We have reached the conference championship weekend in college football, and there are some big games on the schedule. Making a pick for each game is one way to go about it, but you can also look at the total number of points scored.
Here are five over/under predictions for the conference championship games on the schedule for Saturday.
2021 Big 12 Championship Over/Under Pick
Baylor vs. Oklahoma Predictions
Best Bet: Over 46.5
The Big 12 Championship has been known to have some high-scoring games, but that hasn’t always been the case this season. Baylor and Oklahoma State meet up in the title game, and this over/under is actually set pretty low.
The Cowboys are holding teams to just 16.4 points per game, but they can also score as well. Each team in this game is scoring at least 31 points per game, and there will be some big plays.
This should be a tight battle, and there will be at least 50 points scored in this one.

2021 MAC Championship Over/Under Pick
Kent State vs. Northern Illinois Predictions
Best Bet: Under 73.5
The MAC has once again been a thrilling conference to follow, and Kent State and Northern Illinois are set to meet up in the title game. These teams combined for 99 points in the first meeting, and this over/under acknowledges that.
Title games tend to be played a bit differently, and there isn’t going to be a ton of crazy scoring in this game. Each team has been able to get stops when needed, and some defense will decide this one.
The total number could be close to 70, but taking the under is the right way to go in this one.
2021 AAC Championship Over/Under Pick
Houston vs. Cincinnati Predictions
Best Bet: Over 53.5
Houston will be trying to do the unthinkable on Saturday and upset the mighty Cincinnati Bearcats. The Cougars have lost just one time all season, but Cincinnati is one of the best teams in the country this season.
Each team has leaned on its defense at times this season, but this game will feature some big plays. Cincinnati has the potential to put up 40 points on their own, and that will push this total to over 53.5.

2021 SEC Championship Over/Under Pick
Georgia vs. Alabama Predictions
Best Bet: Under 50.5
The biggest game of the day will take place in the SEC as Georgia takes on Alabama in what could be a preview of the national championship game. Each team is scoring more than 40 points per game this season, but defense typically dominates SEC title games.
Both Georgia and Alabama will be looking to play the field position battle on Saturday in what is going to be a back-and-forth affair. Look for 24 points to be enough to win this game, and that will keep the total under 50.5 points.
2021 Big Ten Championship Over/Under Pick
Best Bet: Over 43.5
It will be Michigan and Iowa in the Big Ten Championship Game, and this was not the matchup that was expected. It’s been a crazy year in the Big Ten Conference, but both of these teams deserve to be here.
Michigan comes into this game with a ton of momentum after stunning Ohio State on Saturday. Iowa doesn’t always score that many points, but the Hawkeyes need to find offense to win this one.
Look for the Wolverines to score at least 30 points on Saturday, and that will push the betting total to more than 43.5 points.
