PLAYBETUSA’S NCAA WEEK #13 PREDICTIONS, PICKS, AND ODDS

CINCINNATI BEARCATS AT TEMPLE OWLS

November 28th – 4:00 pm ET – Lincoln Financial Field

Nobody was expecting the Cincinnati Bearcats to be this good, but they sit 8-0 heading into Saturday’s game at Lincoln Financial Field and are currently the seventh-ranked team in the country.

They take on a Temple side who has been abysmal throughout the 2020 campaign, winning just one of their opening seven games. Their only win came in the first game of the year and was against the Bucknell Bison. The Owls are one of the worst teams in the nation and will be fodder for a Bearcats’ team still learning their limitations.

Go with the visitors to cover the large spread but stick with the under as Temple’s offense may struggle to put up points. They managed just three last week against East Carolina and Cincinnati will be looking to do even better and shut the Owls out altogether.

PICKS: Cincinnati

ODDS: Cincinnati (-36.5)
Over/Under: 52.5

OHIO STATE BUCKEYES AT ILLINOIS FIGHTING ILLINI

November 28th– 12:00 pm ET – Memorial Stadium Champaign

The Ohio State Buckeyes enter Saturday’s contest as the number three-ranked team in the country after they took care of business last weekend against the number 12-ranked Indiana. They are nearly 30-point favourites against the Fighting Illini, but with good reason considering they are 4-0.

Illinois is starting to find their form, winning consecutive games to improve their record to 2-3. Despite their impressive performance against Nebraska last week though, they will be in tough against a much better Ohio State side who is looking to prove their national championship credentials.

The spread may seem like a lot but go with the Buckeyes to cover the 28.5, with the over also worth laying money on – even with the total set high at 70. Both teams can score points and Ohio has put up at least 40 points in three of the four games they’ve played this season.

ODDS: Ohio State (-28.5)

KENTUCKY WILDCATS AT FLORIDA GATORS

November 28th– 12:00 pm ET – Ben Hill Griffin Stadium

The Florida Gators have shown they are a top team in the nation but are eager to get back into the top 5 rankings as they look to make a push for the playoffs. They are 6-1 on the season, with their only blemish coming against the fifth-ranked team in the country – Texas A&M – in a close game.

They should have no problems picking Kentucky apart on Saturday. They were embarrassed last week, losing 63-3 against the number-one ranked Alabama Crimson Tide. While they will be eager to show they are better than how they played last week, Florida will also be desperate they can give just as big of a beating as Alabama did.

This one could be over before it even starts as the Gators can be quite fast starters. They beat Vanderbilt on the road by 21 points last weekend and should have no problems covering the 22.5 points they are favoured by on their home field. Go with Florida to get the job done with the over to hit as well.

ODDS: Florida (-22.5)
Over/Under: 60.5

AUBURN TIGERS AT ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE

November 28th – 3:30 pm ET – Bryant-Denny

The Auburn Tigers are no pushover being ranked number 22 in the nation, but still enter Saturday’s contest in Alabama as 24.5-point underdogs. While the Tigers have won three straight, Alabama has been destroying their opponents so far and remain undefeated at 7-0.

The 24.5 points may seem unfair to Auburn and worth taking advantage of, but it’s important to remember that Alabama took down number 5-ranked Texas A&M by 26 points in early October and have won their last two games by a combined total of 104-3.

The Crimson Tide are favorites to win the national championship for a reason and it would not be a wise decision to bet against them anytime soon. Go with Alabama to cover but stay away from the total as it remains to be seen how many points Auburn will be able to put up against the nation’s top defense.

PICKS: Alabama

ODDS: Alabama (-24.5)
Over/Under: 62.5

GEORGIA BULLDOGS AT SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS

November 28th– 7:30 pm ET – Williams-Bruce Stadium

The Georgia Bulldogs will be the 13th ranked team in the nation when they enter Williams-Bruce Stadium on Saturday night, sitting with a respectable 5-2 record. Their only two losses came against top teams in the Florida Gators and Alabama Crimson Tide. However, they have still not proven themselves to be an elite program quite yet.

The Gamecocks have had a rather forgettable 2020 campaign so far, with just two wins. They did knock off the number 22-ranked team in the nation Auburn in one of those victories though, so can be rather unpredictable at times.

However, Georgia is a better football team than Auburn is and won’t be caught off guard on the road by the Gamecocks. Take the visitors to cover the spread as it shouldn’t be a very close game. The total looks risky and worth avoiding considering South Carolina’s rather inconsistent offense.

PICKS: Over

ODDS: Georgia (-20)
Over/Under: 49.5
