By Adam Spencer
Published:
Well, folks, this is it — we’ve reached the final weekend of the college football regular season. As sad as that is, at least there are plenty of big-time rivalry games on the slate to keep us entertained.
Meanwhile, the NFL enters Week 12, which means after this weekend, there are only 6 more weeks left in the regular season. It’s truly flying by, y’all.
Our DFS experts — Andrew Olson and Adam Spencer — crunched the numbers and made their college and NFL picks over at Underdog. Get in on the fun today and follow along for their top picks of the week.

Our Week 13 College Football Picks
Andrew Olson
Marvin Harrison, Jr., Ohio State: Higher than 87.5 receiving yards
I’m taking the Maserati for a spin this weekend. I wish I were referring to Black Friday shopping with my winnings from Underdog, but I’m just talking about a guy named Marv.
Harrison isn’t the nation’s leading receiver, but his impact on big games has him in the Heisman Trophy conversation. I like Harrison to be the difference maker in the national spotlight of The Game.
Xavier Restrepo, Miami: Higher than 56.5 receiving yards
Yep, I’m going back to the Restrepo well again this week. Boston College’s pass defense looks solid on paper, but Miami has a talent advantage. As we saw last week, Restrepo often gets Tyler Van Dyke’s first look. Restrepo may not go for 193 again, but 57 isn’t a lot to ask of UM’s leading receiver.
Jayden Daniels, LSU: Higher than 316.5 passing yards
The Texas A&M defense has given up more than 320 passing yards 3 times this season. Daniels and the Tigers are about to make it 4. With its championship hopes dashed, LSU is playing to win Daniels the Heisman Trophy. I expect Brian Kelly and his staff to call bombs away for stud receivers Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr.

Malik Nabers, LSU: Higher than 115.5 receiving yards
I’m tailing Andrew’s Jayden Daniels pick here a bit. LSU will want to make Daniels look like the Heisman Trophy winner on Saturday and will also try to get Nabers more buzz for the Biletnikoff Award. I like Nabers to torch the Aggies’ secondary for 120 or more yards.
Jalen Milroe, Alabama: Higher than 2.0 passing TDs
Milroe enters the Iron Bowl on a hot streak, having thrown 3 touchdown passes in each of his last 2 games. He’ll continue that strong play against Auburn, even in the hostile environment of Jordan-Hare Stadium. Alabama is looking to make a statement that it belongs in the Playoff, and Milroe is a big part of the Tide’s strong play of late.
Jaylen Wright, Tennessee: Higher than 90.5 rushing yards
Wright struggled a couple of weeks ago at Mizzou, but outside of that game, he’s been highly efficient. Even if he only gets 10 carries against Vanderbilt, he’s shown the ability to get to 100 yards on a light workload. If he can break a big run like he did last week against Georgia, he’ll surpass this total.
Our Week 12 NFL Picks
Andrew Olson
Saquon Barkley, New York Giants: Higher than 75.5 rushing yards
Barkley is heating up in recent weeks after a slow start to the season that included missed games. Coming off his best fantasy performances of the season, I like Barkley to keep the momentum rolling against a struggling New England team.
Stefon Diggs, Buffalo Bills: Higher than 73.5 receiving yards
Diggs is on an unusual production slump over the past couple of weeks. Time for him to look like the premier pass-catcher we’ve come to know. For a 9-1 team, the Eagles are surprisingly suspect in defending the pass. I’m feeling a nice bounce-back game for Diggs.
Adam Spencer
CJ Stroud, Houston Texans: Higher than 279.5 passing yards
In his last 3 games, Stroud has thrown for 336, 356 and 470 yards. He’s the clear Rookie of the Year favorite and has even generated some MVP buzz. This is a big game against Jacksonville, as the Texans can solidify their spot in the playoff race with a win. Stroud will shine on Sunday afternoon.
Derek Carr, New Orleans Saints: Higher than 239.5 passing yards
Carr has struggled the past 2 weeks, not hitting the 240-yard mark. But prior to that, he had a string of 300 yard throwing performances. I like him to get back to that level in a must-win NFC South matchup at Atlanta on Sunday. He should be at his best now that he’s no longer listed on the injury report.
