College Football 2022 Week 13 Picks And Top 25 Matchups

The 2022 Week 13 picks and college football Top 25 report includes three Top 25 match-ups on Saturday, Nov. 26. I provide a preview with Picks, Opinions and Leans in those ranked vs ranked match-ups, along with a bonus pick, which went 2-0 in Week 12 with easy big ‘Dog covers by Illinois and Maryland.

Our side picks are 9-3 since the second week of October on ranked vs ranked Top 25 match-ups following Week 7, Week 8, Week 9Week 10, Week 11 and Week 12. Following a bad start to the season Top 25 Picks, we now stand 9-7 ATS into the final regular season weekend.

You can preview my initial post of 2022 Week 13 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.

I also provide a Week 13 college football big rivalry weekend update for Forbes which includes betting data and information you can bet on.

Jason Scott, Vice President of trading for BetMGM out of Las Vegas, sent me a few messages on the four biggest bet games of the day which includes:

  • No. 3 Michigan at No. 2 Ohio State (-7.5) | 12 p.m. ET | FOX
  • No. 9 Oregon (-3) at No. 21 Oregon State | 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC
  • No. 15 Notre Dame at No. 6 USC (-4.5) | 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC
  • Auburn at No. 7 Alabama (-22) 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS

“The Michigan-Ohio State game currently has five times (5x) more money bet than any other college football game,” Scott said.

Bonus Picks

One bonus pick in Top 25 action updated Friday night for Saturday kickoff. The number has been dropping and I bet earlier, and it’s still available at Caesars and BetMGM at +14.5.

South Carolina (+14.5) at Clemson

Inflation is never a good thing, and especially when betting on overvalued and overbet teams. Clemson has a slightly above average pass defense in the ACC, and the Tigers 412 yards per game offense ranks No. 6 in the weakest Power 5 conference. Clemson won last year’s meeting 30-0. The Tigers are 16-1 SU in their last 17 home games. All this is factored into the price, and the Tigers are overrated. You should take advantage in this rivalry game
