Top Week 12 college football expert predictions

One of Sallee's top Week 12 college football picks: Sallee is going Over 49.5 in the Georgia vs. Kentucky matchup in Lexington, Ky., at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+. The Bulldogs have quietly had one of the top offenses in the country this season, scoring at least 26 points in every game. 

They have been particularly good on the road, scoring 48 points at South Carolina and 45 points at Mississippi State. Quarterback Stetson Bennett has career-highs in completion percentage (67.6) and passing yards (2,895) this season.

Kentucky running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. has found his top gear of late, rushing for 162 yards and two touchdowns last week. He missed the first four games of the season, but he has still racked up 733 rushing yards this year. The Wildcats have scored at least 20 points on seven occasions this season, so they have enough firepower to help get this game over the total. See what else Sallee likes at SportsLine.
