The Indiana Hoosiers were not on many radars heading into the season, but they have established themselves as national championship contenders heading into their matchup against the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday during the Week 13 college football schedule. Indiana improved to 10-0 with a 20-15 win over Michigan two weeks ago before having a week off to prepare for the Buckeyes. The Hoosiers, who held firm at No. 5 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings revealed on Tuesday, are 10-point road underdogs in the Week 13 college football odds, as Ohio State has won its last two games by a combined score of 76-7. Which side of that Week 13 college football spread should you back with your Week 13 college football bets?

No. 19 Army is also unbeaten heading into the weekend, but it will face its first ranked opponent when it travels to No. 6 Notre Dame. The Black Knights are 14-point underdogs in the Week 13 college football lines. Army has lost five straight against Notre Dame, but the Black Knights are 7-2 against the spread in their last nine games played on a Saturday.

Top college football predictions for Week 13

One of the college picks the model is high on during Week 13: No. 16 Colorado (-2.5) covers the spread on the road against Kansas in a 3:30 p.m. ET matchup on Saturday. The Buffaloes have taken another big step forward under head coach Deion Sanders this year, winning eight of their first 10 games to put themselves in a tie with BYU atop the Big 12 standings. They extended their winning streak to four games with a 49-24 win over Utah last week, marking their sixth double-digit win of the season.

Senior quarterback Shedeur Sanders has 3,222 passing yards and 31 total touchdowns, helping Colorado cover the spread in eight consecutive games. Junior wide receiver Travis Hunter has 74 receptions for 911 yards and nine scores while also playing elite defense, establishing himself as the Heisman Trophy favorite heading into Week 13. Kansas has been an inconsistent team throughout the season, which is why Colorado is covering the spread in nearly 60% of the model’s simulations. See the rest of its Week 13 college football picks here.

Another prediction: No. 15 Texas A&M (-2.5) keeps its College Football Playoff hopes alive with a win at Auburn in a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff on Saturday. The Aggies bounced back from a loss at South Carolina with a 38-3 win over New Mexico State last week, as freshman quarterback Marcel Reed threw two touchdown passes and ran for a third score. Reed has provided a spark for Texas A&M’s offense since taking over the starting job in a huge win against LSU at the end of October.

The Aggies have already won two road games in SEC play, beating Florida and Mississippi State by double digits. Auburn has lost five of its first six league games, including a 17-7 loss to Vanderbilt at home earlier this month. Texas A&M has a massive motivational edge as it tries to keep its CFP chances alive, and the model has the Aggies covering the small spread in well over 60% of simulations.
