I went 11-14 against the spread last week. I really struggled with my Friday game picks. I actually went 1-6 on that day. I bounced back on Saturday, but that was too large of a hole to climb out.
There are only ten games on the docket this week. We have conference championship games, which should be fun to watch and usually very hard to predict. You could end up with some possible College Playoff teams that overlook their games this week and get upset.
We have a possible play-in game scenario in the SEC Championship game. Both teams are in the top-four and the winner will most definitely make the Playoff field of four.
We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick EVERY college football games against the spread in Week 15 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (December 7th, 2019).
Utah vs Oregon (+6.5) – My pick is Utah Utes
This is the Pac 12 Championship game held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Utah’s defense is solid and will give Oregon QB Justin Herbert a headache. Oregon’s defense isn’t too shabby this year either, Utah is just on another level. This could be the best defense in the Pac 12 since some of the old USC teams. I have to take Utah to cover in this one.
Baylor vs Oklahoma (-9) – My pick is Baylor Bears
This is the Big 12 Championship game held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX. Baylor suffered their only loss of the season, and that loss was to Oklahoma by a field goal. That being said, it’s very difficult to beat a team twice. Baylor has been a very good betting team this season and has been underrated all year. Oklahoma will most likely win, but I think Baylor keeps this one close again. I’m taking the points.
Cincinnati at Memphis (-9.5) – My pick is Cincinnati Bearcats
This is the Conference USA Championship game held at the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tennessee. These teams faced each other last week and Memphis won the game 34-24. Memphis needed a late touchdown to get the lead up to ten. I think these teams will be within double-digits, especially since the game was just last week. The teams learned a lot about each other and that means a closer game the second time around, so I’m taking the points.
Georgia vs LSU (-7.5) – My pick is Georgia Bulldogs
This is the SEC Conference Championship game at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. LSU has played some close games this season and I think they are vulnerable in this game. The winner of this game will most likely appear in the College Football Playoff. Georgia has a little bit of a home-field advantage in this one. This line should probably be -3.5. LSU will probably win, but this spread is a tad inflated, so I’m taking the points.
Virginia vs Clemson (-28) – My pick is Clemson Tigers
This is the ACC Conference Championship game at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. It’s been awhile since Clemson has played a close game. After their one-point win against North Carolina, they’ve just been torching teams. Virginia has lost to some pretty average teams this year and I think they are about to get owned by Clemson. The Tigers are underrated at this point since LSU and Ohio State are sucking up all the oxygen in the room. I’m taking Clemson to cover
Ohio State vs Wisconsin (+16) – My pick is Ohio State Buckeyes
This is the Big Ten Conference Championship game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. Ohio State rolled Wisconsin early this season. They nearly doubled-up the point spread. Wisconsin could never get going on offense and everything they tried just failed. The Buckeyes are playing fantastic right now and I don’t think this game will be close. I’m taking Ohio State to cover in Indy.
QUICK HITS
UL Lafayette at Appalachian State (-6.5) – My pick is Appalachian State
Miami (OH) at Central Michigan (-7) – My pick is Central Michigan
UAB at Florida Atlantic (-7.5) – My pick is FAU
Hawaii at Boise State (-13.5) – My pick is Boise State
