College Football Week 14: Can These Underdogs SHOCK the Nation?!

College football fans, get ready! Week 14 is upon us, and it's not just another week – it's Rivalry Week! That means bragging rights, potential playoff berths, and the sweet, sweet taste of victory (or the bitter sting of defeat) are all on the line. This year, with the expanded 12-team playoff, the stakes feel even higher. Let's dive into some of the key matchups and see what the oddsmakers are saying.

College Football Week 14: Can These Underdogs SHOC...

First up, we have the always-heated Egg Bowl: Mississippi State at Ole Miss. Lane Kiffin and his Rebels are favored by a touchdown, sitting at -7. The moneyline reflects that confidence at -290 for Ole Miss, compared to +235 for the Bulldogs. The over/under is set at a high 62.5, suggesting we could be in for a shootout. Ole Miss has been solid straight up (10-1 SU), but their against-the-spread (ATS) record is a more modest 6-5. Meanwhile, Mississippi State, despite a 5-6 overall record, is a surprising 8-3 ATS. Keep an eye on the sidelines too – whispers are swirling about Kiffin and the LSU coaching job, so this could be his last regular-season game in Oxford.

Next, a classic in-state battle: No. 4 Georgia travels to face No. 23 Georgia Tech. The Bulldogs are hefty 13.5-point favorites. Their moneyline is a steep -575, while Georgia Tech sits at +425. The over/under is 59.5. Georgia's only stumble this season was against Alabama, but since then they've looked unstoppable (though their 5-6 ATS record might give some bettors pause). Georgia Tech, at 9-2, will be looking to bounce back from a loss to Pitt. Remember that insane eight-overtime game between these two a couple years ago? Anything can happen in a rivalry game.

The renewal of an old rivalry is also upon us as Texas will visit Texas A&M. The Aggies are slight favorites, though, at -2.5. The moneyline is A&M -130 and Texas is +110. The total over/under is 51.5.

And of course, we can't forget "The Game": Michigan at Ohio State. The Buckeyes are favored by 10 points. Ohio State's moneyline is a whopping -395, compared to Michigan's +310. The over/under is a relatively low 44.5. Ohio State has been absolutely dominant this season, a perfect 11-0 SU and a stellar 9-1-1 ATS. They also have Julian Sayin, a potential Heisman contender, under center. Remember that shocking Michigan upset in 2024? Could they play spoiler again and throw a wrench into Ohio State's national title aspirations? It's going to be a battle. I wouldn't miss this one for anything.

Lastly, we have No. 14 Vanderbilt at No. 19 Tennessee, with Tennessee favored by a slim 2.5 points. Tennessee’s moneyline is -148, and Vanderbilt sits at +124. The over/under here is a high 65.5, suggesting a potentially high-scoring affair. These matchups are why we love college football!
