Week 12 College Football props, odds, and point spreads

Here are the Week 12 lines. Most of the ACC and SEC with huge traditional rivals play their annual FCS slaughter game, so there are plenty of games with no action. But, there are some that you should think about.

• Mizzou -7.5 at Vanderbilt. The ‘Dores have cratered and essentially given up. The Tigers seem to have improved on defense and the offense remains lethal.
• OU -3.5 at Kansas The largest road spread of the season is also the most tempting. Mayfield has moved into command of the Heisman, and the Sooners are now considered a playoff team. Expect Lincoln Riley to do some filthy things to the Jayhawks.
• UAB +10.5 at Florida. There’s no reason to expect Randy Shannon to hold this team together. The season may see one more decent effort by the Gators, next week’s unwatchable FSU-UF game. The Blazers could win this one outright.
• Penn State -23 vs. Nebraska. The Huskers defense is an abomination unto the lord. The offense isn’t much better. Riley is a dead man walking, while the Lions got some favorable playoff news. Look for Franklin to run this slap-up both for his team’s CFP fortunes and to make Saquon Barkley relevant again.
• Michigan at Wisconsin -10. Sure, the Badgers may only win 13-0, but the Wolverines have nothing in the tank on offense, turn the ball over way too much, have been vulnerable on the road, and it’s a chance for UW to earn a win that the CFP deems relevant for whatever reason (hint, it’s the helmet, not the team.) UM is also hampered by tons of injuries at key spots.

Games to avoid:

Auburn - 37 vs. ULM. Auburn should cover this one handily. With the injuries, and being wedged between UGA and Alabama, I wouldn’t count on the starters playing much. A&M at Ole Miss -2.5. If you know what these two teams are going to do, you’re Nostradamus. Literally any result would be unsurprising. NC State at Wake (PK.) This is a pick’em for a reason. USC vs UCLA (+15). The Trojans’ secondary has been blasted from time to time. Mora may have lost his team. but he hasn’t lost his offense. Could be 28-14, could be 41-17: USC should win, but that’s an iffy line.
