Iowa is a 3.5-point betting underdog against the Spartans, according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Like Iowa, Michigan State has enjoyed its share of success against Big Ten opponents recently with a 24-2 straight up record in its last 26 games against conference foes. The winner of this game will almost certainly advance into the College Football Playoff.
The Florida Gators are 4-0 SU and against the spread in their last four games following a loss. That stretch of success could come to an end this Saturday as the Gators are a 17-point underdog squaring off against the Alabama Crimson Tide at the Georgia Dome. Florida is 1-8 ATS in its last nine games against Alabama.
Like Alabama, the Clemson Tigers can lock up their spot in the College Football Playoff with a win in their conference title game this Saturday. The ACC Championship Game features the Tigers as a 6-point favorite against the North Carolina Tar Heels at Bank of America Stadium. Clemson is 6-2 SU and ATS in its last eight games played on Week 14.
