College Football Week 12 Odds, Picks & Predictions: Middle Tennessee vs. Florida Atlantic
MTSU's offense is not efficient. But it is explosive. If it succeeds in getting the ball into space, and if the defense can't tackle in space - cough, Miami, cough - it's going to pile up yards.
FAU's defense ranks No. 100 in marginal explosiveness and No. 102 in tackle success rate. The Owls will struggle to corral MTSU in space.
On the other side of the ball, MTSU's defensive strength is against the run. MTSU doesn't have a good pass defense, but it doesn't give up long passes. FAU has a run-first offense. The Owls' passing offense isn't efficient, but it fishes for explosive plays off its running game. MTSU matches up well.
The Blue Raiders are a live home 'dog.
The pick: MTSU +6
What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
