Florida

Florida
was a 4.5-point favorite heading into the game according to online sportsbook SPORTSBETTING.com. 65 percent of the public bets went with the Gators, but

Texas survives, barely
Texas was a 14-point favorite over

Nebraska
for the Big 12 Championship on Saturday. 66 percent of public bets went with the Longhorns, but it took a Hunter Lawrence 46-yard field goal as time expired to outlast

Nebraska
13-12. The
Nebraska defense held
Texas to just 202 yards of offense and had nine sacks and three turnovers, but the

Nebraska
offense could barely move the ball, settling for 12 points on just over 100 yards of offense as a team.
Bearcats sneak out a win

Cincinnati
was favored by 1.5-points heading into Saturday’s game at Pitt. 81 percent of public bets went with the Bearcats, but

won by just one point, 45-44. Pitt messed up an extra point with two minutes to play to take a 44-38 lead on

Jackets win in a shootout
Georgia Tech was a 1-point favorite over Clemson for the ACC Championship on Saturday. 82 percent of the public bets went with the Yellowjackets, and Georgia Tech defeated Clemson 39-34 in a classic.
