Happy Thanksgiving week, everyone! I hope you all are able to spend some time with family and fill those bellies with some delicious food! And, of course, get to watch some more football.

We have more MACtion this week followed up by a critical AAC showdown. Then on Friday, we’re treated to a whole feast of games! All that said, it’s a great week to be a football fan!

We’re here to deliver on some CFB best bets for Week 14, which I’ll uncover below.

 

 

 

CFB Picks, Predictions & Best Bets: 11/26-11/28

We’ve now hit back-to-back weeks of 4-1 records during these midweek CFB best bets, including plus money winners in both weeks too! I’ll only have three CFB picks for this edition though, as we’ll be supplying a completely separate article for the matchups on Friday.

Without further ado, here’s my official Toledo vs. Akron prediction, Memphis vs. Tulane prediction and Kent State vs. Buffalo prediction!

  • Season Record: 65-70-3

Toledo vs. Akron Prediction: Tuesday, November 26th

The MACtion game we’ll touch on in our CFB best bets writeup is the one taking place in Ohio. At 3-8, the Zips have obviously not met their personal expectations this season. However, they've actually played some pretty good ball as of late. Half of their wins have come in the last 4 games, and they’ve even covered the spread in 3 of those.

Even prior to this stretch, they had lost their 2 games leading up to it by a combined 17 points. This isn’t a team that’s been getting blown out by MAC schools week in and week out, and on Senior Day, they should have all the motivation they need.

On the other side, while Toledo would love to end their regular season with a win, they aren’t necessarily playing for all that much. They’ve already clinched a bowl berth with 7 wins but are also out of the MAC title race with 3 conference losses. Not to mention they’re coming off a loss to Ohio in which they looked really bad, plus they’ve struggled against conference foes on the road all season long.

The Rockets are 2-1 away from home SU against MAC competition but 1-2 ATS, and those 2 wins are by a combined 8 points. The Zips may certainly wind up losing this one in the end as they have tended to do all campaign, but the stats indicate that they should be able to keep it close, at the bare minimum.

 

 

 

Memphis vs. Tulane Prediction: Thursday, November 28th

Let’s skip ahead a couple days to round out our midweek version of Week 14 CFB best bets. This matchup has the potential to be a really fun one, as both offenses have the ability to put up points. Rather than focus on the spread or even the game total, I’m highlighting the total points prop for the Tigers here.

They’ve quietly been one of the country’s elite offensive attacks, spearheaded by their passing game. They rank 24th in the nation in passing yards per game at 273.1 and are 20th in scoring at 35.3 points per game. They’ve put up less than 27 points just once in conference play and have amassed 36+ on 4 separate occasions.

The Green Wave defense has played well recently, but you have to consider the offenses they’ve been playing. Their last 3 games have been against Charlotte, Temple and Navy – not exactly offensive powerhouses. 

When they matched up with North Texas before that, a team with similar offensive numbers to Memphis, they allowed 37 points. I’m not saying the Tigers will run wild here and score that many, but 3 touchdowns doesn’t seem like all that much for this offense.
