Top Week 13 college football predictions

One of the top college football picks the model is recommending for Week 13: No. 7 Oklahoma State (-3.5) covers against No. 10 Oklahoma in the 2021 Bedlam Series rivalry matchup at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. The Cowboys are normally synonymous with offense, but they boast the top-ranked defense in the Big 12 this season. They’re also putting up 31.4 points per game, and the model sees that combination overwhelming an inconsistent OU squad.

A win in this one and a Big 12 title would be enough to put OSU squarely in the College Football Playoff conversation. The Cowboys have also been a tremendous team to back this season as they’re a sizzling 9-1 against the spread. SportsLine’s model shows them covering more than 60 percent of the time, making OSU a top pick for rivalry week college football bets.

Another one of the college football predictions from the model: No.11 Oregon (-7) takes care of business against Oregon State in a 3:30 p.m. ET matchup on Saturday. The Ducks will be looking to bounce back from a loss to Utah and continue their 18-game home winning streak on Saturday afternoon. They still have plenty to play for, as a win in this game would clinch their spot in the Pac-12 title game. Oregon has won eight of the last 10 meetings in this series, including a 24-10 win at home two years ago.

The Ducks are led by running back Travis Dye, who has rushed for 937 yards and 12 touchdowns on 158 carries. He will be facing an Oregon State run defense that is allowing more than four yards per attempt. SportsLine’s model projects Dye to rush for nearly 90 yards and one touchdown in this game, which is one reason why the Ducks are covering the spread in 60 percent of simulations.

How to make Week 13 college football picks

The model has also made the call on who wins and covers in every other game on the Week 13 college football schedule, and it’s also calling for a top College Football Playoff contender to get a huge scare from a big underdog. You can only get every pick for every game at SportsLine.
