          UAB @ RICE | 12/12 | 1:00 PM EST
          RICE +7.5
          ANALYSIS: My model says the Owls cover nearly 60 percent of the time, so you're getting good value at this number. Rice is wrapping up its regular-season schedule having won two of its previous three games, including a 20-0 triumph over then-No. 21 Marshall last Saturday. UAB has followed a three-game winning streak with back-to-back losses but hasn't played since suffering a double-overtime loss to Louisiana Tech on Oct. 31. Expect there to be some rust, allowing Rice to stay close and possibly pull off the upset.

              Stanford Steve and The Bear: Week 15 college football picks, bets, nuggets

              College football is in full swing in 2020, and it's unlike any season we have had before. One thing is familiar, though: "Stanford Steve" Coughlin and Chris "The Bear" Fallica breaking down games as only they can, offering their top bets, nuggets and totals worth wagering on. How will the guys fare this week?
              Here is your guide to Week 15 of the season from the two college football analysts. (Games postponed or canceled because of COVID-19 have been removed.)
              Records

              Stanford Steve (1-2 last week, 24-15 overall)
              The Bear (2-1, 22-18)

              The plays


              No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide (-32, 68) at Arkansas Razorbacks

              Stanford Steve: I was so close to giving the over between 'Bama and LSU last week, but I just didn't trust what I saw from LSU on the offensive side the previous week at Texas A&M. This week, coach Sam Pittman and Kendal Briles, I assume, will have a better game plan and a more "interested" group to try to attack what might be the most improved unit in the sport since the start of the season: the Alabama defense. On the other side, what else can you say about the Mac Jones aerial assault? The guy has been incredible, throwing for another four TDs and 380-plus yards while playing only one snap in the fourth quarter. We'll take the over.
              Pick: Over 68 (Alabama 51, Arkansas 20)

              No. 15 USC Trojans (-3, 62) at UCLA Bruins

              The Bear: Recency bias is going to play a big role here. People saw and remember SC's brilliant passing performance Sunday vs. Washington State. I think SC will be a very public play, as people know the Trojans will head to the Pac-12 title game with a win. But SC's inability to run the ball last week worries me. UCLA is much improved at the line of scrimmage and could very easily be undefeated. The home 'dog looks like the right side to me.
              Pick: UCLA +3

              No. 20 Texas Longhorns (-29.5, 61) at Kansas Jayhawks

              Stanford Steve: You know the drill here: Go against the Jayhawks. Hook 'em.
              Pick: Texas -29.5 (Texas 52, Kansas 20)

              Auburn Tigers (-6.5, 49) at Mississippi State Bulldogs

              The Bear: You have to wonder what's left in the Tigers' tank after a trying past two weeks in which they got drilled by No. 1 Alabama and very easily could have upset No. 5 Texas A&M, with a dropped fourth-quarter INT-turned-TD a huge turning point. Now the Tigers have to head to Starkville, where State has played well the previous two times out, giving Georgia everything it could handle and against Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl. There was a point when it looked like the Bulldogs' season could head south, but they have continued competing. I'll take the home underdog here, as the MSU defense will likely give "road" Bo Nix some problems.
              Pick: Mississippi State +6.5

              Stanford Cardinal (-3, 52.5) at Oregon State Beavers

              Stanford Steve: Can the self-proclaimed "Road Dogs" continue their winning ways on the road while still not being able to go home and sleep in their own beds? It will be easier said than done, as a battle-tested Beavers squad returns home after a tough loss to the Utes without their starting QB or RB last week in Salt Lake City. All signs point to them getting star RB Jermar Jefferson back after COVID-19 protocol. We'll take the home underdog to cover the points in a close game.
              Pick: Oregon State +3 (Stanford 27, Oregon State 26)
              The Bear: Stanford goes from the role of double-digit dog outright winner to road favorite -- and that's a dangerous proposition. The Cardinal have been on the road for a while now and go to Corvallis, where Oregon State beat Oregon and Cal this season. Give the Beavers credit for battling back while short-handed last week in Salt Lake City, and with Jermar Jefferson cleared to play this week, I like Oregon State at home to snap that 10-game losing streak to the Cardinal. Although home field is muted here, Reser Stadium has been a tricky spot for Stanford, as the past two trips have been decided by a combined four points.
              Pick: Oregon State +3

              Arizona State Sun Devils (-11, 55) at Arizona Wildcats

              Stanford Steve: I am doing something that I know I shouldn't be doing when it comes to the Territorial Cup. I am taking the favorite and giving the points. I know it's wrong, and I don't care. The Wildcats have lost 11 in a row as a program and have scored 14 and 13, respectively, in their past two games. I will take Herm and the boys to get their first win and cover the double digits.
              Pick: Arizona State -11 (Arizona State 38, Arizona 22)

              Nevada Wolf Pack at San José State Spartans (-2.5, 58.5)

              Stanford Steve: I can't let my favorite story of the year end without giving them as a pick. What Brent Brennan and the Spartans have done this season is easily my favorite thing to happen in the sport, which started with preseason camp at Humboldt State. For the second straight week, SJSU is playing a home game not at its home field. Last week, the Spartans played a home game at Hawaii, and this week they play a home game at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas. No matter what has been in the way, this team has overcome it, and the defense has been really impressive, giving up only 17 points per game on average. This will be a very well played game, but we'll take the favorite and lay the points.
              Pick: San José State -2.5 (San Jose State 31, Nevada 24)
              The Bear's underdogs to play on the money line, in round robins and parlays

              UCLA +130
              Mississippi State +205
              Wyoming +340
              Oregon State +125
              Nevada +125
              Bear Bytes

              No. 17 North Carolina Tar Heels at No. 10 Miami Hurricanes (-3, 67.5)
              • Miami is 5-2 ATS as a favorite this season. The Canes were 3-7 in their previous 10 games as favorites under Manny Diaz.
              No. 11 Oklahoma Sooners (-14, 56.5) at West Virginia Mountaineers
              • Oklahoma is 5-0-1 ATS in the past six meetings and has averaged 52.5 PPG in those games.
              No. 15 USC (-3, 62) at UCLA
              • This marks the 18th time in the past 19 years that USC is favored over UCLA; 2014 was the lone exception.
              Wisconsin Badgers (-1, 41.5) at No. 16 Iowa Hawkeyes
              • This would be the first time since 2010 that Iowa is favored over Wisconsin. The Badgers upset the Hawkeyes 31-30 at Kinnick that year.
              Navy Midshipmen at Army Black Knights (-7, 38)
              • In the past 12 games between academies, underdogs are 11-1 ATS and have won seven outright.
              Tennessee Volunteers (-15, 50) at Vanderbilt Commodores
              • Vanderbilt has covered seven of the past eight meetings and won five of the eight outright. Each of the past five meetings has been decided by double digits.

                Week 15 college football best bets: Who has the edge in USC-UCLA?

                Doug Kezirian (2-1 last week, 31-23 overall), Bill Connelly (1-2, 16-19), Preston Johnson (1-1, 23-18), David M. Hale (0-2, 15-19) and Seth Walder (0-1, 5-8) will provide their top plays across the college football landscape.
                Here are their best bets for Week 15 of the college football season.
                Note: Lines from Caesars Sportsbook by William Hill as of Wednesday (unless otherwise indicated).


                No. 9 Georgia Bulldogs at No. 25 Missouri Tigers (+13, 53.5), Noon ET (on SEC Network)

                Johnson: This one is short and simple. I don't think the market has adjusted for UGA's offensive explosion since JT Daniels took over under center. The Bulldogs have upside that we haven't seen since Kirby Smart took over. The Tigers just gave up 48 to Arkansas and dropped a 50-ball themselves. This Bulldogs defense is tough, but I anticipate this Eliah Drinkwitz offense to put up some points. My projection is 56.6, and anything under 54 is a worthwhile bet to the over.
                Pick: Over 53.5

                No. 11 Oklahoma Sooners at West Virginia Mountaineers (+14, 56.5), Noon ET (on ABC)

                Johnson: Fun facts you probably didn't know: both of these defenses rank top 13 in EPA this season. They are both top 11 in success rate. And this doesn't even account for the strength of the offenses they have faced week in and week out in the Big 12. This is the best Sooners defense Lincoln Riley has had. Year No. 2 under defensive coordinator Alex Grinch has been a huge step in the right direction. Unfortunately for Riley, it's also the least efficient offense he has fielded in quite some time (ranking outside the top 25 in both EPA and success rate). My personal projection is 53.5, and I wouldn't play this any lower than 56.5, but it still has value in the current market.
                Pick: Under 56.5

                Utah Utes at No. 21 Colorado Buffaloes (-2, 49), Noon ET (on FOX)

                Connelly: SP+ sees Utah as a rather unfortunate team -- the Utes' postgame win expectancy for their loss to Washington was 61%, and their tight win over Oregon State was 96%. The scoring margin in these two games should have been about +19, but instead it was +3. Utah is currently 21st in SP+.
                Unbeaten, ranked Colorado is 53rd in SP+. The Buffaloes have done a great job of making key late plays -- blowing big leads against UCLA and Stanford but holding on, then easing ahead for wins of 10 and 11 points against San Diego State and Arizona. But of those opponents, only UCLA ranks higher than 57th. Utah is the best team Colorado has played. SP+ says Utah by 6.2, and it's not going to surprise me at all if Utah wins.
                Pick: Utah +2
                Hale: Karl Dorrell has done a fine job in his first season at Colorado, but it feels a little like smoke and mirrors, playing four relatively close games against four mediocre at best teams. Utah, meanwhile, struggled to find its footing at the start -- failing to even get on the field until Nov. 21 and flip-flopping QBs along the way. Last week, however, the offense seemed to figure some things out, and the defense had been consistently good, with five picks through three games. This spread seems like an overreaction to some fluky games. I see Utah trending in the right direction and Colorado due for a setback.
                Pick: Utah +2

                Minnesota Golden Gophers at Nebraska Cornhuskers (-10.5, 59), Noon ET

                Johnson: Minnesota's season -- along with a majority of the teams in the Big Ten -- has been strange. At the start, the Gophers dealt with a number of positive COVID-19 tests and were missing players from games and practices for multiple weeks. The defense suffered the most, and it's worth noting that they do rank near the bottom of the country on that side of the ball. Their offense, however, ranks 14th in the country in success rate. For comparison's sake, the Cornhuskers rank 38th. Nebraska's defense hasn't been anything special either, ranking outside the top 80 in multiple efficiency metrics. The Gophers will have had extra rest and preparation time heading into this matchup, and PJ Fleck is certainly a coach that I can count on in that regard. I can't get close to double-digits with this spread. My projection comes in closer to +7, so I have to take the points.
                Pick: Minnesota +10.5

                Miami (OH) RedHawks (-24, 49.5) at Bowling Green Falcons, Noon ET (on ESPN3)

                Hale: There isn't a line high enough that you shouldn't fade Bowling Green. Akron just beat Bowling Green by 28, and Akron is, by any metric, horrible. That the RedHawks have a modicum of talent only makes this more obvious. Just take the money and thank the football gods that someone thought Scot Leoffler and Brian Van Gorder were the right mix to lead this program.
                Pick: Miami (OH) -24

                No. 13 Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (-14.5, 51.5) at Troy Trojans, 3 p.m. ET (on ESPN+)

                Kezirian: I am fading the Chants off that big win over BYU. It's just a lot to ask for them to keep churning out convincing wins. As for this approach, I think it's more likely I go 2-0 ATS than 0-2 ATS. I hope.
                Pick: Troy +7 (first half)

                Boise State Broncos (-11.5, 47.5) at Wyoming Cowboys, 6 p.m. ET (on CBSSN)

                Kezirian: I imagine Wyoming will be determined to play a strong game after losing to winless New Mexico, which was relegated to a fifth-string quarterback. That's as bad of a loss as a team can have. However, Boise State enters this game with plenty at stake. The Broncos control their own destiny and will qualify for the Mountain West championship game with a victory. Sometimes in these situations we've seen teams play tight and even suffer an upset. However, the Broncos have plenty of experience playing with these types of stakes, and I trust them to handle their business. The Cowboys are a decent team by Group of 5 standards, but they are overmatched here.
                Pick: Boise State -11.5

                North Texas Mean Green (-10.5, 62.5) at UTEP Miners, 6 p.m. ET (on ESPN3)

                Kezirian: This game is not exactly a marquee showdown, but all tickets cash the same. This analysis starts with North Texas, which is among the nation's worst teams. In six of their last seven games, the Mean Green have allowed at least 35 points. UTEP is nearly as bad, allowing 6.1 yards per play (95th in FBS). To complicate matters, North Texas ranks 20th in FBS in number of plays per game. That fast pace just lends itself to a track meet.
                Pick: Over 62.5

                LSU Tigers at No. 6 Florida Gators (-23.5, 67.5), 7 p.m. ET (on ESPN)

                Johnson: LSU has made strides on both sides of the ball since the horrific start to its 2020 season. Florida deserves the market respect it is getting, but not to this extent. I can't even get my projection any higher than +19 giving every weighted in-season variable and benefit of the doubt to the Gators. Implementing my priors -- my preseason assessment of teams entering the season -- my projection in this matchup is even lower. The talk of the town is Florida-Alabama already in the SEC championship game, and while I never anticipate the Gators' coaches and players to be looking ahead, it certainly can't hurt our side on an already inflated number. Give me the points.
                Pick: LSU +23.5

                Louisiana Tech Bulldogs at TCU Horned Frogs (-21.5, 52.5), 7 p.m. ET (on FS1)

                Connelly: It has been a "two steps forward, one step back" kind of season for TCU. The Horned Frogs beat Texas, then lost to Kansas State. They beat Baylor and Texas Tech by a combined 26 points, then got thumped by West Virginia. They've beaten Kansas and Oklahoma State the past two weeks, but can they finish with another strong performance?
                They'll probably beat Louisiana Tech, strong performance or not. But the Bulldogs' defense looked good in last week's win over North Texas, their first game in more than a month, and, well, 21.5 is a lot of points. SP+ projects more of a 14-point win for TCU, which offers a decent amount of cushion, especially considering neither team works at a super-fast tempo.
                Pick: Louisiana Tech +21.5
                Kedon Slovis and USC are mild favorites at UCLA on Saturday. Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports
                No. 15 USC Trojans (-2.5, 62) at UCLA Bruins, 7:30 p.m. ET (on ABC)

                Kezirian: My initial reaction to this matchup is over the total, and I do not see a reason to change that stance. USC's offense has looked fairly impressive this year. It has hit some slow stretches, but I think that was more rust and a lopsided score dictating the intensity. This rivalry game will bring out the Trojans' best, and UCLA's poor defense will also cooperate. The Bruins have looked sharper in their past two games, but I think that is more attributed to the pedestrian offenses of Arizona and Arizona State. Colorado and Oregon both lit up UCLA, and I expect USC to do the same.
                Pick: Over 62
                Johnson: Chip Kelly has made strides with this UCLA team this season and nearly upset Oregon with backup quarterback Chase Griffin, but the Ducks since have lost outright to the Beavers and Bears. The Bruins' win over Cal early in the season on a mid-week scheduled Sunday game after Cal didn't get to practice prior in full for two weeks is misleading. I'm not buying what the current market is selling in regard to UCLA football. USC is still far and away the better team, and I project the Trojans to win by three or more points 57% of the time. That's good enough for me to beat the -110 on a Trojans air raid style offense that is by far the most effective and dangerous of any UCLA has seen to date. I'm laying it under a field goal.
                Pick: USC -2.5

                Virginia Cavaliers at Virginia Tech Hokies (-2.5, 62), 8 p.m. ET (on ACC Network)

                Stream Bet

                Hale: The simple narrative here is that Virginia Tech has fallen off a cliff (lost five of six) and Justin Fuente is on his way out. Both those things may be true, but the story is more complex. Three of the Hokies' losses were by a touchdown or less. Last week's game against Clemson was far closer than the 45-10 final score indicates, as the Hokies were a yard away from tying the game up at the half and only a flurry of turnovers swung the score late. The underlying stats tell you something, too. Virginia Tech has the fifth-most explosive offense in the country. Virginia's defense ranks 120th in allowing explosive plays.
                Despite the records, ESPN's FPI has the Hokies ranked 21 spots ahead of the Cavaliers. And while it's not clear how many players want Fuente back next year, it sure seems like a now-or-never game for Virginia Tech. Meanwhile, the Virginia coaches and players were pretty blunt this week in discussing their mixed feelings about going to a bowl versus heading home for the holidays during the pandemic. It all adds up to not just a game Virginia Tech must win, but one that the numbers suggest it should win, by a touchdown or more.
                Pick: Virginia Tech -2.5

                Utah State Aggies at Colorado State Rams (-13.5, 51.5), 9:30 p.m. ET (on CBSSN)

                Kezirian: I have certainly criticized Colorado State a few times in this space, but everything is relative. The Rams are significantly better than Utah State. The Aggies have switched quarterbacks and head coaches, which has led to some improved play, but they still should not be able to keep this game within two touchdowns. Utah State allows 6.3 yards per play, which ranks 105th in FBS. Meanwhile, the Rams are only allowing 4.6 yards per play, and that ranks 11th. Now, the quality of an opponent matters, but both teams have only faced a Mountain West schedule.
                CSU has three losses, and two of them are understandable: Boise State and San Diego State on the road. The loss to Fresno State is somewhat misleading because Steve Adazio had yet to realize Patrick O'Brien should be his starting QB. Utah State's lone win came against New Mexico, which currently only has one win to date. That was also the lone game the Aggies have covered.
                Pick: Colorado State -7 (first half), Colorado State -13.5

                San Diego State Aztecs at No. 18 BYU Cougars (-16.5, 49), 10 p.m. ET (on ESPN2)

                Kezirian: I am fading both BYU and Coastal Carolina, coming off that epic game with such significant implications. I expect both teams to be a bit flat this weekend. I also like this San Diego State squad, although the offense occasionally gets stuck in a rut. The defense is the only unit in the country allowing less than four yards per play. That is the program's calling card, but Cougars quarterback Zach Wilson will certainly test them. So that's why I am going to isolate a first-half play. I think San Diego State can start strong and keep this within the number before Wilson and the offense wake up.
                Pick: SDSU +8.5 (first half)

                Stanford Cardinal (-3, 52.5) at Oregon State Beavers, 10:30 p.m. ET (on ESPNU)

                Johnson: The 30-24 final score in the Oregon State-Utah game last week was misleading. The Beavers only managed to score 10 points before the final two drives of the game against a Utes prevent defense. Backup quarterback Chance Nolan made his first start after Tristan Gebbia was injured for the season in their win over Oregon. He wasn't very good. Stanford is hitting stride after a slow start to its unique 2020 season with wins over Cal and Washington. The fact that the Cardinal are only -3 here at Oregon State against the backup quarterback is disrespectful to the program and Davis Mills (44-of-62 passing and 461 yards in those two wins). Even in their three-point loss to Colorado, they put up 32 points on 327 yards from Mills through the air. He hasn't thrown an INT yet this season. I make this point spread -6.5 and am happy to lay the -3.
                Pick: Stanford -3

                California Golden Bears (-2.5, 54) at Washington State Cougars, 10:30 p.m. ET (on FS1)

                Connelly: Cal looked between below average and bad in its first three games and then pulled off one of the least likely wins of the season, beating Oregon 21-17 despite a postgame win expectancy of 6%. (Postgame win expectancy takes all the key predictive stats a given game produced, throws them into the air, and says, "Team A could have expected to win this game X% of the time.") The Bears fell in SP+ even after pulling this big upset.
                Washington State, meanwhile, looked pretty competitive in its first two games, unexpectedly had two weeks off, then got blitzed by USC in a hailstorm of short fields and turnovers. The Cougars gave up 28 first-quarter points, but 21 came off short fields stemming from a bad punt and two interceptions. The Cougars fought USC to a draw the rest of the game. Looking at the teams' full-season performances, Washington State should be favored by three or four points.
                Pick: Washington State +2.5

                UNLV Rebels at Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors (-20, 57), 11 p.m. ET

                Kezirian: UNLV has yet to win or cover a game this season, and I do not see how that streak stops in the finale after traveling to Hawai'i and facing a Rainbow Warriors squad coming off a loss. This UNLV defense is among the worst I have ever watched. Statistically, the Rebels rank fourth-worst in yards allowed per play. Every time I watch the Rebels, defensive backs are getting beat easily or committing horrendous penalties. Hawai'i dual-threat QB Chevan Cordeiro should have a field day. The UNLV offense has not fared much better, having yet to find a productive QB. The Rebels have only topped 20 points one time this year. This might be my top play on the card.

                  NCAAF Pick: Colorado Buffaloes -2

                  ime: Saturday, December 12, 12:05 PM EST
                  Odds: Colorado -2, O/U 49

                  The 21st ranked Colorado Buffaloes (4-0) host the Utah Utes (1-2) for an early Pac 12 Conference battle on Folsom Field in Boulder, CO at 12:05 pm EST. Utah is coming off a 30-24 home victory over Oregon State for its first win of the season and Colorado beat Arizona on the road by a score of 24-13 and covering the -9.5 point spread. The Buffaloes are -2 point home favorites this weekend but the Utes have covered the spread in four straight matchups vs. Colorado.

                  After a successful campaign in 2019, the Utes have faced their share of challenges this season with COVID but they finally picked up their first win on the season over the Oregon State Beavers. Utah lost their starting quarterback Cameron Rising in their first game to a season-ending injury. Rising's replacement Jake Bentley has played well and has thrown for 489 yards with three touchdowns alongside four interceptions. While this offense only scores 22.7 PPG they are learning to lean on the rushing attack which averages 185 yards per game. RB Ty Jordan rushed for 167 yards and a touchdown to lead the team last week but they will face a tough challenge vs. a Buffaloe's defense which allows 148 rushing yards per game and 24.3 points per game. Utah's defense has played well allowing 27 points but only 104.7 rushing yards per game.

                  Colorado is off to a fantastic start behind an offense that averages 31.8 PPG and a top 10 rushing attack that averages 245.5 yards per game. The Buffalos score points on the ground and sophomore running back Jarek Broussard leads the way with 733 yards and three touchdowns. Broussard rushed for 301 yards on 25 attempts last week against Arizona. Broussard will pose a very tough challenge for this Utes defense as the game wears on. Colorado's defense has been steady allowing 24.3 PPG and have stepped up at times this season with key stops which have paved the way to an undefeated record.

                  Utah has won three straight games over the Buffaloes and 4 out of the last 5. This is a different Colorado team and a different Utah team that hasn't really had a chance to develop this season due to setbacks. Colorado keeps winning and the Utes have too many unknowns that lead to inconsistent play. The Buffaloes will run the football effectively and wear down the Utes defense en route to a Colorado win. Look for the Buffaloes to cover the -2 point spread and capture at least a share of the Pac 12 South with a victory on Saturday.

                      Saturday card has an Executive Level TIER 1 Total and Last Home game Play of the Year along with a TOP SEC Conf. Play and a Powerful Hoops card with a Platinum Supreme move. Comp play below.

                      The College football comp play is on Houston at 3:30 eastern. Line moving up past 5 here. At the opening line of -2.5 this would have been a unit rated play. That Said the Cougars need this game and fit a nice 22-3 system that dates to 1981. Houston can be over .500 and bowl eligible with a win and Memphis has failed to cover 6 of 7 as a dog and 13 of 16 in December the past few seasons. Look for Houston to get the cover. On Saturday a huge card is up with a TIER Executive Level CFB Total, the Last Home Game Play of the Year, and a big SEC Afternoon play. In College hoops we have a Platinum Supreme move and a big 5* 100% Side at noon. See us on facebook to jump on. For the College football comp play. Go with Houston. Rob V- GC Sports

                              Utah State’s players voted not to play at Colorado State Saturday because of comments they said were made by USU president Noelle Cockett on Tuesday call about her concerns w/interim coach Frank Maile’s religious & cultural backgrounds
