College Football 2022 Week 12 Picks And Top 25 Matchups

The 2022 Week 12 picks and college football Top 25 report includes 2 Top 25 match-ups on Saturday, Nov. 19. I provide a preview with Opinions and Leans in those ranked vs ranked match-ups, plus bonus Picks on other Top 25 contests.

Our side picks are 7-3 since the second week of October on ranked vs ranked Top 25 match-ups following Week 7, Week 8, Week 9, Week 10 and Week 11, which was a 2-1 result and included the outright win by Washington (+13) at Oregon last Saturday. As a bonus, if you played the other five games I highlighted in the team links, you went 5-0.

You can preview my initial post of 2022 Week 12 picks and analysis of Top 25 match-ups at Offshore Gaming Association. I bet other games as well, and try to monitor and stay ahead of some of the market moves.

Week 12 Top 25 Matchups and Picks

Click the highlighted link of the team of choice below, as I add a game preview, stats and betting insight in my coverage for FanDuel Sportsbook.

No. 6 USC at No. 17 UCLA | 8:00 p.m. ET on FOX
Line: USC -2.5 and Total 76.5

Opinion: UCLA

This line opened USC -4 Sunday in Las Vegas, and is now down to USC -2.5 with the total down a full 6 points to 76.5

No. 10 Utah at No. 12 Oregon | 10:30 p.m. ET on ESPN
Line: Utah -1.5 and Total 61

This line opened Oregon -1 Sunday in Las Vegas, and moved from to Utah the favorite from -1.5 to -2 and now -2.5 on Friday. Monitor the status of Oregon QB Bo Nix. The total is up sharply from the opener of 55.5 points.

Lean: Utah

Bonus Picks

Review the Top 25 CFB Playoff rankings below, and we’ll add bonus Picks on Illinois (+18) and Maryland (+27.5) in their games against Michigan and Ohio State. Both lines dipped a half to 1-point since I posted at OSGA and covered for FanDuel Sportsbook. I also make a case for the underdog Oklahoma State (+7.5) in their Bedlam battle and rivalry game at Oklahoma. I have other bets and interest in additional CFB games Saturday, and you can read more game analysis of CFB games on Saturday at The Duel Sports. The winning started earlier this week with MACtion.

I already have an advance bet on Michigan (+10.5) at Ohio State next week for the Big Game and all the marbles with a Big Ten Championship game entry and CFB Playoff berth still on the line for those two undefeated teams.

Check out some of my other NCAA football betting previews for FanDuel Sportsbook at The Duel Sports. I bet some of the assigned games but certainly not all. Selective betting is the advantage of being the bettor and not bookmaker.
