It’s another busy week ahead in college football, with the Week 12 schedule once again off to an early start with games on Tuesday night. While there are several games set to go before Saturday, we are going to jump ahead to the weekend for our selections this week. It’s a critical weekend for a lot of teams looking to get into the postseason, especially when you consider that two teams in the top 4 fell to defeat in Week 11.
A window of opportunity has opened up for the chasing pack, but those teams still need to find a way to win if they want to climb through that window. For this piece, we are gong to explore NCAAF Betting O/U picks, but we will also have SU and ATS selections coming your way.
2019 College Football Week 12 Over/Under Betting Picks
Massachusetts Minutemen at Northwestern Wildcats (UNDER 56)
Yes, both of these 1-loss teams have defenses that have been porous all season long, but they are both also rather awful on the offensive side of the football, combining for about 32 PPG. Northwestern are the worst of the two in terms of offensive numbers, averaging a touch over 11 PPG this season.Over their last 4 games, they have managed a total of just 28 points, all of which makes you wonder where the scoring is going to come from to get this anywhere close to 56 points. I am all over the UNDER with this one.

- The total has gone OVER in 7 of Massachusetts’ last 8 games
- The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Northwestern’s last 5 games played in November
Kansas Jayhawks at Oklahoma State Cowboys (OVER 65 ½)
If we have come to expect anything from the Big 12 conference, it’s that we generally always see a ton of offense. The Kansas Jayhawks come into this one on a negative run of form, losing 5 of their last 6 games, but the OVER has been a consistent hitter for them of late, with 5 of their last 7 games heading that direction.It has been the same for the Oklahoma State Cowboys in terms of the point total, with 4 of their last 5 meetings with Kansas going OVER. Back through the last couple of seasons, the Cowboys have seen the OVER hit in 8 of their last 9 games played in the month of November.

- The total has gone OVER in 4 of Kansas’ last 6 games played on a Saturday

Georgia Bulldogs at Auburn Tigers (UNDER 44)
If you look at the best teams in the county right now, you see that most of them are about as solid as it gets on the defensive side of the football. The Georgia Bulldogs are right up there with the best of them in that category and they will face another defensively gifted football team in the Auburn Tigers this weekend.The Bulldogs have been struggling a little on offense of late, which, when combined with their defensive prowess, has seen the UNDER hit in 6 of their last 7 games. In the last 10 meetings between these two teams, the UNDER has hit 7 times.

- The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Georgia’s last 7 games
- The total has gone UNDER in 13 of Auburn’s last 16 games when playing as the underdog
Ohio State Buckeyes at Rutgers Scarlet Knights in College Football Week 12 (OVER 61)
With their win over Alabama, a lot of folks were quick to declare that the LSU Tigers are now the favorites to win it all this season according to the latest AP Poll. I have a feeling that the Ohio State Buckeyes might just have something to say about that. The Buckeyes have been an offensive force to be reckoned with this season, dropping 51 PPG on offense.They don’t very often take their foot off the gassed, as witnessed by the 73 points they scored on Maryland last weekend. There is a good chance that they could hit the 61 point total without any help from Rutgers.
College Football Week 12 Betting Trends
- The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Rutgers’ last 5 games played in week 12
- The total has gone UNDER in 10 of Rutgers’ last 15 games
