Best College Football Bets for November 23, 2021

• We’re looking at what many are calling “the greatest College Football slate of all time” Saturday, November 23, 2024
• With a slate this big, we have to start early with two noon games
• Check out the best way to bet on these Saturday college football games below

The slate for Saturday is huge. It almost feels illegal. What we need to do in a situation like this is, find two games at noon, and hammer both of them into oblivion. Doing that clears a path for us to have action for every single minute of the entire slate. My uncle always said, “you can’t gamble all day if you don’t start early.” It’s still as true today as it was when I was eight.

Lucky for us, we have two of the best games of the day starting at noon, so we’re good. The obvious one we have to bet is the Indiana Hoosiers/Ohio State Buckeyes matchup. The other one is a low-key one. People don’t even know about it, but the SMU Mustangs/Virginia Cavaliers game could be the best game of the day. Lucky for us, I have the perfect way to bet both of these games.

This could easily be the greatest Saturday of our lives.

The game everyone is talking about is obviously the matchup between Indiana and Ohio State. For that reason, we have to bet it. There’s no chance we can hit the group chat without at least one bet on this thing. It wouldn’t be right.

This is a true David vs Goliath fight that demands our attention.

Indiana has proven this season they can have no problem doing more with less 💪💪

Do you want some truth? I’m torn about who is going to win this thing. My head says Ohio State, but my heart says Indiana. I’m a David guy. Always have been. Fortunately, we don’t have to pick a side in this thing. In fact, there is a way that we can cheer on both teams, and that’s the way I’m going.

It’s called the over, and it’s the greatest bet in sports. Luckily, in this game, it seems like the play. I know the haters are going to say that both teams rank in the top seven in opponent points per game, but who have they really played? The only time Ohio State played a top-flight offense, they allowed 32 points to Oregon. Indiana still hasn’t seen a “real” offense.

At the end of the day, both teams sport a legit run defense which sounds bad for an over, but it’s not. What happens is, both teams are forced to go to the air, and in this case, we’re looking at two quarterbacks that can make things happen. If we’re being honest, we could be looking at a 60-burger out of these two teams. Feels right.

The Pick: Indiana/Ohio State Over 53.5 (+100) – ESPN

It’s Kevin Time

I know some people are going to be pissed, but this one is a player prop. Most of us live in prison states that simply don’t allow us to take this wager. I will have to drive to Connecticut to get this down, but I think it’s worth the ride. (If you can’t take the player prop, then consider the SMU Team Total Over.)

We’re talking about the most underrated quarterback in the country here, people.

Is Kevin Jennings one of the most underrated quarterback in the country?

I don’t even know how I learned about Kevin Jennings. I just did. This kid was just whipping the ball all over the field, and I was like, “Who the hell is that guy?” I’m glad I noticed him, though, because he’s been a pot of gold ever since. The thing is, we still haven’t really seen him go “full Kevin” yet.

The problem with Kevin is, SMU has been rolling people so we don’t always see everything Kevin can do. The coaches shut him down before things get too crazy. I think this Saturday could be different. Obviously, SMU is a 10-point favorite, but there is a legit chance they could get into a dogfight with Virginia. The same Virginia that is 122nd in the country in pass defense.

Kevin could get 250+ in the first half. Maybe even the first quarter.

As we head into the final stretch of the college football season, there are several intriguing matchups on tap for November 23, 2021. Whether you’re a seasoned bettor or just looking to add some excitement to your Saturday, here are some of the best college football bets to consider for this week.

1. Ohio State vs. Michigan State
One of the biggest games of the week features a showdown between two top-10 teams in Ohio State and Michigan State. The Buckeyes are favored by double digits in this matchup, but don’t count out the Spartans just yet. Michigan State has shown they can compete with the best teams in the country, and they have a potent offense led by quarterback Kenneth Walker III. This game could go either way, so consider taking the Spartans with the points.

2. Oklahoma vs. Iowa State
Another top-10 matchup to keep an eye on is Oklahoma vs. Iowa State. The Sooners have been inconsistent this season, but they still have one of the most explosive offenses in the country. Iowa State, on the other hand, has a stout defense that could give Oklahoma some trouble. This game could come down to the wire, so consider taking the underdog Cyclones with the points.

3. Oregon vs. Utah
In a battle of Pac-12 contenders, Oregon takes on Utah in what should be a competitive game. The Ducks are coming off a tough loss to Utah last week, but they still have a chance to win the conference if they can bounce back with a win on Saturday. Utah has been playing well lately, so this game could go either way. Consider taking the Utes with the points in what should be a close matchup.

4. Notre Dame vs. Georgia Tech
Notre Dame is coming off a big win over Virginia last week, and they will look to keep their momentum going against Georgia Tech on Saturday. The Fighting Irish are favored by double digits in this matchup, and they should be able to cover the spread against a struggling Yellow Jackets team. Look for Notre Dame to win big in this one.

5. Texas A&M vs. LSU
In an SEC showdown, Texas A&M takes on LSU in what should be a physical battle between two talented teams. The Aggies are favored in this matchup, but LSU has shown they can compete with anyone on any given day. This game could go either way, so consider taking the underdog Tigers with the points.

Overall, there are plenty of exciting college football games to bet on this week. Whether you’re looking for a marquee matchup or a potential upset, there are plenty of opportunities to make some money on Saturday. Just remember to do your research and bet responsibly. Good luck!
