I’m nonetheless making an attempt to get well from final weekend’s Jets (+3.5) guess. Dropping on a punt return landing within the remaining minute took a 12 months off my life.

Our greatest bets (27-24-1) are within the inexperienced, and I’m rolling with 5 performs over the subsequent few days. This house isn’t the place for one million picks or five-team parlays, both. These are the video games I really like probably the most.

Let’s go to work with odds courtesy of FOX Guess.

No. 9 Oregon at No. 21 Oregon State (3:30 p.m. ET Saturday, ABC)

I hate how a lot I really like the Beavers this weekend.

Oregon quarterback Bo Nix clearly isn’t wherever close to 100% – he solely rushed the ball twice for -3 yards final Saturday – and he’s very fortunate that Utah’s Cam Rising hurled three interceptions.

Oregon State’s dual-threat offense will problem the Geese protection all afternoon lengthy, and I received’t be shocked if the Beavs pull the upset in Corvallis. OSU is 9-2 ATS this season, and I count on one other tally within the left column.

Take the factors.

PICK: Oregon State (+3 at FOX Guess) to lose by fewer than 3 factors (or win outright)

No. 3 Michigan at No. 2 Ohio State (midday, FOX and FOX Sports activities App)

If Blake Corum was wholesome, this might be a distinct story.

Michigan’s star operating again is reportedly going to “attempt to give it a go,” however I don’t count on a lot from him. That actually sucks for Michigan as a result of Corum is the baseline for every thing their offense does.

In the meantime, the forecast couldn’t be higher for Ohio State’s high-flying move assault. Temperatures are anticipated to be within the mid-50s with no precipitation and minimal wind, so Heisman Trophy favourite C.J. Stroud ought to thrive with all these skillful broad receivers.

Give me the Buckeyes by double digits.

PICK: Ohio State (-8 at FOX Guess) to win by greater than 8 factors

No. 25 Louisville at Kentucky (3 p.m. ET Saturday, SEC Community)

There’s nonetheless no phrase concerning the standing of Cardinals’ beginning quarterback Malik Cunningham. The senior missed final week’s dwelling finale in opposition to NC State with a shoulder damage and even when he performs, will he be efficient?

Both manner, these SEC rivals are each holding their opponents to lower than 20 factors per sport, and Kentucky’s run protection could be very stingy. And these two offenses have left quite a bit to be desired over the previous few weeks.

Louisville’s D is sneaky good in opposition to the move, and I don’t count on Kentucky’s Will Levis to go bananas both. A 20-17 remaining is extraordinarily attainable.

Protection, protection, protection.

PICK: Beneath 43 whole factors scored mixed by each groups at FOX Guess

Herd Hierarchy: Bucs return, 49ers climb up on Colin’s High 10 of Week 12

Colin Cowherd shares his High 10 groups heading into Week 12.

Texans at Dolphins (1 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS)

Are the Miami Dolphins two touchdowns higher than anyone?

Eh.

The Texans aren’t for everyone, however they’re powerful to move up when the purpose unfold is that this large. Houston head coach Lovie Smith has created a stable tradition, and this group has actually fought in each sport during the last month. That’s greater than half the battle with an enormous underdog.

Certain, Miami’s offense is loaded, however its protection is nothing particular. Houston ought to be capable of transfer the chains with operating again Dameon Pierce, and so long as Davis Mills protects the soccer, I like my possibilities. Additionally, it’s very possible the backdoor by no means closes with a quantity this massive.

I’ll take two touchdowns on this spot.

PICK: Texans (+14 at FOX Guess) to lose by fewer than 14 factors (or win outright)

Aaron Rodgers, Packers booed off Lambeau subject in Week 11 loss to Titans

Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe react to Packers loss vs. Titans.

Packers at Eagles (8:20 p.m. ET Sunday, NBC)

Philadelphia isn’t enjoying good soccer these days.  

The Eagles misplaced at dwelling to Washington two weeks in the past and barely escaped Indianapolis final Sunday with a 17-16 victory. It’s wonderful what occurs when you’ll be able to’t feast on a mediocre quarterback each week, huh?

It’s no enjoyable betting on groups on life assist, however I don’t assume the Packers have give up simply but. That is mainly their season, and I’ve definitely made worse bets through the years than placing my cash on a determined Aaron Rodgers.

Give me Inexperienced Bay just below a landing.

PICK: Packers (+6.5 at FOX Guess) to lose by fewer than 6.5 factors (or win outright)
