College football betting afternoon picks November 30:

(5)Alabama(-3.5) at (15)Auburn(2):

We didn’t learn anything by Mac Jones rolling Western Carolina. All I know is that this is a road game against your worst rival that has a really good defense and a good enough offense. Give me Auburn.

(12)Wisconsin(-2.5) at (8)Minnesota(2):

The Gophers ended a 14 game losing streak in this series last year by throttling the Badgers. This series is 60-60-8 all time. So the Gophers are at home with a chance to get the Bunyan Trophy and a shot at Ohio State in Indianapolis. This line is falling, and I agree. I like Minnesota outright. Jack Coan can’t throw to win. Tanner Morgan can.

(9)Baylor(-14.5) at Kansas(1):

I don’t know if Kansas is going to show up or not. They’re hard to predict that way. It’s going to be a wet day in Lawrence, which is just what it took to slow down the Oklahoma offense. Give me Kansas.

Rutgers at (10)Penn State(-40.5)(2):

Well, I just think Penn State wants to keep everyone healthy. The score doesn’t matter. I’ll take Rutgers. Say a garbage touchdown makes this 42-7.

Connecticut at Temple(-27.5)(2):

UConn is playing better right now. The sad part is that the line reflects that. It has dropped two points already. The thing is, Temple is not an explosive offense. Their staples are defense and running the ball. The Owls only covered Bucknell by this many points. I’ll take UConn.

Southern Mississippi at Florida Atlantic(-9.5)(1):

I really don’t like this line. The Eagles have been solid. FAU was until they got dump-trucked by their rivals. I’ll say this stays within single digits. Give me Southern Miss.

UTSA at Louisiana Tech(-20.5)(3):

The two game suspensions for J’Mar Smith and Adrian Hardy are over. This is just just to be pitch and catch for them. A warm up for bowl season. Give me the Bulldogs.

Boston College at Pittsburgh(-8.5)(2):

Pitt is fully capable of covering this. Just like last week. And the week before that. And the week before that. The problem is that they are one of the most inconsistent offenses I have ever seen. That said, only three teams have scored 30 points on them this year. I tend to think that’s what BC would need to compensate for their defense. Give me Pitt.

Miami(FL)(-8.5) at Duke(3):

We just saw Duke get trampled by Syracuse and Notre Dame. Miami has a whole stable of backs behind Deejay Dallas that are close to as good as he is. Even as good as Dallas is, they wont miss him much. I’ll take the Canes.

Maryland at Michigan State(-22.5)(2):

I literally hate everything about this Spartans offense, but if Nebraska can beat the Turtles by 49 on one leg, I have to think that Michigan State covers in spite of themselves.

Oregon State at (14)Oregon(-19.5)(3):

I know this is in Autzen, but this is too high. There’ s nothing Civil about this War and the best team doesn’t always win. The Beavers have won this outright as recently as 2016. Of course, the Beavers have lost the last two by a combined 99 points. That’s not points allowed. That’s margin of victory! This is a different Beavers team though. I don’t think they win, but I think they keep this close and make it fun.

(16)Notre Dame(-16.5) at Stanford(2):

Part of me thinks Stanford keeps this close. The other part has seen the defense, and the offense, play. Give me the Irish.

Vanderbilt at Tennessee(-22.5)(2):

This is not the same team that scored 38 points on LSU. Vandy has scored just 72 points in seven games against FBS opponents since. Meanwhile, Tennessee has won five straight against the spread and four straight outright. I know this is a rivalry, so this line feels high. That said. the Tennessee defense is good, the offense is capable, and Vandy is terrible. I’ll take the Vols. I would have never guessed they would make a bowl this year, but they did.

UAB(-2.5) at North Texas(2):

I’m done with North Texas and with thinking Mason Fine is good. He may be, but not on this team. I’ll take the Blazers.

Utah State(-11.5) at New Mexico(5):

The Lobos haven’t lost by less than 11 since September 28 at Liberty. They haven’t won a game since the week before that against New Mexico State. This is way too low. Give me Utah State.

Tulane at SMU(-3.5)(1):

SMU is 0-3-1 against the spread since starting 6-1. The only team to really handle the Wave was Memphis. I’ll take Tulane here.

Georgia State at Georgia Southern(-7.5)(2):

Nope. This is a one score game no matter what. Give me the Panthers.
