Jake’s Gambling Pit: Week 13

YTD: 41-33-1

I missed two bets completely but nailed two others on the head. Not a good day but we are still up overall with +6.4 Units. 

Colorado at Kansas +2.5 O/U 59.5

Colorado has been playing great football and is in a good position to make the Big 12 Championship. Lance Leipold’s Jayhawks started the year 2-6 with 5 games coming by 1 score but has now won two games in a row against two Big 12 championship contenders. Kansas seems to be hitting their stride, but it still seems off that they are only 2.5 point underdogs against 16th-ranked Colorado. Expect both offenses to score points, and if you are feeling extra frisky take the Jayhawks at home.

Kansas +2.5 Over 59.5

Penn State at Minnesota +11.5 O/U 45

The Nittany Lions have their playoff route carved up for them, they just have to handle the last two games of the year against less talented teams. The Gophers aren’t just any team. They suffered a few tough losses earlier in the year, and are a few plays away from being 8-2. The Gophers have displayed a stingy defense and Max Brosmer has been a huge addition at QB to fix their passing attack. PJ Fleck will have his team ready to play coming off of a bye week and in front of a hostile Minneapolis crowd. 

Minnesota +11.5

BYU at Arizona State -3 O/U 48.5

The Cougars have been playing with fire all year and finally got burned last week against Kansas. Arizona State has been quietly improving but has finally burst onto the Big 12 Championship scene. Initially, I like Arizona State at home but the safe bet is the under. Both teams are going to run the football, shortening the game.

Under 48.5
