Best Bets in College Football's Week 12

Is sports betting frowned upon?

To me, it isn’t and within recent years, it’s drawing a bigger crowd and adding more excitement to the sports industry.

Try flipping through the sports section of a newspaper without seeing a game line. It’s just assumed now for a sports writer to include it on a game preview.

I heard a stat last week that blew me away. Only one percent of sportsbook aficionados win. Meaning 99 percent of winnings go to the bookie.

And you wonder why Vegas does so well.

While I’m no genius by any means, I do my research. I watch a lot of games. In my entry picks for Bleacher Report last week, I went 2-1.

Winning over 50 percent of your picks is success. It’s not as easy as it looks.

The Oregon Ducks shocked the books last week, dominating every fashion of their game against Stanford, winning 53-30 as a three-point underdog.

November 5 saw LSU enter Bryant-Denny Stadium as an underdog and leave three-point winners as a three-point underdog.

Which begs the question who this week's underdog pick is. Nebraska? Penn State? Kansas State?

While we may not see a matchup of two top-five teams, good games are on board.

Let’s get into my two favorite lines.
