College football fans have plenty to be thankful for during the Thanksgiving holiday. Thanksgiving falls on Week 13 of the season and is the last week of the regular season for most schools.
The Thanksgiving football games are considered to be some of the best of the year because most are rivalry matchups. Most games include interstate rivals, while a few others pit conference heavyweights against each other.
For fans and bettors alike, NCAA Thanksgiving games are exciting matchups, and we’ve included information regarding all the games, including previews for some of the biggest games of the Thanksgiving weekend.

College Football Matchups On Thanksgiving Weekend
While college football does not have the same teams play each year on Thanksgiving Day like in the NFL, it does typically have one or two matchups on the holiday itself. However, all eyes will be on college football on Saturday, November 23 because of the conclusion to Rivalry Week.
Egg Bowl on Turkey Day
Ole Miss Rebels v. Mississippi State Bulldogs – Miss. St. won 35-3
The Bulldogs offense rushed for 309 yards and the defense stuffed the Rebels offense all night long, allowing only 189 total yards. A brawl broke out in the second half, leading to four ejections, and Mississippi State ran away with the game and took the Egg Bowl back to Starkville.
Odds:
Spread: +11 Ole Miss (-110), -11 Miss State (-110)
2018 Rivalry Week Key Matchups
Florida State Seminoles v. Florida Gators – Florida won 41-17
Feleipe Franks and the Gators offense put up over 500 total yards on the road, beat their in-state rival for the first time in five years and ended the Seminoles season, who finished with a losing record for the first time since 1976 and won’t appear in a bowl game for the first time since 1982.
Odds:
Spread: -5 Florida (-105), +5 Florida State (-110)
Georgia Bulldogs v. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets – Georgia won 45-21
Games are never over until the clock hits zero, but the Bulldogs lit up the Yellow Jackets in the first half, going into the locker room with a dominating 38-7 lead – never looking back with four passing touchdowns from Jake Fromm on their way to the SEC Championship in Atlanta to take on the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Odds:
Spread: -17 Georgia (-105), +17 Georgia Tech (-110)
Ohio State Buckeyes v. Michigan Wolverines – Ohio State won 62-39
The previously ranked No.1 defense in the country got routed by Dwayne Haskins six passing touchdowns and the Buckeyes dominated Michigan from start to finish on their way to the Big Ten Championship.
Odds:
Spread: -4.5 Michigan (-105), +4.5 Ohio State (-115)
Clemson Tigers v. South Carolina Gamecocks – Clemson won 56-35
A game that had the Gamecocks within a score at halftime saw Tigers pull away in the second half behind a career-high 393 passing yards from true freshman quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The fifth straight win over their rival cemented another perfect regular season ahead of a trip to the ACC Championship.
Odds:
Spread: -25 Clemson (-110), +25 South Carolina (-110)
Alabama Crimson Tide v. Auburn Tigers – Alabama won 52-21
A 3-point deficit at halftime for the Tigers would balloon into a 31-point victory for the Crimson Tide by the time as was said and done in the Iron Bowl. Tide quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had another stellar performance, adding to his Heisman campaign, as the Tide will roll into Atlanta to face Georgia in the SEC Championship.
Odds:
Spread: -24.5 Alabama (-105), +24.5 Auburn (-110)
