Love ’em or hate ’em, the No. 5 Indiana Hoosiers are at the centre of the college football world this weekend with serious playoff ramifications on the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> Indiana is unbeaten against a laughably weak schedule … but the joyride is expected to end this week against the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes. I’m riding with the Hoosiers to cover as heavy road dogs, though, while also banking a boatload of points with the Florida Gators against the No. 9 Ole Miss Rebels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out the best college football Week 13 picks for the action on Saturday, Nov. 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

College football Week 13 picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Best Bet: Florida +10.5 (-106)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you<\/em> want to bet against Florida at The Swamp, be my guest. I won’t be joining you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know Ole Miss rolled Georgia last week, 28-10, as a home underdog. But Florida is coming off a chest-beating win of its own \u2014 a 27-16 defeat of LSU as a home dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gators are 6-1 ATS since Sept. 21. They’re 3-0 in Gainesville in that span, and they were underdogs in each of those games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that in mind, a 10.5-point cushion should be plenty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ole Miss lost by three points to the same LSU squad that Florida just beat, but I’m not here to play the common opponents game. This is about the Gators playing their best ball at home \u2014 and looking solid with DJ Lagway under centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to full college football betting markets<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lagway, 247’s top-rated QB in the 2024 class, has averaged 11.6 yards per attempt in three starts since taking over for the injured Graham Mertz. He’s a livewire, and he gives the Gators a chance to make something big happen anytime the offence is on the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ole Miss still has the advantage under centre with Jaxson Dart \u2014 and top receiving threat Tre Harris is expected to return this week \u2014 so I’m not here to call for a Florida upset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I’ll gladly bank 10.5 points with a strong ATS squad that has played admirably at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> In SEC play, Ole Miss is 1-2 ATS as a double-digit-point favourite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Indiana +11.5 (-130):<\/strong> How good are the Hoosiers? And can you fault a team that hasn’t played anybody good if they’ve dominated practically everyone in their path?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the unanswerable questions that hang over Saturday’s noon matchup at Ohio Stadium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana is enjoying its best season in history but hasn’t faced a ranked opponent yet. Then again, nine of its 10 wins have come by 14-plus points, and that has to count for something … right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spread suggests otherwise, but I’m not laying this number with the Buckeyes. They’ve played with their food too many times this year for me to trust that a blowout is coming:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Northwestern: Trailed 7-0 in the second quarter<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Penn State: Trailed 10-0 in the first quarter<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Nebraska: Trailed 17-14 in the fourth quarter<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Iowa: Only led 7-0 at halftime<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Indiana showed its first signs of concern last time out when it limped to a 20-15 win over Michigan with only a field goal on offence in the second half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I’m choosing to view that as a wake-up call for the Hoosiers, who’ve since had a bye week to iron some things out. Count on Indiana and its No. 2 scoring offence (43.9 PPG) to be competitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
