College Football Week 12 Odds, Picks & Predictions: Vanderbilt vs. Florida
The Gators have it in an even more dangerous spot. They're in an early kick on the road against a longtime conference doormat. But Vanderbilt has very quietly improved this season.
The Commodores are not only catching over two touchdowns at home here, but they will have one huge on-field matchup going for them: Their rushing offense - led by future NFL running back Ray Davis - will get little resistance from Florida's terrible run defense. Davis has rushed for 297 over the last two games and is looking to go out with a bang.
Florida has already achieved bowl eligibility at 6-4. Sitting at 4-6, Vanderbilt still has a shot to reach its first bowl since 2018. My system says we're getting four points of line value in a vacuum and ancillary factors suggest there's more value here than that. Expect a more spirited game than pundits anticipate.
The pick: Vanderbilt +14.5
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.
