Big 12 Best Bets: Colorado, Texas Tech Top Week 13 Picks
- The Colorado vs Kansas betting line is under a field goal.
- Look for Texas Tech to take advantage of a bad Oklahoma State team.
- Iowa State cruises versus a struggling Utah team.
With two weeks remaining, nothing will surprise me on how the Big 12 finishes. As the chaotic conference screeches to a halt, here’s a look at my best college football predictions in the Big 12 for Week 13.
If the season ended today, Colorado would take on BYU in the Big12 Championship Game at Jerry’s World. All it takes for chaos to ensue in the Big 12 is for one of those teams to lose in the next two weeks.

It is hard to imagine the Big 12 is not rooting for Coach Prime, Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter to keep their magical season going. Here’s a look at my best bets around the Big 12.
Bet These 4 Big 12 Picks for Week 13
1. Colorado (-2½) Ends Kansas Hot Streak
The NCAA football odds indicate how real Vegas thinks Kansas has been in recent weeks. For good reason, Kansas is coming off back-to-back wins over BYU and Iowa State.

My main concern with the Jayhawks is their ability to keep pace with an explosive Colorado offense. Coach Prime is going to have his squad ready and not caught by surprise versus a team that just ruined two Big 12 contenders’ weekend.
Bet on the Buffs to cover (-2½) versus the Jayhawks.
2. Arizona (+12) Hangs With TCU
At the risk of never receiving an invite to a holiday party in Fort Worth, this one is pretty simple. There are few teams that TCU deserves to be favored against by 12 points.
No one is confusing Arizona for a good team. Yet, the Wildcats may have ended their offensive funk after their 27-3 blowout win against Houston.
Take Arizona to cover the NCAAF spread (+12) versus TCU.
3. Texas Tech (-3½) Cruises vs Oklahoma State
Oklahoma State’s offense is worse than bad this season. My guess is the Pokes are refreshing Hotels.com for trips to make when the season ends in December.
Texas Tech has an explosive offense and is a 3½-point favorite versus Oklahoma State. My NCAA football pick is for the Red Raiders to cruise in this Big 12 matchup.

4. Iowa State (-7½) Covers Against Struggling Utah
Utah showed some life against BYU, but there are eventually too many injuries for the Utes to overcome. After a brief losing skid, Iowa State found their footing against Cincinnati.
The Cyclones are a 7½-point favorite versus Utah. This is shaping up to be another double-digit victory for Iowa State.
