Mike's CFB betting picks against the spread for Friday, November 29, 2024. Every college football game of Week 14 of the 2024 season picked against the spread.
We have a nice 14-game slate on Friday. While all of you are out shopping, I'll be home watching (and betting) on football trying to make some extra money for Christmas. Tis the season, after all. Tomorrow is still a monster, but we have a nice selection of games today. I'm not going to complain!
I, again, was disappointed in myself last week. Not only did I confidently pick against my team (I was trying to win you money ... I swear), but I missed all of my max bets. A moneyline bet on Kansas and Arizona State saved my bacon, but that doesn't do much for my points system. I don't get any more points for an outright win.
These picks are for entertainment purposes only. Don't bet more than you can afford. This is supposed to be for fun and excitement. I may be under .500 on the season, but I'm having a blast and am still up some real money.

CFB Betting Picks for Week 14 (11/29/24)
I will pick every college football game every week. It's not a top-5. Not a top 10. All of them. Big deal, right? Lots of people make picks. Well, I do them all against the spread. I take the odds of each game, average them out at all the Vegas casinos, and round to the nearest half. There will be no ties here. Ties are for the other (European) football.
Oregon State at (11) Boise State (-18.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 2
We get one last glimpse of the Smurf Turf (aside from the bowl game) during the 2024 season. Oregon State isn't going to like what it sees. Ashton Jeanty lives there, and he's Heisman hunting. Give me Boise.

Oklahoma State at (25) Colorado (-16.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 4
This is too many. The emergence of Maealiuaki Smith has made the Cowboys a much better team. More importantly, it has made Ollie Gordon II a force again. The Pokes might not win, but I'll be surprised if Colorado wins by double figures.
Minnesota at Wisconsin (-1.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 3
Wisconsin was mauled by a Nebraska team that is very similar to this Minnesota squad. Give me the Gophers.
Miami (OH) at Bowling Green (-2.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 2
The Falcons are inconsistent on defense and constantly blowing leads. The Redhawks have been a constant solid all season. I'll take Miami. I feel like I can trust it a little more.
Ball State at Ohio (-16.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 3
Justin Bowick is redshirting, presumably, so he can leave Muncie in the offseason. That's a major blow to the Cardinals. I'll take Ohio. It is running roughshod over the MAC this year.
Navy at East Carolina (-2.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 2
Blake Horvath might be out and Navy was struggling anyway. The Pirates just keep looking better since making the switch to Katin Houser. Give me ECU.
Mississippi State at (14) Mississippi (-25.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 3
Ole Miss has won three of the past four matchups against Mississippi State.
The Rebels are 2-3 at home in Oxford in the series in the past 10 years, winning in 2014 and 2020.#HailState #HottyToddy #MSSTvsMISS #EggBowlhttps://t.co/d7eA4RuVMW pic.twitter.com/fewj1VGvNF

There are so many things wrong with this line. Mississippi has only scored more than 28 points once since November. If you take the Rebels, you're assuming that the Bulldogs get shut out. I'm not taking that bet. I'll take Mississippi State.
Liberty (-2.5) at Sam Houston
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 2
I have a feeling about this one. Maybe it's just indigestion. Maybe, just maybe, Sam Houston wins outright. I'll take the Bearkats.
Utah State at Colorado State (-6.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 2
I like this better if Spencer Petras plays. Bryson Barnes had a great game last week and deserves the start, even if Petras is fine. It's taking away my confidence in the Rams, but the USU defense is a disaster. The Aggies can't stop the run. Give me the Rams.
Texas State (-1.5) at South Alabama
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 1
This is about what I expected. There's a good chance that this is the best game of the day. I have no interest in betting on it ... just in watching it. I'll take the USA at home.
Stanford at San Jose State (-2.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 4
It seems Vegas hasn't watched Stanford in the last two weeks. Give me the Cardinal outright!
Georgia Tech at (7) Georgia (-19.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 3
Wait’ll the Ramblin Wreck shocks the hell outta UGA… Mayhem! #THWg ? pic.twitter.com/FYYohH5p5Y

It's Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate. This is how they do rivalries down there in Jawja. This feels like too many. I'll take the Wreck.
Nebraska at Iowa (-3.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 3
Nebraska got the Wisconsin monkey off their backs last week. Can they do the same to Iowa? Probably not with Kaleb Johnson around. Give me Iowa.
Utah at Central Florida (-9.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 3
I hope UCF sends RJ Harvey to the NFL in style but beating a team like Utah by double figures seems unlikely for UCF. I'll take the Utes.
Come back tomorrow for the meat of the college football betting weekend. We're sending the regular season out with a bang!
