers offense isn’t the same without McCall and will have a hard time putting up points.
