Saturday’s college football Week 12 slate isn’t one that pops with huge, high-profile matchups.
We do get No. 7 USC vs. No. 16 UCLA and No. 10 Utah vs. No. 12 Oregon tonight in Pac-12 action, but the rest of Saturday’s schedule may not resonate with college football fans and recreational bettors.
However, that doesn’t mean that college football Week 12 is devoid of betting value.
In fact, the Action Network’s PRO college football picks and predictions are illuminating three very savvy bets across Saturday’s slate of games.
Let’s dive in.
College Football Picks for Week 12
*College football odds as of Saturday morning
TCU vs. Baylor Pick
12 p.m. ET | FOX
Baylor was available at +3 against TCU earlier this week, but pro bettors were quick to scoop up the Bears getting a field goal.
However, the Action Network’s College Football PRO Projections are still finding plenty of value with Baylor at +2.5.
Our betting model projects this spread at -0.9, providing a beefy 7% edge based on the widely-available +2.5.

Massachusetts vs. Texas A&M Pick
12 p.m. ET | ESPN+
The UMass vs. Texas A&M over/under looks very similar to the TCU vs. Baylor spread above.
After opening at 50.5, smart money has come in on the under, pushing this total down to a consensus of 46.5 (click here for live college football odds).
But even after the three-point line move, our PRO Projections still like a play on the under.
The Action Network’s betting model projects this number at 42.8, resulting in a 4.1% edge for those late to the Massachusetts vs. Texas A&M Under party.
PRO Report Pick: Under 46.5

Colorado State vs. Air Force Pick
9 p.m. ET | FS2
We’re back to spreads for Colorado State vs. Air Force, and in this instance, it’s our PRO Betting Systems doing all of the legwork.
Colorado State is a match for our Road Dogs Low Totals and Conference Matchup Heavily Bet strategies, which are 59% against the spread (ATS) and 58% ATS, respectively, since 2005.
This spread is a big one, but the Rams are in a historically-profitable spot for those willing to take the points and root for a close game tonight.
PRO Report Pick: Colorado State +21.5
