\n<\/b>College Football Picks for Saturday, Nov. 30th<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kennesaw State University (+12.5) vs. Louisiana Tech University
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Kennesaw State at +12.5 is an intriguing pick\u00a0against Louisiana Tech as both teams close out their seasons. Kennesaw’s ground game has been a consistent bright spot, and their ability to control the clock could keep this game closer than expected. Louisiana Tech, while having a better record at 4-7, has struggled defensively, giving up 30+ points in multiple games this season. With Kennesaw gaining momentum late in the year, their ability to stay within two scores is a strong possibility<\/p>\n


\n<\/b>Central Michigan University (+12.5) vs. Northern Illinois University<\/b><\/h3>\n

Central Michigan enters this matchup as an underdog but has shown they can punch above their weight. Their balanced attack, led by key players on offense and a defense that bends but doesn\u2019t always break, makes them a strong play to keep the game close. Northern Illinois, while formidable, has had issues with maintaining large leads, and CMU’s competitiveness as a road team could help them cover\u200b.<\/span><\/p>\n

University of Arkansas vs. University of Missouri (Over 54.5)<\/b><\/h3>\n

Arkansas and Missouri bring explosive offenses to this SEC showdown, with both teams often surpassing 30 points in high-stakes games. Taylen Green’s dynamic playmaking for Arkansas and Missouri’s efficiency under QB Brady Cook set the stage for a potential shootout. With both defenses occasionally struggling against top-tier offenses, the over at 54.5 feels within reach in what could be a back-and-forth battle.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>NFL Picks for Sunday, Dec. 1st<\/b>
\n<\/b>
\n<\/span>Steelers (+5) vs. Bengals<\/b><\/h3>\n

The Steelers enter this divisional matchup as underdogs, but there\u2019s a strong case for backing them with the points. Pittsburgh\u2019s defense remains elite, allowing just four yards per carry, ranking forth in the NFL. Joey Porter Jr. has been effective in coverage bolstering a secondary capable of limiting Joe Burrow\u2019s passing attack\u200b. The Steelers consistent special teams performance, led by Chris Boswell provides another edge\u200b.<\/span><\/p>\n

Titans vs. Commanders (-1.5)<\/b><\/h3>\n

Jayden Daniels has found rhythm in Washington’s offense, spreading the ball effectively to his playmakers like Terry McLaurin, who is poised to excel against Tennessee\u2019s vulnerable secondary. On the other side of the ball, the Commanders pass rush, anchored by Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne love to create consistent disruption against opposing quarterbacks. Additionally, Tennessee\u2019s offensive struggles, partially due to a banged-up offensive line and a developing quarterback in Will Levis\u2014give Washington an edge in dictating the pace of the game. With the Commanders healthier in key areas and showing better offensive balance, taking them at -1.5 is the move.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rams vs. Saints (Saints Moneyline)<\/b><\/h3>\n

The Saints are a solid pick on the moneyline against the Rams. New Orleans’ defense, while not top in points allowed, is highly effective at generating pressure and forcing turnovers, which could overwhelm Matthew Stafford and the Rams offense. The Saints defensive line, led by Cameron Jordan and others, has been a disruptive force this season, which should expose weaknesses in the Rams offensive line. On offense, Alvin Kamara\u2019s dual-threat ability adds extra pressure on the Rams’ defense, making New Orleans the more balanced team overall.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bonus Pick:\u00a0 Nico Collins, Texans, OVER 84.5 yards receiving<\/b><\/h3>\n


\n<\/b>Nico Collins has been a consistent target for C.J. Stroud in the Texans high-flying offense, and Week 13 presents a favorable opportunity for him to eclipse the 84.5-yard mark. Collins has averaged 101.9 receiving yards per game this season, ranking among the top receivers in efficiency per target. With his ability to generate explosive plays, he’s posted five games with over 80 yards already. Collins thrives as a deep threat and is Stroud’s go-to option in high-leverage situations.<\/span><\/p>\n
