The opening lines for Week 13 of college football are out and some tight games are expected in another good weekend of football action. Below are this week’s opening lines, via OddsShark, which will also have updated lines throughout the week.

The biggest line belongs, once again, to Florida State, a 56-point favorite over Idaho. The closest line falls in a Mountain West showdown between UNLV and Air Force, which opens as a pick ‘em.

Kansas State is favored over Oklahoma, despite the Sooners’ dominating win over Iowa State and the Wildcats’ not-so-dominating win over TCU. Notre Dame is a tight favorite over BYU, and LSU is a four-point favorite over Texas A&M.

In the Pac-12, Arizona State is a two-point favorite over UCLA. Missouri is favored by just two points over Mississippi in SEC play, and Baylor holds the biggest margin of the key games this weekend, as a 13-point favorite over Oklahoma State.
