Matt Youmans: Week 14 College Football Best Bets

Our Summary
Ohio State seeks redemption as a 10-point favorite against Michigan in Ann Arbor. Following a national championship run, Ohio State coach Ryan Day faces pressure to break a losing streak against the Wolverines. Both teams feature freshman quarterbacks, but Ohio State's Julian Sayin is highlighted for his polished passing, supported by a top-ranked defense allowing only 7.6 points per game. Michigan's offense faces challenges without star running back Justice Haynes. The prediction favors Ohio State to win 23-16, with a best bet on the total under 44.
Texas A&M, at 11-0, faces a test against Texas in Austin. The Aggies rely on dual-threat quarterback Marcel Reed, while Texas struggles defensively, allowing 35.3 points on average in recent games. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian, with a poor record as an underdog, will aim for a strong home performance. The best bet is Texas +3.
Washington is positioned as a home underdog against Oregon
