Betting on College Football – Week 13 Quick Hitters

This week’s Quick Hitters segment is a little more condensed than usual due to limited time during this holiday week. There are still many trends, stats, and situations to consider for this weekend, and my featured game (7-0 YTD) is included at the bottom of the page. As I mention every week, it is important to remember that these trends and stats are only one piece of the puzzle when trying to figure out which team to place a wager on. They shouldn’t be followed blindly, but instead they should be considered and factored into the broader context and reasoning for selecting a side.

    I am very tempted to take BYU tomorrow. NMST is helpless. What we basically have is a game in which one team can’t score vs a defense that will make sure of it. And an offense (BYU) who doesn’t do well against the big boys, but looks like world beaters against the cupcakes. A very good combination for a cover here.

    I agree GS, its BYU or nothing in that one. Even though BYU hasn’t fared very well in the win/loss column (or stats) against the big boys, but they did cover against Notre Dame, Boise, and GaTech.

    Great stuff. One small correction, Curt Phillips is a 5th year senior at Wisconsin. He actually played fairly well last week, but fell victim to some very questionable play calling by the Wisconsin OC. Badger D played arguably their best game of the year, I see this as a low scoring game in Happy Valley.

      Thanks for the correction. I must have subconsciously interchanged “young” for “inexperienced”. It should be a close game though, which is part of the reason why I like PSU laying less than a FG at home.

    Thanks for the great info every week, we really appreciate it. And best of luck today w/ Penn State. I really like the selection.

      Thanks, Pez. I noticed in a pick ’em contest that 65% of people were taking Wisconsin straight up in this game. I think the public sees that Wisconsin is going to the B10 championship and they automatically assume they are an elite team of the conference, when really they haven’t done anything to earn that status. The Badgers did play well last week (especially defensively), but I think the matchup and situation strongly favors the Nittany Lions at home in this one.

    Recap: Sharps went 2-3 against the public.

    Sharp/public consensus picks went 3-0 this week.

    Featured game (PSU -2) hit in overtime, making these games 8-0 YTD.
