NCAAF picks for Week 12 include two Big 12 squads and an SEC prime-time clash. Here’s a look at three college football underdogs to bet on in Week 12.
Bet These 3 Dogs in College Football Week 12
1. West Virginia (+115) to Upend Baylor
West Virginia is riding a two-game winning streak with victories against Cincinnati and Arizona. This came after a rough back-to-back against Kansas State and Iowa State.
Neither of these teams have had ideal seasons, but I trust the Mountaineers’ rushing attack at home. It remains to be seen who will start at quarterback in this matchup, so continue to monitor college football news.
Nicco Marchiol has brought some juice to the Mountaineers offense and would make the most sense. Look for Mountaineers to pull off the slight upset.

2. Bet Houston (Ev) Over Arizona in Big 12 Clash
In case you missed it, Houston is starting to play some good football, particularly on defense. Houston posted a 24-19 upset against Kansas State prior to its recent bye.
By now, we’ve all figured out all-world receiver Tetairoa McMillan is the lone bright spot on the Arizona offense. Look for Houston to keep the hot streak going. Take the Cougars versus the Wildcats in your NCAAF picks.

3. Bonus Pick: Take Lottery Ticket on Tennessee (+280) at Georgia
Chances are Georgia bounces back after a dismal performance against Ole Miss. Yet, the Dawgs being nearly a 10-point favorite against No. 7 Tennessee?

Per Tennessee vs Georgia injuries, the Vols have their own problems, namely the uncertain status of Nico Iamaleava, who is in the concussion protocol. Georgia may have the rare night game in Athens, but this still feels like too many points.
I view this as a bit of a lottery ticket given the value in the college football spread. Take a flier on the Vols to pull off the upset.
