Week 12 College Football Best Bets and Picks
Utah to win against Arizona (-105)
These two teams have identical records – something that was not expected going into the season. All of that considered – this game should not be that close. Utah’s talent level exceeds what Arizona has to offer. They’ve both played well against the spread this season, but expect Utah’s talent to win out here.
Washington to beat Oregon State (+122)
The Huskies have shown some weakness this season, but going into this game as the underdog is a real head-scratcher. Make no mistake, Oregon State has been very good at home. All that considered, in the past five weeks, Washington has taken on and beaten Oregon, USC, and Utah. Look for another victory this week at Oregon State in one of Michael Penix Jr’s last opportunities to make his Heisman case.

Kansas to cover the +8.5 spread against Kansas State
This game should be a brawl. These teams have matching records at 7-3 and strong resumes going into this matchup. The Jayhawks are at home in this matchup and getting 8.5 points. This game will be a lot closer than that – take the value here in the underdog.
