College football
Week 12 spread: LSU vs. Mississippi, Miami vs. Virginia Tech
Betting preview and point
spread on the Week 12 college football games LSU vs. Mississippi
and Miami vs. Virginia Tech.
The
first college football game from Week 12 we'll look into is the
No.1 LSU (9-1) visiting the Mississippi Rebels
(3-7) on Saturday. Will the Tigers be able to hold to the
No.1 spot? Absolutely, say the odds makers at
Bodog Sports, who have listed
the point spread on the LSU vs. Mississippi game at -19.5
points chalk the Tigers. Other than home field advantage, there
is nothing working for the Rebels this weekend. LSU scores on
average 39.3 points a game and allow only 16.7, while
Mississippi allows 28.4 and scores 20.3 points on average per
game. But these stats are about to be spoiled by the Tigers. LSU
should have no problem beating the last in the SEC West and
cover the -19.5 points spread at the same time. Betting odds on
the LSU are -1400 and +900 on Mississippi at
Bookmaker. LSU is 1-5-1 against
the spread in its last 7 games, but Mississippi is 5-1 ATS in
its last 6 games when playing LSU.
Also on Saturday Miami (5-5) will
visit No.10 Virginia Tech (8-2) for an all ACC game, in
which the Virginia Tech Hokies have a bigger stake, trailing
behind Virginia for the first spot. The bookies are confident
that Miami has no surprises in its bag and at
Bodog Sports the point
spread on the Miami vs. Virginia Tech game is currently
sitting at -17 points chalk the Hokies. Virginia Tech is 4-1
against the spread in its last 5 games and Miami is 1-5 ATS in
its last 6 games.
Offensively the Hurricanes edge on the
Hokies with 346.7 yards per game, but Virginia Tech is
converting the yards to points much better with 27.4 on average,
compared to Miami at 21.9 points scored per game. To make matter
worse, Miami will be without LBs Glenn Cook and Romeo Davis, RB
Charlie Jones and WR Jermaine McKenzie, with DT Josh Holmes, DE
Eric Moncor and CB Carlos Armour still questionable for Week 12
action. The Hokies have upgraded RBs Kenny Lewis and Branden Ore
to probable, as well as wide receiver Eddie Royal. QB Sean
Glennon is still questionable after a concussion and so is LB
Vince Hall with wrist injury.
