College Football Week 12 Expert Best Bets: ACC Underdogs Barking vs. CFP Contenders

With the stakes growing every week for teams eyeing College Football Playoff berths, spots in conference title games or just good ol' respectability, here are our experts' favorite plays for Week 12 of college football.

Utah Utes (-7) at Colorado Buffaloes

Sat. 11/17, 1:30 p.m. ET

Pick: Utah -7

Colorado is in free fall, having now dropped five straight games (1-4 against the spread) after a 5-0 start to the season. Buffaloes fans were hoping the team would rediscover its rhythm with star wideout Laviska Shenault back on the field, as he had missed three of those losses with an injury, but his 10 catches for 102 yards ultimately did little to spark the team's offense in a 31-7 home loss to Washington State last Saturday.
