Troy Defense Keeps Them In Vs. JMU
This is far too large of a spread on sportsbooks with CFB props for this caliber of a game. Yes, JMU’s offense leads the Sun Belt with 37.8 ppg and has a +12.6 scoring margin over Troy, but the Trojans' defense needs to be respected.
Troy allows 23.9 ppg to opponents this season, which is the third lowest in the conference. They are 8-4 against the spread this season with a +2-point average cover margin. They are 5-2 ATS when playing as an underdog as well, with a +4.1 cover margin.
Creel Lights Up Owls Secondary
Caden Creel and Jax. State gets a juicy matchup against a Kennesaw State defense that allows the second-most total offensive yards to opponents this season at 411.3, including 238.8 pass yards.
Going into this one, Kennesaw State has allowed their last two opposing QBs to throw for well over 159.5 passing yards. On the contrary, Creel himself has gone over this mark in each of his last two games.
Mean Green, Green Wave Put On Scoring Clinic
This could be the highest scoring team of all other conference championship games with the 66.5-point total on Texas CFB betting sites the highest of them all.
This is a hard under to fade with North Texas leading the AAC at 46.8 ppg with Tulane adding another 28.7 ppg for a whopping 75.5 ppg total between the two. The Mean Green should pace this one as they have all season, which has led to them going 903 against the over this season.
Dylan Riley Takes Advantage Of Rebels' Weak Run Defense
This is a great spot for some plus money on Dylan Riley to cross the 100-yard mark. He’s done so five times this season. That includes a career high, 201-yard outing against UNLV earlier this season.
The Rebels have the second worst run defense in the Mountain West this season, allowing 175.5 rush yards per game.
Defensive Minded MACtion Championship
This matchup has the under written all over it despite the 43.5-point total being the lowest of all conference championship games. These are two of the top three defenses in the MAC this season, allowing a combined 40.6 ppg this season.
They played earlier in the season, which ended with Miami (Oh.) winning 26-17 and hitting the under against a 43.5-point total.
Texas Tech Keeps On Torturing BYU
Don’t fall for the trap on BYU here, Texas Tech should have their way with the Cougars here, as they did in their first meeting this season, where they won 29-7.
The Red Raiders rank ahead of BYU in both offense and defense this season. Texas Tech has a +9.2 scoring advantage on offense and a +6.5 ppg allowed advantage on defense.
Branch’s Struggles Continue In SEC Championship
Georgia college football sportsbooks have this line too high for Branch’s receiving yard total, given his recent struggles in his last two games and against Alabama earlier in the year.
Branch is going into this one having stayed under 59.5 yards in his last three games. Against Alabama in Week 5, he was held to just three receptions for 35 yards. The Crimson Tide also have the number one ranked passing defense in the SEC, allowing just 157.8 passing/receiving yards per game.
Chandler Morris Makes Statement Vs. Duke
To put it lightly, Chandler Morris is going to light up this Duke secondary, and there is no reason that his passing yard total should be set anywhere under 250. Duke has a bottom five secondary in the ACC this year, allowing 273.3 pass yards per game. Morris faced Duke in their second to last game of the year, where he went for 316 yards.
Duke has allowed four of the last five opposing QBs to throw for over 234.5 pass yards this season.
Buckeyes, Hoosiers Put On Defensive Battle
In the final conference title game, we’re heavily leaning on Ohio State and Indiana to stay under their point totals. These are the number one and two offenses in college football this season, allowing just 18.7 combined ppg to opponents this season.
Both of them have been trending under this season, with Indiana going 2-1, staying under in their last three games, and 8-4 going under all season.
