Three colossal games, three innovative ways to bet 'em. Saturday's first round of the CFP is buzzing with juicy betting edges.
PRO tools are active with a high-confidence pick on every game tomorrow.
Weather systems predict Miami vs. Texas A&M at noon, sharps and experts match on Tulane vs. Ole Miss (3:30 p.m. ET), and projections disagree with the JMU vs. Oregon (7:30 p.m. ET) odds.
Here are Saturday's best bets using PRO, with plenty of sharp, unique insights to apply across the December 20 slate.
College Football Playoff Picks for Saturday
Miami vs. Texas A&M Pick
Fun fact: Across all five PRO resources, not a single signal's active on either side of the Miami vs. Texas A&M spread.
Hurricanes vs. Aggies is drawing some solid two-way action on the 3.5-point line, so there's no value. On the total, there's a bit of a disagreement between sharps and experts (under) and our projections (over).
Instead, the hidden edge in the early game Saturday is Miami vs. Texas A&M to land under the first half total of 23.5.
A neat PRO System hints that wind could be a pivotal factor to Saturday's total.
Action Director of Research Evan Abrams "Windy 1H Unders" angle is active, revealing a steady win rate to low-scoring games in the first two quarters.
This model finds that if a game with 11+ mph wind speeds also forces the total to drop by 1.5+ points, the first-half under is the way to go.
Bet Labs weather posted a 15 mph wind prediction for Kyle Field in Texas on Saturday. The total, meanwhile, is down 3.5 points from open. Data-driven patterns suggest taking the 1H under.
Tulane vs. Ole Miss Pick
Meanwhile, it's a one-sided affair on Tulane vs. Ole Miss. Sharps and experts clearly favor Ole Miss to cover.
Lane Kiffin's departure from Ole Miss to LSU hasn't swayed respected money in regards to Saturday's spread. In fact, pro action's pushed the line up from -16.5 to -17.5, and experts in the Action App agree it's the right side.
JMU vs. Oregon Pick
Oregon's expected to roll as a three-touchdown favorite Saturday, but the real value may be on the over/under.
Projections shade a nice edge to the Ducks vs. Dukes over the total of 45.5 Saturday night. Action PRO models expect a fair score that combines to more like 49 points.
