The best bets from college football's rivalry weekend by Tyler Lauletta on Nov 24, 2017, 10:31 AM 
It's Rivalry Week! The one week of the season where no matter the talent gap between teams, a dose of good ol' fashioned hate can make a game competitive. Last week our college bets fell back down to Earth a bit, going 3-4 against the spread. But after a 12-2 run the hit didn't hurt that bad and we're still big winners overall for the season. Let's see if we can keep the magic rolling and try to head into championship weekend with a nice little bankroll. All lines are courtesy of the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook. LAST WEEK: 3-4
OVERALL: 49–35 Oklahoma (-22) over West Virginia  Baker Mayfield will not start on Saturday after making a few offensive gestures at the Kansas sidelines last week. But while some pearl clutching, old school football heads were shocked by Mayfield's actions, I just saw him locked in and enjoying the game. Watch the Sooners roll again all with Mayfield on his best behavior.
Auburn (+4.5) over Alabama  Thr Iron Bowl always has the potential to be one of the best games of the college football season, and this year is no different — with a trip to the SEC championship on the line, and a history that includes the most gut-wrenching loss in NCAA history, Saturday's game will be one for the books. Auburn are a home dog and play a style that could give Bama trouble should they get into a rhythm, so I'm taking the points and hoping this one stays close at the very least.
South Carolina (+14) over Clemson  Just a few points too many in this spot. Oklahoma, Ohio State, and Clemson are all playing strong but inferior opponents this weekend, and I've got a feeling one of them loses or comes dangerously close — it's just the way college football is. The Gamecocks have only lost three times all year and have never lost by more than two scores, even when they played a Georgia team that was best inthe nation at the time. They're not a team to be overlooked, and they'll have the home crowd behind them.
