College Football Picks for Saturday
*Odds as of Wednesday morning
Toledo vs. Ohio Pick
Dec. 3 | 12 p.m. ET | ESPN
Toledo vs. Ohio may not be the sexiest game of the weekend, but it sure has caught the eyes of professional bettors.
On Sunday afternoon, Ohio was available as a 4.5-point underdog at DraftKings, but sharps have slammed that number down to a consensus of +1.5 across the market, with a couple of +2s available as well.
There’s still plenty of time for Toledo buyback to show up at the discounted price, but there’s no denying that the early action has been all sharp and all Ohio.
Pick: Ohio +2

Coastal Carolina vs. Troy Pick
Dec. 3 | 3:30 p.m. ET | ESPN
Coastal Carolina vs. Troy is similar to Toledo vs. Ohio above, except in this instance it’s the favorite attracting respected money.
The Trojans initially hit the market at -6.5 before smart money rocketed this spread through the key number of -7 and up to -8.5 as of the time of writing.
It’ll be interesting to monitor whether there is Coastal Carolina money out there or if this number continues its march to double digits.
Pick: Troy -8.5

LSU vs. Georgia Pick
Dec. 3 | 4 p.m. ET | CBS
Georgia is a huge favorite over LSU, but the sharpest SEC Championship Game bet appears to be on the over/under.
The LSU vs. Georgia total opened at 48.5 and the over has already been steamed on five separate occasions thus far, explaining why this number now sits between 50.5 and 51.5, depending on the shop.
In fact, FanDuel is the lone sportsbook still at 50.5, so be sure to grab the over there if tailing the pros on LSU vs. Georgia.
Pick: Over 50.5 |
