Here’s your college football betting guide for Week 12 that includes how to bet on No. 13 Syracuse vs. No. 3 Notre Dame and every other Top 25 game.

To quote Dennis Green about Alabama, “They are who we thought they were.” The biggest takeaway from Week 11 for me was we like to overreact to everything. Some thought Mississippi State had a chance, I said zero, but the public went crazy. Once you realize you can’t run the ball on Alabama’s defense, they force you to throw and take you out of your comfort zone. Show me a hole in Alabama’s game and I’ll show you more holes in the other team facing the Crimson Tide.

Week 12 is bringing us disappointing matchups, it happens every now and then in college football, especially in the SEC which is cupcake week. Every week can’t have great matchups, unfortunately. This week there are four games on my radar to watch out for, that have upset potential (those are on the last slide). I am a college football guy, so this week isn’t a downer for me, why I bet you live and die by every play. That being said, I don’t think I have ever made so many under predictions/bets for college football. It’s kind of scary, but thrilling at the same time.

We got our first snow games looming for college football. I hope it happens, nothing beats snow games and the defenses look so much better in the snow. So hammer the under, in those college football games played in the snow, they will hit snow problem.

Friday night Top 25 action

No. 25 Boise State at New Mexico

Broncos are back in familiar territory, ranked in the top 25. It just feels right when they are. With that being said, taking it to Fresno State last week shows they’re back. Quarterback Brett Rypien and running back Alexander Mattison boost their stats in this game. Take Boise and because it’s away I like the under here to be safe.

Bet: Boise St (-20) (Under 63)
