College Football Odds for Week 12

In-Progress Games for College Football Week 12

No. 21 Kansas State vs No. 25 Kansas Odds

• Opening point spread: Kansas State -7.5
• Opening moneyline: Kansas State -315/Kansas +245
• Opening total: Over/Under 55.5 points scored
• Time: 7 p.m. ET Saturday (FS1)

UPDATE 6:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: As kickoff looms, Kansas State is down to 7-point chalk in BetMGM's college football odds Week 12 market. The Wildcats opened -7.5, stretched to -9.5 by Thursday and got to -10 this morning. But the line has since backtracked 3 points.

Kansas State is getting 60% of spread tickets/77% of spread money.

BetMGM Nevada's Scott Shelton said the book took sharp play in the last 30 minutes on Over 57.5, moving the total to 58.5. And the number is now out to 59.5, after opening at 55.5.

Shelton said practically all the tickets and money at BetMGM Nevada are on the Over. For BetMGM nationally, it's not quite as tilted, with tickets and money 2.5/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET THURSDAY: K-State initially dipped from -7.5 to -7 Monday morning at PointsBet. But on Monday afternoon, the line shot to -8.5 for a few hours, then settled at -8.

It's two-way spread play with a lean toward the visiting Wildcats, at 53% of tickets and money.

The total moved from 55.5 to 56.5 Monday and hasn't budged since, with 62% of early tickets/88% of early cash on the Over.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: Kansas State (7-3 SU/7-2-1 ATS) is a missed fourth-and-goal away from being on a five-game SU and ATS win streak. Still, the Wildcats are 4-1 SU/4-0-1 ATS in their last five.

In Week 11, K-State put a 59-25 beatdown on Baylor laying 21 points at home.

On the flip side, Kansas (7-3 SU/5-5 ATS) lost to Texas Tech 16-13 giving 3.5 points at home.

Kansas State opened and remains -7.5 on TwinSpires' college football Week 12 odds board. Home underdog Kansas is taking 76% of early spread bets/77% of early spread money.

"Kansas is the clear trendy 'dog of the week. Kansas moneyline is also a big liability already, with 4/1 tickets and 6/1 money on the Jayhawks," Lucas said.

The total is stable at 55.5, with 63% of bets/69% of cash on the Over.

No. 5 Washington vs No. 11 Oregon State Odds

• Opening point spread: Oregon State -1
• Opening moneyline: Oregon State -113/Washington -108
• Opening total: Over/Under 64 points scored
• Time: 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday (ABC)

UPDATE 6:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: This line has bounced around at BetMGM throughout the week. Washington opened -1, and on Monday, the line flipped to Oregon State -1/-2. The Beavers topped out at -2.5 Tuesday, dipped to -2 Thursday, and the line jumped the fence again this morning, to Huskies -1.

It's now Oregon State -1, an hour before kickoff. As the line movement might suggest, it's two-way spread play, with 54% of tickets on Washington/57% of spread money on Oregon State.

"This is the sharp play Game of the Day," BetMGM Nevada's Scott Shelton said, noting it's Pros vs. Joes, with sharp action on Oregon State and the public backing Washington.

The total opened at 64.5, went to 63.5 Monday and 62.5 Thursday. It's now 62.5 (Under -115), with 67% of tickets on the Over/57% of money on the Under.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET THURSDAY: Oregon State is out to a 2.5-point favorite at PointsBet, up from the -1 (-115) opener. The Beavers made a Monday stop at -2 before going to -2.5 Wednesday.

Oregon State is netting 59% of spread bets/78% of spread dollars.

"The market is saying that these two teams are even on a neutral field. Washington just hasn't looked as dominant after edging out Oregon a month ago," trader Wyatt Satre said in PointsBet's daily newsletter The Hustle. "It's also supposed to be rainy in Corvallis, which benefits Oregon State's ground game more than Washington's aerial attack.

"Oregon State is a very dangerous team at home, and the Beavers have been getting sharp action here."

The total opened at 63.5, nudged to 64 briefly Monday, then returned to 63.5. This morning, the number dipped to 62.5 (Over -115) on the way to the current 62.5 (Under -115). But it's now back at 63.5, with 56% of bets on the Over/83% of cash on the Under.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: Washington (10-0 SU/5-4-1 ATS) kept its CFP hopes quite alive with a big finish against a solid Utah outfit. Trailing 28-24 well into the fourth quarter, the Huskies scored the final 11 points to win 35-28. But Washington failed to cash as 9.5-point home chalk.

Oregon State (8-2 SU/6-4 ATS) had no such troubles with Stanford. The Beavers rumbled to a 62-17 home win, easily covering as 21.5-point faves.

Perhaps surprisingly, Oregon State opened as a 1-point home favorite against unbeaten Washington. The number hasn't moved yet at TwinSpires, though early tickets and money are running 2/1 on the Huskies.

"A 10-0 team at nearly a pick 'em is tough to pass up. I expect the public to be all over Washington this week," Lucas said.

The total moved from 64 to 64.5, with tickets and money just shy of 2/1 on the Over.

Florida vs No. 9 Missouri Odds

• Opening point spread: Missouri -11
• Opening moneyline: Missouri -440/Florida +335
• Opening total: Over/Under 59.5 points scored
• Time: 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday (ESPN)

UPDATE 6:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: BetMGM opened Missouri -10.5, moved to -11 and -11.5 Wednesday. The Tigers are now -11.5 (-115) on two-way action, with 52% of bets on Mizzou/55% of money on Florida.

That's BetMGM's overall nationwide picture. At BetMGM Nevada, Scott Shelton said the book took two huge Missouri -11.5 plays, for $330,000 and $110,000.

"It's one of the biggest games of the day for us now. All the F-1 high rollers are in town," Shelton said, alluding to tonight's Las Vegas Grand Prix under the lights on the Strip.

The total dropped from 59.5 to 57.5 Thursday and remains 57.5 tonight. For BetMGM nationwide, tickets and money are 4/1 on the Over, contrary to the move.

UPDATE 11:30 A.M. ET FRIDAY: Mizzou moved from -10.5 to -11 Monday in BetMGM's college football odds Week 12 market. On Wednesday, the Tigers nudged up another half-point to -11.5.

That noted, it's two-way spread action, with 52% of tickets on Missouri/56% of spread dollars on Florida.

BetMGM's total is down 2 points, moving straight from 59.5 to 57.5 Thursday. The Over is getting 64% of tickets, while 57% of cash is on the Under.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: Missouri (8-2 SU/7-3 ATS) apparently took umbrage with being a 2.5-point home 'dog against Tennessee. The Tigers boat-raced the Vols 36-7, shutting out Tennessee over the final 57 minutes-plus.

Mizzou has covered four in a row and is 7-1 ATS in its last eight games.

Meanwhile, Florida (5-5 SU/3-7 ATS) is just hoping to get bowl-eligible. In Week 11, the Gators pressed LSU into the fourth quarter, trailing 38-35 with 10:27 remaining. But Florida couldn't keep handle Jayden Daniels, losing 52-35 as a 16.5-point road pup.

The Gators are on an 0-3 SU and ATS slide.

This morning, Missouri moved from -11 to -11.5 on Caesars Sports' college football Week 12 odds board.

No. 7 Texas vs Iowa State Odds

• Opening point spread: Texas -9
• Opening moneyline: Texas -375/Iowa State +285
• Opening total: Over/Under 48 points scored
• Time: 8 p.m. ET Saturday (FOX)

UPDATE 6:45 P.M. ET SATURDAY: An hour-plus before kickoff, Texas is down to -7 (-115) at BetMGM. The Longhorns opened -8.5, spent most of the week at -7.5 and went to -7 (-115) this afternoon.

Spread ticket count is virtually dead even, and Iowa State is netting 53% of spread money for BetMGM nationwide. But again, there's a huge play at BetMGM Nevada, $300,000 on Iowa State +7 (-105).

The total slowly made its way down from 48.5 Sunday to 44.5 (Over -115) today. There were stops at 47.5 Monday and 46 Friday at BetMGM. The Over is landing 60% of tickets, while 52% of money is on the Over.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET THURSDAY: This has become a compelling game, with multiple sportsbooks reporting sharp action on home underdog Iowa State. PointsBet opened Texas -7.5 and climbed to -8.5 Monday afternoon. But within a few hours, the spread returned to Longhorns -7.5 (-115).

Since then, Texas has mostly been at various iterations of -7.5, save for a few hours Tuesday at -8/-8 (-105). It's now Longhorns -7.5 flat, with the Cyclines attracting 68% of early tickets and a massive 96% of early cash.

The total went from 47.5 to 48 and back to 47.5, all on Monday, then fell to 47 Tuesday. The Over is drawing 73% of tickets and practically all the money so far.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: Texas (9-1 SU/4-6 ATS) was on cruise control at halftime against TCU, holding a 26-6 lead. Ultimately, the Lonhorns barely held on for a 29-26 Week 11 victory, failing to cash as 13-point road favorites.

Iowa State (6-4 SU and ATS) went to BYU as a 7.5-point favorite and exited with a blowout 45-13 victory. The Cyclones are 4-1 SU and ATS in their last five games.

Texas is already down a point to -8 in TwinSpires' college football odds Week 12 market. The Longhorns are netting 58% of early spread tickets, but 60% of early spread cash is on the Cyclones.

"It's shaping up to be a Pros vs. Joes battle. The pros are on Iowa State," Lucas said.

The total inched from 48 to 48.5, with tickets and money in the 2/1 range on the Over.

North Alabama vs No. 4 Florida State Odds

• Opening point spread: Florida State -48.5 (-115)
• Opening moneyline: N/A
• Opening total: Over/Under 59.5 (Over -115)
• Time: 6:30 p.m. ET Saturday (CW Network)

UPDATE 6:15 P.M. ET SATURDAY: As an FBS vs. FCS matchup, BetMGM didn't post this game until this morning. Florida State is laying a mountainous 47.5 (-115), no surprise, though that's down a point from the opener.

The total rose from 59.5 (Over -115) to 60.5 (Over -115) midafternoon, then went back to 59.5 (Over -115) in the past 30 minutes. But as kickoff approaches, the number has surged to 61.5 (Over -115).

Betting splits aren't available.

UPDATE 11:30 A.M. ET FRIDAY: Since Florida State is facing an FCS foe, this game is not yet posted on BetMGM's college football Week 12 odds board.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: Florida State (10-0 SU/6-4 ATS) got a good test from Miami in Week 10. The game was tied at 10 at halftime, and the Seminoles trailed 13-10 early in the third quarter.

But the 'Noles then strung together three straight scores – a field goal and two TDs – and held on for a 27-20 win as 14.5-point home favorites.

Up next for Florida State is practically a bye against FCS foe North Alabama (3-7 SU). The Lions were off in Week 11, after a 27-14 home loss to Central Arkansas in Week 10.

Georgia State vs No. 15 LSU Odds

• Opening point spread: LSU -31.5
• Opening moneyline: LSU -25000/Georgia State +2500
• Opening total: Over/Under 71.5 points scored
• Time: 8 p.m. ET Saturday (ESPN2)

UPDATE 11:30 A.M. ET FRIDAY: LSU adjusted from -30.5 to -30.5 (-115) Monday at BetMGM, then advanced to -31.5 Wednesday. Tickets and money are running 9/1 on the Bayou Bengals.

The total moved from 71.5 to 72.5 Thursday, but tickets and money are almost dead even.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: The Jayden Daniels Heisman Trophy campaign was on full display when LSU met Florida in Week 11. Daniels threw for 372 yards and three TDs, and he rushed for a whopping 234 yards and another two TDs.

LSU (7-3 SU/6-4 ATS) needed all that effort to pull away late for a 52-35 win laying 16.5 points at home.

After a solid 6-1 SU/5-2 ATS start, Georgia State is on an 0-3 SU and ATS purge. In Week 11, the Panthers (6-4 SU/5-5 ATS) were 3-point home favorites vs. Appalachian State and got plowed under 42-14.

Caesars Sports opened Georgia State-LSU at Tigers -31.5 and is now at -31.

No. 23 Oklahoma State vs Houston Odds

• Opening point spread: Oklahoma State -7.5
• Opening moneyline: Oklahoma State -292/Houston +235
• Opening total: Over/Under 60 points scored
• Time: 4 p.m. ET Saturday (ESPN2)

UPDATE 11:30 A.M. ET FRIDAY: BetMGM pushed the Cowboys from -7 to -6.5 Thursday, and that's where the line remains today. It's two-way spread play with a lean toward Oklahoma State, at 53% of bets/55% of money.

The total opened at 59.5 and on Thursday dropped to 58.5/57.5. Within a couple hours, it rebounded to 58.5. Tickets and money are both beyond 9/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: Oklahoma State's five-game SU and ATS run crashed in blowout fashion. The Cowboys (7-3 SU/6-4 ATS) were 2.5-point favorites at Central Florida and got trucked 45-3.

Houston (4-6 SU/5-5 ATS) also fell short as a Week 11 favorite. The Cougars lost to Cincinnati 24-14 giving 3 points at home.

Caesars opened Oklahoma State-Houston at Cowboys -7.5 and dipped to -7 this morning. The total is also down a half-point to 59.5.

No. 6 Oregon vs Arizona State Odds

• Opening point spread: Oregon -22.5
• Opening moneyline: Oregon -1700/Arizona State +950
• Opening total: Over/Under 54 points scored
• Time: 4 p.m. ET Saturday (FOX)

UPDATE 11:30 A.M. ET FRIDAY: BetMGM moved Oregon from -22.5 to -23.5 Monday. The number was steady at -23.5 (-115) from Tuesday until this morning, when the Ducks jumped to -24.5 (-105).

Oregon is taking 58% of spread tickets/74% of spread dollars.

The total went from 54.5 to 55.5 (Under -115) briefly Thursday, then actually fell 2 points to 53.5. The Under is seeing 61% of tickets/75% of money.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: Oregon (9-1 SU/8-1-1 ATS) stayed firmly in the College Football Playoff odds conversation in Week 11. The Ducks topped Southern Cal 36-27, but didn't cover as 16.5-point home favorites.

Arizona State (3-7 SU/5-4-1 ATS) notched a surprising Week 11 victory. The Sun Devils closed as 14.5-point road 'dogs and beat UCLA 17-7.

Neither the spread nor total have moved early on in Caesars' college football odds Week 12 market.

Minnesota vs No. 2 Ohio State Odds

• Opening point spread: Ohio State -28.5
• Opening moneyline: Ohio State -4500/Minnesota +1550
• Opening total: Over/Under 49 points scored
• Time: 4 p.m. ET Saturday (Big Ten Network)

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET FRIDAY: The Buckeyes dipped from -28.5 to -27.5 Monday and are still at -27.5 this morning. Ohio State is taking 66% of spread bets/56% of spread dollars in BetMGM's college football odds Week 12 market.

The total opened at 48.5 and rose to 49.5 Wednesday. Ticket count is 2/1 and money beyond 9/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: Ohio State (10-0 SU/5-4-1 ATS) hopes to maintain its spot atop the CFP rankings. In Week 11, the Buckeyes led Michigan State 35-3 at halftime and let off the gas from there, winning 38-3 as 32.5-point home favorites.

Minnesota (5-5 SU/3-7 ATS) was a modest 1.5-point fave at Purdue and got blown out 49-20.

Caesars moved Ohio State from -28.5 to -27.5 this morning.

No. 1 Georgia vs No. 18 Tennessee Odds

• Opening point spread: Georgia -10
• Opening moneyline: Georgia -365/Tennessee +265
• Opening total: Over/Under 59.5 points scored
• Time: 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday (CBS)

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET SATURDAY: BetMGM advanced Georgia from -10 to -10.5 Monday and spent most of the week at -10.5, at various juice. But the Bulldogs dipped to -9.5 Friday. Still, ticket count is 6/1-plus and money 5/1 on Georgia.

"We need the Vols to cover 9.5 and 10.5, too," BetMGM trader Seamus Magee said.

The total fell from 59.5 to 58.5 Monday, then adjusted to 58.5 (Over -115) this morning. Ticket count is 2.5/1 and money 5/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET THURSDAY: The Bulldogs opened -10.5 (-105) at PointsBet and have been at -10 (-115) or -10 flat since Monday. Georgia is currently -10 (-115),

It's all Georgia on the spread so far, at 84% of bets/93% of money.

"We have liability on Georgia, as bettors are backing the Bulldogs both on the moneyline and the spread," PointsBet trader Will Radice said. "Georgia is coming off a strong showing against Ole Miss, and bettors are looking for the Bulldogs to continue their momentum into the CFP. Although they will be without Ladd McConkey, star tight end Brock Bowers [returned last week] and should [continue] to give the Georgia offense a boost.

"Meanwhile, the Vols are coming off a 36-7 loss at Missouri, giving the public little confidence in their chances."

The total opened at 59.5 (Under -115), bottomed out at 58 (Over -120) multiple times and is now at 58.5. The Over is seeing 92% of bets/68% of money.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: Georgia (10-0 SU/4-6 ATS) made a strong case to overtake Ohio State atop the CFP rankings. Facing No. 9 Ole Miss, the Bulldogs bulldozed to a 52-17 home win giving 11.5 points.

Georgia remains No. 1 in the AP poll.

Tennessee (7-3 SU/6-4 ATS) closed as a 2.5-point favorite at Missouri and took an early 7-3 lead. But the Vols didn't score again, giving up 33 straight points in a 36-7 loss.

Georgia is already up a half-point to -10.5 in TwinSpires' college football odds Week 12 market. Ticket count is 2/1 and money 3/1 on the Bulldogs.

"We're seeing early lopsided money on Georgia. It's very likely the Vols will be a big need for us," Lucas said.

The total nudged from 59.5 to 59, with 52% of early tickets/59% of early money on the Under.

No. 20 North Carolina vs Clemson Odds

• Opening point spread: Clemson -7.5
• Opening moneyline: North Carolina -267/Clemson +215
• Opening total: Over/Under 58 points scored
• Time: 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday (ESPN)

UPDATE 11:30 A.M. ET SATURDAY: Not much has changed since Friday at BetMGM (see below update). Clemson adjusted slightly from -7.5 to -7.5 (-105), and the Tigers are taking 71% of tickets/61% of money on the spread.

The total remains 59.5, with tickets almost 6/1 and money 4/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET FRIDAY: Clemson dropped from 7 to -6.5 Monday at BetMGM, then went to -7 (-105) Tuesday. On Thursday, the Tigers climbed to -7.5, where the number remains now.

However, spread tickets are running 2.5/1 and spread money 2/1 on North Carolina.

The total jumped from 58.5 to 59.5 Thursday, with tickets 3/1 and money almost 9/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: North Carolina (8-2 SU/6-4 ATS) survived a wild shootout against rival Duke in Week 11. The Tar Heels got a field goal as time expired to tie the game at 36 and force overtime. UNC went on to win 47-45 in double overtime, but didn't cover as 10.5-point chalk.

Clemson (6-4 SU/4-6 ATS) is trying to salvage a disappointing season. In Week 11, the Tigers gave up a first-quarter TD to Georgia Tech to fall behind 7-0. But Dabo Swinney's squad scored the next 42 points in a 42-21 home rout laying 14.5 points.

Clemson actually opened -7.5 at Caesars, and that number is already down to -6.5, with a stop at -7 along the way.

Wake Forest vs No. 19 Notre Dame Odds

• Opening point spread: Notre Dame -24.5
• Opening moneyline: Notre Dame -4000/Wake Forest +1450
• Opening total: Over/Under 47 points scored
• Time: 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday (NBC)

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET FRIDAY: The Fighting Irish are pinned to -24.5 at BetMGM, with no movement this week. Ticket count is 3/1 and money 7/1 on Notre Dame.

The total went from 47.5 to 46.5 Tuesday, and it's been stable since then. Ticket count is 3/1 on the Over, but money is nearly 4/1 on the Under.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: Notre Dame (7-3 SU and ATS) had a bye in Week 11, and probably needed it. In Week 10, the Fighting Irish fell to Clemson 31-23 giving 3 points on the road.

Wake Forest (4-6 SU and ATS) lost to North Carolina State 26-6 as a 1.5-point home underdog. After winning their first three games, the Demon Deacons are on a 1-6 SU skid (3-4 ATS).

Notre Dame remains at Caesars' -24.5 opener, and the total is up a notch to 47.5.

Illinois vs No. 16 Iowa Odds

• Opening point spread: Iowa -4
• Opening moneyline: Iowa -178/Illinois +150
• Opening total: Over/Under 30 points scored
• Time: 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday (FS1)

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET FRIDAY: BetMGM opened Iowa -3.5, adjusted to -3.5 (-115) and -3.5 (-105) Monday, then dipped to -3 Thursday. The Hawkeyes are netting 63% of spread bets/55% of spread money.

Interestingly, the total has actually climbed in an Iowa game. BetMGM opened at 30.5, briefly went to 31.5 Monday, then fell back to the opener. But Thursday brought moves to 31/31.5/32.5, and it's now at 32.5 (Under -115). Still, tickets and money are 4/1 on the Under.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: Iowa's ability to win ugly, low-scoring games is unparalleled in college football. The Hawkeyes (8-2 SU/5-4-1 ATS) have seen the Over hit in just one of their last six games, and they've gone 5-1 SU in that span (3-2-1 ATS).

In Week 11, Iowa was up 6-0 going into the fourth quarter of a rock fight vs. Rutgers. Then the Hawkeyes exploded – particularly by their standards – for two TDs and a field goal to win 22-0 as 1.5-point home faves.

The Under is on a 5-0 run for Iowa, and the 22-point barrier hasn't been surpassed in its last four games.

By comparison, Illinois' Week 10 contest with Indiana was a complete 180. The Illini (5-5 SU/2-8 ATS), 5-point home favorites, won a scoring festival 48-45 in overtime.

Iowa slipped from -4 to -3.5 this morning at Caesars Sports. And the tidy total of 30 actually ticked up to 30.5.

Appalachian State vs No. 18 James Madison Odds

• Opening point spread: James Madison -12
• Opening moneyline: James Madison -450/Appalachian State +350
• Opening total: Over/Under 55.5 points scored
• Time: 2 p.m. ET Saturday (ESPN+)

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET SATURDAY: James Madison tumbled from -12.5 to -8.5 by Tuesday at BetMGM, and the Dukes are now -9.5. Splits aren't available, but BetMGM Nevada's Scott Shelton said Appalachian State drew sharp play at +11.5.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: James Madison (10-0 SU/7-3 ATS) thumped UConn 44-6 laying 25.5 points at home in Week 11. Appalachian State (6-4 SU/4-5-1 ATS) rolled over Georgia State 42-14 catching 3 points on the road.

The undefeated Dukes opened -12 on Caesars' college football Week 12 odds board. James Madison got bet down to -11 this morning and is now -11.5.

James Madison isn't ranked in the CFP poll, since it's in the second year of the two-year transition from FCS to FBS and therefore isn't eligible to play in a bowl game. But the Dukes are No. 18 in the AP poll.

So we're keeping JMU's games in this report, because we're not going to honor the NCAA's shortsightedness. The university is in the midst of its second appeal to the NCAA to reduce the transition to one year.

No. 22 Utah vs No. 17 Arizona Odds

• Opening point spread: Arizona -1
• Opening moneyline: Arizona -110/Utah -110
• Opening total: Over/Under 45 points scored
• Time: 2:30 p.m. ET Saturday (Pac-12 Network)

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET SATURDAY: This line flipped from Utah -1 to Arizona -1 right out of the gate Sunday night at BetMGM. The Wildcats then spent most of the week at -1 before advancing to -1.5 this morning.

It's two-way spread play, with 55% of tickets on Arizona/55% of money on Utah.

"Sharp play right away on Arizona +1," BetMGM Nevada's Scott Shelton said, noting the pros jumped on the Wildcats on Sunday night.

The total is up to 46.5 from a 45 opener, with 76% of tickets and a hefty 95% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET THURSDAY: PointsBet has been at some iteration of Arizona -1 all week, opening -1 flat and spending time at -1 (-115) and -1 (-105). That said, Utah is seeing 54% of spread bets and a healthy 82% of spread money so far.

The total opened at 46 Under -120 and dipped to 44.5 by Tuesday morning. Early this afternoon, the number ticked up to 45 before turning to 44. Contrary to the move, tickets and money are 5/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: Utah gave unbeaten Washington all it could handle, leading 28-24 well into the fourth quarter. But the Utes (7-3 SU/6-3-1 ATS) couldn't hold off Michael Penix and Co., losing 35-28 while covering as 9.5-point road pups.

Arizona enters on a four-game SU win streak (3-1 ATS). In Week 11 at Colorado, the Wildcats survived a back-and-forth battle, winning 34-31 on a final-seconds field goal. But the 'Cats fell short of cashing as 8-point favorites.

The Utah-Arizona spread has already jumped the fence at TwinSpires, from Arizona -1 to Utah -1. The Utes are drawing 62% of spread bets/66% of spread dollars.

"Early money is on the Utes," Lucas said.

The total moved from 45 to 44.5 early, with 60% of bets on the Over/56% of money on the Under.

"Sharp play on Under 45," Lucas said.

No. 3 Michigan vs Maryland Odds

• Opening point spread: Michigan -20.5
• Opening moneyline: Michigan -1300/Maryland +800
• Opening total: Over/Under 51 points scored
• Time: Noon ET Saturday (FOX)

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET SATURDAY: An hour before kickoff, Michigan is down to -18.5 in BetMGM's college football odds Week 12 market. That's after the Wolverines opened -20.5 and spent pretty much all week at -19.5 before the dip to -18.5 this morning.

Still, tickets and money are running 2/1-plus on Michigan.

"We'll need Maryland +19.5 big," BetMGM trader Seamus Magee said.

The total initially ticked up from 50.5 to 51, but then made its way down to 49.5. It's now at 50.5 again, with 58% of tickets on the Over/55% of money on the Under.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET THURSDAY: The Wolverines hit PointsBet's college football odds Week 12 market as 19.5-point favorites. Michigan moved to -19 Monday morning and hasn't moved off that since, save for a brief Tuesday juice adjustment to -19 (-115).

Early spread tickets are running 4/1 and early spread money beyond 9/1 on the big favorite.

The total opened at 51.5 (Under -115) and dropped to 49.5 by Wednesday evening, with multiple stops along the way Monday/Tuesday.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: Michigan (10-0 SU/5-4-1 ATS) didn't have coach Jim Harbaugh on the sidelines against Penn State. It might have mattered a little, but the Wolverines used a ground-and-pound game and defense to claim a 24-15 victory as 4.5-point road faves.

Maryland (6-4 SU/4-6 ATS) snapped an 0-4 SU and ATS slide in Week 11. The Terrapins edged Nebraska 13-10 and narrowly cashed laying 2 points on the road.

TwinSpires has already dipped a point on Michigan, moving to -20, then-19.5. The Wolverines are seeing 65% of early spread tickets, while 54% of early spread cash is on the Terrapins.

"Sharp play on Maryland +20.5," Lucas said.

The total ticked from 51 to 50.5, with 56% of tickets/64% of dollars on the Under.

No. 10 Louisville vs Miami Odds

• Opening point spread: Louisville -1.5
• Opening moneyline: Louisville -115/Miami -106
• Opening total: Over/Under 47 points scored
• Time: Noon ET Saturday (ABC)

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET SATURDAY: The total flipped once again at BetMGM, now sitting at Miami -1 (-105). Beyond that, not much has changed in the past day at BetMGM (see below update). Louisville is taking 66% of spread bets, while spread money narrowly favors Miami, at 52%.

The total is still at 46.5, but action has shifted, at 60% of bets/63% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET FRIDAY: BetMGM opened the Cardinals as 1.5-point favorites, moved to -1 Monday and jumped the fence to Hurricanes -1 (-105) Wednesday. On Thursday, the line flipped to Louisville -1 (-105), where it remains now.

The Cardinals are getting 67% of spread tickets, while 58% of spread money is on the 'Canes.

BetMGM opened the total at 47.5, went to 46.5 Tuesday and hasn't moved since. The Under is seeing 62% of tickets/82% of money.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: Louisville (9-1 SU/5-4-1 ATS) held a 14-0 halftime lead over Virginia, then gave it all back and then some in the third quarter. The Cards trailed 21-14 entering the fourth quarter, but rallied for a 31-24 victory.

Still, Louisville fell far short of covering as 20.5-point chalk.

Meanwhile, Miami's 4-0 SU start – which would've been 5-0 if not for a historically dumb coaching decision vs. Georgia Tech – is now a distant memory. The Hurricanes are 2-4 SU and ATS in their last six games to stand 6-4 SU/5-5 ATS on the season.

In Week 11, Miami hung around at unbeaten Florida State, but didn't have enough in a 27-20 loss getting 14.5 points.

TwinSpires Sportsbook opened Louisville -1.5 vs. Miami, and the number is up to -2 in the college football Week 12 odds market. The Cardinals are getting 60% of early spread bets/69% of early spread money.

"It's a mix of sharp and public play on Louisville. We're going to need Miami, with all of the Louisville handle we see each week," TwinSpires director of retail sports Zachary Lucas said.

Indeed, TwinSpires has a big footprint in Kentucky and draws plenty of Cardinals and Kentucky Wildcats action.

The total bumped from 47 to 47.5 in the early going, with 57% of tickets/58% of money on the Over.

No. 14 Oklahoma vs BYU Odds

• Opening point spread: Oklahoma -24
• Opening moneyline: Oklahoma -2800/BYU +1250
• Opening total: Over/Under 57 points scored
• Time: Noon ET Saturday (ESPN)

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET FRIDAY: The Sooners hit BetMGM's college football odds Week 12 market at -24 Sunday and nudged to -24.5 Wednesday. Oklahoma is taking 59% of spread bets and a hefty 92% of spread dollars.

The total went from 56.5 to 57.5 Thursday, with practically all the early tickets and money on the Over at BetMGM.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: After dropping two in a row to likely blow up its CFP chances, Oklahoma took out its frustrations on West Virginia. The Sooners (8-2 SU/7-3 ATS) hammered the Mountaineers 59-20 giving 13 points at home.

BYU (5-5 SU/3-7 ATS) is on an 0-3 SU and ATS skid entering Week 12. The Cougars got drummed by Iowa State in Week 11, losing 45-13 as 7.5-point home underdogs.

Caesars Sports hasn't moved off its Oklahoma-BYU opener of Sooners -24.

Rutgers vs No. 12 Penn State Odds

• Opening point spread: Penn State -19
• Opening moneyline: Penn State -1400/Rutgers +800
• Opening total: Over/Under 43.5 points scored
• Time: Noon ET Saturday (FS1)

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET FRIDAY: BetMGM pegged Penn State 20.5-point chalk at Sunday's open and is at -20.5 this morning, as well. It's two-way spread play, with 55% of bets on Rutgers/54% of money on Penn State.

The total dropped from 43.5 to 40.5, with 63% of bets/74% of cash on the Under.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: Penn State (8-2 SU/7-3 ATS) likely saw its Big Ten championship game hopes – and therefore any CFP hopes – go up in smoke against Michigan. The Nittany Lions hung around the whole game, but couldn't get enough offense in a 24-15 loss as 4.5-point home underdogs.

Rutgers (6-4 SU/6-2-2 ATS) got shut out at Iowa, losing 22-0 as a 1.5-point road pup.

Rutgers-Penn State opened at Nittany Lions -19 Sunday afternoon at Caesars, and the line climbed to 19.5/20.5 this morning. Conversely, the total is down 1.5 points to 42.

No. 24 Tulane vs Florida Atlantic Odds

• Opening point spread: Tulane -9
• Opening moneyline: Tulane -360/Florida Atlantic +290
• Opening total: Over/Under 48 points scored
• Time: Noon ET Saturday (ESPN+)

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET FRIDAY: Tulane is painted to -9.5 at BetMGM, with no line movement this week. The Green Wave are landing 63% of spread tickets/61% of spread cash so far.

BetMGM's total opened at 48.5, went to 47.5 Monday and 46.5 (Over -115) Wednesday. The Under is getting 54% of tickets/76% of cash.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: Tulane (10-0 SU/3-7 ATS) remained unbeaten with yet another squeaker of a win as a heavy favorite. The Green Wave, laying 24.5 vs. visiting Tulsa, held on for a 24-22 victory.

Tulane's last three wins have come by a combined 7 points, with the Green Wave double-digit faves in all three games. Tulane is on a 1-6 ATS purge.

Florida Atlantic (4-6 SU and ATS) closed as a 7.5-point home favorite against East Carolina and got dusted outright 22-7.

Caesars Sports moved Tulane from -9 to -9.5 today. The total initially nudged up to 48.5, but it's now down to 47.5.

Chattanooga vs No. 8 Alabama Odds

• Opening point spread: TBA
• Opening moneyline: Alabama TBA/Chattanooga TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under TBA
• Time: Noon ET Saturday (ESPN+)

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET SATURDAY: As an FBS vs. FCS matchup, BetMGM didn't post this game until this morning. Alabama is laying a hefty 44.5 points, no surprise, on just a 53.5-point total. Splits aren't available.

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET FRIDAY: Since Alabama is facing an FCS foe, this game is not yet posted on BetMGM's college football Week 12 odds board.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: Since a Week 2 upset home loss to Texas, Alabama is 8-0 SU/6-2 ATS. In Week 11, the Crimson Tide went to Kentucky as 10.5-point favorites and exited with a 49-21 blowout win.

After facing seven straight SEC foes – including wins over ranked Ole Miss, Tennessee and LSU teams – 'Bama (9-1 SU/7-3 ATS) gets a break this week against FCS outfit Chattanooga.

The Mocs (7-3 SU) are having a decent season in the Southern Conference and are coming off a bye. In Week 10, Chattanooga fell to Furman 17-14.

Louisiana-Monroe vs No. 13 Mississippi Odds

• Opening point spread: Mississippi -36
• Opening moneyline: Ole Miss TBA/ULM TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 62.5 points scored
• Time: Noon ET Saturday (SEC Network)

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET FRIDAY: Mississippi climbed from -36.5 to -37.5 Monday at BetMGM, and there's been no movement since. The Rebels are drawing 54% of spread tickets/66% of spread money.

BetMGM hasn't moved the total off of 62.5, making only a juice adjustment to 62.5 (Under -115) Monday. On Thursday, the price returned to 62.5 flat. Betting splits are quite disparate, with 80% of tickets on the Under/74% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: Ole Miss had a chance to gain new respect and some consideration in College Football Playoff odds. But alas, the Rebels were no match for two-time defending national champion Georgia.

Mississippi (8-2 SU/6-3-1 ATS) took a 52-17 beating as an 11.5-point road 'dog.

The Rebels will likely have no trouble rebounding against Sun Belt foe Louisiana-Monroe (2-8 SU/4-6 ATS). In Week 11, the Warhawks got drubbed by Troy 45-14 catching 21.5 points at home.

Ole Miss moved from -36 to -36.5 this morning at Caesars Sports.
