Scott Van Pelt Picks This Week for College Football & NFL 2020 (SVP Record 28-24-1)

All of the sudden, it is Week 12 in college football and Week 11 in the NFL. After Thursday Night Football each week, ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt provides a list of his favorite picks for the weekend ahead in CFB and the NFL. At ActionRush, we have tracked his history for two seasons, including this year. It has been a good one for SVP to date, as he looks to improve on a positive record this week.

Scott Van Pelt, self-admittedly, is not a professional handicapper by any stretch of imagination. Nevertheless, SVP has turned in one of the more entertaining segments in sports media each and every week with his “Winner$” and “Bad Beat” segments of SportsCenter and has turned in some winners from time to time.

Last week, SVP did not have a “Winner$” segment as he was at the Masters. Two weeks ago, SVP went 2-4 and brought his overall record to 28-24-1. This will be a big week for him to stay above .500.

After a break last week at the Masters, SVP is back for Week 12 in college football. As he does each week, the ESPN personality makes his favorite college football picks against the spread for the week at hand. This week is Week 12, and here are his picks.

UCLA +13.5 vs. Oregon

For this one, SVP’s expert analysis is “I don’t have any intel here, the Bruins are the pick”.

Tennessee +11 vs. Auburn

Tennessee has had a game postponed, have lost four straight and has had plenty of issues. Naturally, SVP likes them with the points.

UCF +6 vs. Cincinnati

SVP continues to go against Cincy, taking UCF with the points over the #7-ranked team in the country.

Hawaii +14 vs. Boise State

SVP said it’s been awhile since they have picked Hawaii games, and that’s who he is going with this week against Boise State.

Penn State +2.5 vs. Iowa

“Is Penn State really going to start 0-5?” asks SVP. He takes Penn State again this week with the points.

Denver Broncos +3 vs. Miami Dolphins

SVP mentions that the Dolphins are good, but he mentions “dumb things happen”. He likes Denver +3 in his only pick this week despite the Dolphins’ hot start.
