With 13 weeks of college football behind us, we have somewhat of an advantage in that we have lots of data to go off of to help us predict winners. In the case of Notre Dame vs. Stanford, one team is clearly playing for something and the other has folded up their tent and gone home. Stanford at 4-7 straight up and 3-8 against the spread simply isn’t getting it done. Look for ND to put their foot on the pedal here with hopes of being selected for the best possible bowl game.
Anybody notice how bad the Cowboys defense was last week vs. a bad Detroit team with a journeyman QB at the helm? Here’s how this one plays out… Bill Belichick always takes the opponents best player away (Elliott in this case). This forces Dak Prescott to throw into what I believe is the best secondary in the NFL. BAD MATCHUP! See Mike’s full take on this Week 12 Best Bet!

The Eagles have won back to back games allowing just a combined 27 points, but those came against the lackluster offenses of the Bills and the Bears. New England’s offense may not be as dangerous as it has been in recent seasons but they are a big step up from the last two opponents Philadelphia has faced. Can the Pats get the road win and more importantly get the point spread cover?
The Navy Midshipmen have been a major thorn in the keister of the Fighting Irish in recent years. The current point spread of 7 suggests the bookmaker things Navy has a real shot of winning this game. Get Mike’s take on this head-scratcher before placing your bet!
The truth about college football betting (and all sports gambling) is that MOST games don’t offer any wagering value. Whether there’s just not enough edges to justify taking a stance on one side or the spread is too questionable, most games should be passed on or limited to a lunch money bet at best. This is one of those games. But if you must feed your itch, Mike has an opinion on which team will cover the spread!
Patriots coach Bill Belichick is a master of taking away the other team’s strength. We fully expect his gameplan to be to stop Lamar Jackson’s run game, forcing him to pass more vs. New England’s stingy secondary. With the Pats being 8-0 and 6-2 ATS, this -3.5 line looks like an easy bet-win-cover.
The Hokies have some decent wins on their resume this season beating UNC in overtime at home in their latest and Miami on the road. They come into this game on a three game win streak and take on a club that come off a confidence crushing 45-14 loss to Michigan. Get Mike Mann’s betting opinion and ATS bet.
When put in a position to succeed, the Cleveland Browns have seemingly blown every opportunity this season. This usually lends itself to negative perception and point spread value. Not in this case though. The Patriots are masterful at picking apart other teams weaknesses. We’re likely in for another Pat cover here.
The Irish head to Ann Arbour in Week 9 to take on the Wolverines. The college football board lists the host Michigan as a small -1 point favorite with a total line posted at 51 points. Get CFB prognosticator Mike Mann’s betting opinion and free pick ATS.
