Tag: week 13
Tigers vs Crimson Tide NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping
With Oregon and Kansas State both losing last week Alabama is back on track to play in the BCS title game, but they have to beat Auburn and then 3rd ranked Georgia in the HUGE SEC title game. Auburn (3-8) has had a season to forget and they are 07 in SEC play. .
Gamecocks vs Tigers NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping
South Carolina at its best was one of the strongest teams in the country. They clobbered Georgia at home giving them their only loss and their own two losses were back to back road trips to LSU and Florida.
Tigers vs Aggies NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping
Missouri (5-6) has not had a great first season in the SEC and they have lost 3 of their last 3 games. On top of that they face a hot Texas A&M team and may have to face the Aggies without their starting QB.
Bears vs Red Raiders NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping
Baylor (5-5) is coming off a HUGE upset handing Kansas State their first loss of the season, but they still have to win one more game to be bowl eligible.
Wolverines vs Buckeyes NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping
Michigan has not beaten the Buckeyes in their last 5 games at Ohio State and they will have to snap that streak in order to have any chance to play in the Big 10 title game. However, they will know their fate Friday, as they also need Nebraska to lose to Iowa.
Ducks vs Beavers NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping
The Oregon Ducks were hoping to bring a perfect record into their matchup with the Oregon State Beavers, but that won’t be the case following a tough loss to the Stanford Cardinal last weekend. Oregon is still the fifth-ranked team in the country, but they’re up for another big challenge in the final regular-season game of the year.
Cowboys vs Sooners NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping
Its time for the annual Bedlam game between these two in-state and conference rivals. Oklahoma State knew it wasn’t going to be as good as last year but that #21 next to its name is an indicator of the status of the program at current.
Yellow Jackets vs Bulldogs NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping
The Yellow Jackets have to be one of the most maddening teams out there this season. With their old school offense they rumble away at teams at times looking unstoppable.
Cardinal vs Bruins NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping
The Stanford Cardinal and the UCLA Bruins are both coming off statement wins heading into their week 13 contest. The No. 8 Cardinal took down the then-No. 2 Oregon Ducks, while the No. 17 Bruins defeated the then-No. 18 USC Trojans. UCLA has already locked up a spot in the Pac-12 championship, but Stanford’s place in the game is up for grabs depending on the outcome of this matchup.
Fighting Irish vs Trojans NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping
When the 2012 college football season began, this game was looked at as one of the final steps for a USC Trojans squad that would surely be in the mix for a BCS National Championship. Well, the tides have turned, as it’s the Notre Dame Fighting Irish that bring in an undefeated ranking and the first-overall ranking in the NCAA.
Sun Devils vs Wildcats NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping
The rivalry between the Arizona Wildcats and the Arizona State Sun Devils is one with a lot of history behind it, but this is the first time that first-year head coaches Rich Rodriguez and Todd Graham will face off for the Territorial Cup. The Wildcats have won four of their last five games, while the Sun Devils have lost four of their last five.
Huskies vs Cougars NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping
The Washington Huskies and the Washington State Cougars won’t grab many headlines this weekend, but the Apple Cup is a tradition in the Pacific Northwest. Over the past decade, these two teams have split the series six games to four in Washington’s favor.
Gators vs Seminoles NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping
Nebraska can clinch the Legends division this weekend with a victory at Iowa. This team has been special at home but not nearly as convincing on the road.
Tigers vs Razorbacks NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping
Before the season started this was supposed to be a huge season ending contest with SEC and possibly BCS Championship implications. Now those hopes have long since been dashed with neither team having much to play for in this finale.
Cornhuskers vs Hawkeyes NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping
Nebraska can clinch the Legends division this weekend with a victory at Iowa. This team has been special at home but not nearly as convincing on the road.
