The total nudged from 47.5 to 47 Tuesday, but Degnon said their's nothing significant in that market yet.

UPDATE 5 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Colorado (7-2 SU and ATS) is not only one of the nation's best spread-covering outfits, but legitimately could get into the College Football Playoff.

In Week 11, the Buffaloes spotted Texas Tech a 13-0 first-quarter lead, then scored 34 of the next 41 points en route to a 41-21 victory. Coach Prime & Co. cashed as 4.5-point road favorites, and the Buffs are 6-1 SU/7-0 ATS in their last seven games.

Utah was among the preseason Big 12 favorites. But the loss of QB Cam Rising (ankle) and a five-game losing skid ended all that talk. Still, in Week 11, the Utes (4-5 SU/3-6 ATS) gave visiting BYU a good fight before losing 23-22 on a final-seconds field goal.

Utah covered as a 3-point home underdog, ending a 1-6 ATS slide.

TwinSpires Sportsbook opened Colorado -9.5 and made a stop at -10 on the way to -10.5 (-104). The Buffaloes are netting 67% of early spread tickets/75% of early spread money in the college football odds Week 12 market.

"The Buffs have been ATS-covering machines, and the public is lining up to back them again. Utah will be a big need for us," TwinSpires director of retail sports Zachary Lucas said.

The total dipped from 47.5 to 46.5, with 60% of tickets on the Over/55% of money on the Under early on.

That ended a 1-3 ATS hiccup for Texas.

Arkansas is a big home underdog this week, but has a huge home upset of Tennessee to its credit this season, 19-14 in Week 5. The Razorbacks (5-4 SU/6-3 ATS) had a bye in Week 11, after getting torched by Ole Miss 63-31 catching 8 points at home in Week 10.

  • Opening point spread: Boise State -13.5
  • Opening moneyline: Boise State -560/San Jose State +400
  • Opening total: Over/Under 61.5 points scored
  • Time: 7 p.m. ET Saturday (CBSSN)

UPDATE 5 P.M. ET SUNDAY: The only reason Boise State gets ink in this report is because the Broncos are the highest-ranked Group of 5 team, at No. 13 in the CFP. Keep in mind that ultimately, the highest-ranked Group of 5 conference champion makes the 12-team playoff.

In Week 11, Boise State (8-1 SU/5-3-1 ATS) got a stiffer test than expected from Nevada. The Broncos closed as 23.5-point home favorites and won 28-21. That halted a 4-0-1 ATS run.

San Jose State (6-3 SU/5-4 ATS) has alternated SU wins and losses over its last seven games. In Week 11, the Spartans beat Oregon State 24-13 catching 3 points on the road to end an 0-4 ATS purge.

Boise State opened and is currently -13.5 on TwinSpires Sportsbook's college football Week 12 odds board. The Broncos are seeing 52% of spread tickets, while 54% of spread money is on the Spartans.

"It's good two-way action so far. Most of the handle is on the total," TwinSpires director of retail sports Zachary Lucas said. "We'll need a low-scorer if we want to win any money on this game."

The total opened and is still 61.5, with 66% of tickets/77% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 6:45 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: The Bulldogs opened -9 Sunday, went to -9.5/-10 Tuesday and got to -10.5 early this afternoon at The SuperBook. But the Vols are getting attention in the college football odds Week 12 market.

"There are slightly more tickets and money on the 'dog right now, on straight bets and parlays," SuperBook risk manager Casey Degnon said.

One reason Georgia is a bigger favorite: Tennessee QB Nico Iamaleava remains questionable while in concussion protocol.

"We don't really have any sharp action on the game right now," Degnon said.

The total hasn't budged off 48.5.

UPDATE 5 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Georgia (7-2 SU/2-7 ATS) is still among the top five teams in CFP odds, but definitely can't take another SEC loss. In Week 11, the Bulldogs fell to Ole Miss 28-10 giving 2 points on the road.

Tennessee (8-1 SU/5-4 ATS) probably can't even have two losses and make the CFP. In Week 11, the Vols coasted by Mississippi State 33-14, but failed to cover as 26-point home favorites. Tennessee is 1-4 ATS in its last five games.

Georgia is down a tick in TwinSpires Sportsbook's college football odds Week 12 market, going from 9 to -8.5. Early tickets and money are in the 2-1 range on Tennessee.

"The public loves the 'dog here. Many are expecting a closer game. We're hoping Georgia wins in a rout," TwinSpires director of retail sports Zachary Lucas said.

The total dipped from 49.5 to 48.5, with 57% of tickets/52% of dollars on the Over so far.

Wisconsin (5-4 SU/3-6 ATS) is coming off a bye and looking to bounce back from two consecutive losses. The Badgers were 3-point pups at Iowa in Week 10 and got belted 42-10.
