NCAA Best Bets For Week 12

Author: Mansi


Week 11 had its share of hits and misses with all the buzz. Victory from Michigan and the best version of Cincinnati along with the great fightback from Tulsa, has all given us high hopes for week 12. This week will come with an important mix up of games which will prove critical in the series. Let us have the best picks for week 12.

Wisconsin Vs Northwestern:

Wisconsin (+28)

Riding on the wave of victory, Wisconsin looks every inch stronger than any opponent. With Northwestern, they may have the best chances of clinching the game as it looks more solid and better equipped. Northwestern has some drawbacks to improvise in their upcoming one-off. Though their defense looks pretty solid with Chris Bergin and Blake Gallagher in the forefront, their offense has taken a major slide to a larger extent. They come to the game with the baggage of victory including the last one (27-20) points against Purdue.

Wisconsin, on the other hand, looks very strong to stride against any team successfully. Coming from a string of victories, they almost have it in them to blow out any team. They have done it in the past against Illinois and Michigan with 45-7 and 49-11 respectively. Graham Mertz’s 12 catches for 127 yards and Jake Ferguson’s 4 receptions proved valuable for their last game leading them to a victory.

Kentucky Vs Alabama:

Alabama (+30)

This will be an interesting tie-up as both the teams stand good chances for winning. Alabama (6-0) overall and Kentucky (3-4) are equally competent teams to clinch the game. Though Alabama boasts a successful stint, Kentucky has an unbeatable 6-0 in the last 6 games in their conference.

Kentucky’s offense has touched a high with Chris Rodriguez’s 13 carriers, 149 yards. He has elevated his levels in recent games and looks strong against any opponent. Alabama on the other hand, enjoying a successful journey, so far, peaks the predictions to take home the victory. They had a cracker of a win against Mississippi with (41-0) margin. Mac Jones 24 carriers, 291 yards looked seamless and powerful. They have a very strong team fully equipped in all departments look to seal victory against any tougher opponent.

USC Vs Utah:

USC (+25)

USC has come across as an energetic and young team. They have set a base for a good series. Being a very strong offensive unit, they clinched a thrilling victory against Arizona. Grant Gunnell’s 24 catches, 286 yards, and Gary Brightwell’s 21 carriers, 112 yards steered victory to the team.

UTAH on the other hand is yet to open their account. We have to wait and see what kind of tough competition they give against the Trojans. They do look like a strong team on paper, while their real test of ability will come into light only when they face the battle.

Cincinnati Vs UCF:

Cincinnati (+12)

This is going to be an interesting one-off. It is almost like Defence Vs Offence taking a shot at each other. Cincinnati’s defense has given the wave of victory for the team. They have spared less than 17 points for the other team’s score. Their previous match against Pirates was an easy win for them with Ridder’s 24 catches, 327 yards. Their defense players like Darrian Beavers, 7 tackles and Fossen’s 4 tackles helped the team swipe through the opponents easily.

While UCF has managed a great victory with their offense, their last game was again an easy victory. Anderson’s 10 carriers, 83 yards, was very impressive. Cincinnati seems to have chances of a win going for them strongly this time. We have to wait and see UCF’s fight against their witty opponent.

Georgia Southern Vs Army:

Georgia (+30)

Georgia looks like a stronger team here as they could easily ride over a victory against Army. Georgia’s game against Texas was thrilling to the last minute. Their defense had a strong backing to beat Texas.

While the Army comes from a defeat against Tulane, they will look forward to seizing a victory with players like Pratt and Kuerschen. It will be interesting to see how they gear up and face the Eagles in their one-off.
