College Football Picks Against The Spread Late November 21
By Mike Marteny
50 of the FBS vs. FBS games this weekend happen on Saturday. 15 of them make up the night slate of games. Want the picks for these games? You can find that anywhere. Do you want them picked against the spread? Then you have come to the right place!
In case you don’t know what I do here, I pick every college football game of the season. Against the spread. Trust me, it’s not as easy as it sounds! I take the average of the odds from all of the Vegas casinos. I then round to the nearest half. There will be no ties here. Ties are for the other football (soccer).

I had one of the best weeks in my five years of doing this last week. I now sit at 303-286 on the season and at +57 on the points scale. I am just trying to not lose all the ground that I gained last week. If I pick at 50% the rest of the season, I would finish at almost 52% on the season, Since my goal was 55, I need to pick at about a 58% clip. So this week my goal is to get 35 of the 58 games.
In case you missed how the point scale works, here is a brief rundown:
5. A lock. I am comfortable making a sizable wager on this game.
4. Very confident. Not quite a lock, but I am comfortable making a decent sized wager on it.
3. Middle of the road. Good enough that I would make a small wager on it.
2. Could go either way. So much so that I wouldn’t bet on it.
1. Stay away from these.
Take note that any games that involve 1-AA teams will NOT be picked. There simply is not enough information to get an accurate spread.
Here are the rest of the picks in case you missed any:
Here are my college football picks against the spread late November 21:
Mississippi State at Arkansas(-4.5)(2): This game is going to be a battle. Arkansas has overcome an awful start to the season, and the offense seems to be hitting its stride. Can the Hogs stop the One Man Gang (Dak Prescott)? Probably. Give me Arkansas.
Georgia Southern at Georgia(-13.5)(3): This looks a little bit low. The Eagles are going to run the ball to control the clock. Heck, Georgia probably will too. That said, there is a reason that Georgia will cover: they still have an SEC defense. Give me the Dawgs.
(16)Navy(-12.5) at Tulsa(4): This looks low. Tulsa has had issues stopping the run all year long. All Navy does is run. Middies win by at least two touchdowns.
Rice at UTSA(-2.5)(2): Didn’t Rice win their first conference title in 73 years last year? They haven’t fallen that far, have they? I don’t really think so. Rice straight up.
Tennessee(-7.5) at Missouri(3): The Vols are an underachieving team that are on the road facing one of the best defenses (statistically) in the country. I don’t think they win by two scores. Give me Missouri. It’s going to be a cold night in Columbia.
Texas A&M(-6.5) at Vanderbilt(2): It wasn’t that long ago that some talking head on ESPN was saying that A&M was the most complete team in the SEC. Now they are going to have all they can handle with Vanderbilt. I like Vandy at home. Ralph Webb should have a good game on this defense, and A&M still doesn’t really have a quarterback. They do, but they don’t always play the right one. Vandy with the upset!
Boston College at (4)Notre Dame(-14.5)(3): This looks high. BC’s defense is for real, but their offense might be the worst of the 128 FBS teams. I have to take BC. I think they only lose by 10-14 points.

Charlotte at Kentucky(-24.5)(2): The Charlotte boycott continues. Don’t fail me, Kentucky!
(10)Baylor(-1.5) at Oklahoma State(4): The Cowboys’ days of living dangerously are finally over. I’ve picked against them time and time again, but this time they face a team that is better than them in every facet of the game except linebacker play and maybe the secondary. Baylor wins by at least a touchdown.
Tulane at SMU(-2.5)(2): Are they just being nice? Maybe. Neither team has been good, but SMU does have some good pieces on offense. Give me the Ponies at home.
(18)TCU at (7)Oklahoma(-11.5)(5): Too low. Without Doctson and a Boykin that likely wont be very mobile, TCU doesn’t stand a chance. Their defense is likely the worst of the Gary Patterson era. Oklahoma had their one slip this year. Now they take care of business and earn some big style points in the last home game of the year. BOOMER SOONER!
San Diego State(-15.5) at UNLV(4): The Rebels have no answer for Donnel Pumphrey or Chase Price. The Aztecs might run 70 times, and yes, they will literally run off with this.
California at (11)Stanford(-11.5)(2): I hate lines this big in any rivalry game, no matter how much better one team looks on paper. Give me Cal.
Colorado at Washington State(-15.5)(3): Colorado doesn’t stand much of a chance with Liufau out. The Cougar defense is pretty darn good. Give me the Leaches.
San Jose State(-9.5) at Hawaii(2): I am not taking Hawaii anymore. Go Spartans!

There are a total of 58 games this week. I have three one pointers, 21 two pointers, 21 three pointers, nine four pointers, and four five pointers. That gives me a maximum of 164 points. I am never going to get that, but aiming for 90 points is a legitimate goal. Good luck to those of you making wagers as well, and have a great college football Saturday!
