Thanksgiving weekend will offer some of college football’s most intense rivalries.
After going 3-1 on last week’s picks, I’m looking to keep the momentum going.
Let’s dive into a few of my college football Week 14 predictions.
College Football Week 14 Predictions
All college football odds used for these Week 14 best bets are current as of Wednesday, Nov. 26, and courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
Georgia vs Georgia Tech Best Bet: Georgia -14 (-108)
Georgia Tech is pesky, but its defense has cratered. It gave up 42 points to Pittsburgh last week and has allowed 124 points over the last three games, two of them losses.
Georgia, on the other hand, may be playing its best ball of the season. The Bulldogs can clinch a spot in the SEC title game with an Alabama loss or a Texas A&M loss.
I’m laying the points with Georgia as my NCAAF pick of the day.
Texas A&M vs Texas Best Bet: Texas +2.5 (-112)
Unbeaten Texas A&M is a lock for the College Football Playoff, but it still needs a win in Austin to clinch a spot in the SEC title game.
That could be a difficult task against Texas, which has been dominant at home. On top of that, Arch Manning has played much better of late. College football’s most famous nephew has thrown 11 touchdowns compared to only two interceptions over his last four games.
The Aggies are the better team, but look for the Longhorns to keep this close and possibly play spoiler. I’m taking Texas +2.5 as one of my best college football bets today.
Vanderbilt vs Tennessee Best Bet: Tennessee -3 (-105)
Tennessee owns a six-game win streak over its in-state rival and has not lost at home to Vanderbilt since 2017.
While the Volunteers’ 8-3 record may seem underwhelming, all of their losses have come to teams in the top 10 of the CFP rankings: No. 4 Georgia, No. 10 Alabama, and No. 8 Oklahoma.
Vanderbilt has covered in five of its last six games and is 8-2-1 ATS this season, but I expect its struggles at Neyland Stadium to continue.

Ohio State vs Michigan Best Bet: Michigan +10 (-108)
Michigan is 5-0 at the Big House, and with another victory over Ohio State, it should get the marquee result it needs to sneak back into the CFP.
The top-ranked Buckeyes come equipped with the country’s No. 1 defense, but four straight wins in this series give the Wolverines the mental edge they need to keep this reasonably close.
For my college gameday picks, I’m taking Michigan to stay within 10 points and cover.
UCLA vs USC Best Bet: USC -22.5 (-105)
UCLA has dropped four straight and could be without quarterback Nico Iamaleava, who left last week’s loss to Washington with an apparent neck injury.
That should spell trouble against USC, which will look to put forth its best effort with several weeks off before bowl season.
This is a big number, but it’s warranted considering how poorly the Bruins have played defensively over the last month.
