Best College Football Parlays To Back Today For Week 11
Leg 1: Penn State Over Michigan
Odds:
Whether or not you want to apply an asterisk to Michigan’s 9-0 start due to the sign-stealing controversy and allegations, it’s more than fair to point out how weak the schedule has been to this point. The Wolverines’ best win is a 31-7 home triumph over Rutgers. They’ve done whatever they wanted offensively. That won’t be the case this week.
This Penn State defense has held opponents under 83 rushing yards in eight straight games. Maryland running backs did not have a single carry for more than one yard last week. This defense will force Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy to make plays during crunch time, in a hostile environment, against a caliber of opponent the Wolverines haven’t even sniffed this season.
And there’s no way it’s been business as usual in Ann Arbor this week with all the distractions. We’re on to kickoff our first college football parlay featuring three underdogs to win outright.
Leg 2: Texas Tech Over Kansas
Odds:
The Jayhawks are still alive in the Big 12 race and giving -3.5 points Saturday in a home matchup with Texas Tech. We like the Red Raiders’ chances here.
Kansas has impressed with back-to-back wins over Oklahoma and Iowa State, but this defense is shaky against the run. They’ve given up at least 202 yards on the ground in four of the last five games, putting way too much pressure on quarterback Jason Bean at times.
The Red Raiders can pound it and have rushed for more than 140 yards in eight straight games. Bad matchup for the Jayhawks. Upset time in Lawrence. We’re on Texas Tech moneyline for the .
Leg 3: Wake Forest Over North Carolina State
Odds:
The Wolf Pack just picked off two seriously impressive wins over Clemson and Miami in back-to-back weeks, but it looks like a bit of fool's gold. North Carolina State only managed a total of 433 yards of offense combined in those two games and was outgained in each. They won the turnover battles and that’s not a reliable strategy.
The Demon Deacons are coming off a hard-fought loss against Duke, in which they outgained the Blue Devils by 133 yards. It was one of their best defensive efforts of the year.
Wake Forest has won four of the last six matchups with NC State, including three straight in Winston-Salem. We like the Deacons to pull off the home upset to cap our first Week 11 .
College Football Week 11 Parlay Bet No. 2
Leg 1: Alabama Over Kentucky
Odds:
It doesn’t get much better than Alabama’s 42-28 home win over LSU. The action was nonstop and the outcome in doubt for three quarters, with QB Jalen Milroe stepping up time and time again down the stretch. The Tide are officially back in the national championship hunt as a result, with another step on tap this week at Kentucky.
The Wildcats have lost three of four, getting back on track last week against Mississippi State after playing three straight ranked opponents. They will try to make this ugly as possible and oddsmakers think they’ll succeed for a bit, with the total set at 47.
But Milroe playing with confidence and making all the right decisions changes things for the Tide, immensely. We expect an even better effort across the board this week. We’re on Alabama -11 for the first leg of our featuring three SEC matchups.
Leg 2: Tennessee Over Missouri
Odds:
We’ve been high on the Vols all season. They’ve had some adversity but continue to respond with outstanding effort, including doing what they were supposed to do last week in a 59-3 home win over UConn.
Conversely, Missouri laid it all on the line in a hard-fought 30-21 win over Georgia. But playing these Bulldogs takes a serious physical toll. Only two of the Bulldogs’ SEC opponents have played again the following week – Kentucky was a home favorite over Missouri and lost, 38-21, while Florida was a home favorite over Arkansas and lost, 39-36.
We expect that trend to continue this week. We’re on Tennessee -1.5 for the .
Leg 3: Arkansas Over Auburn
Odds:
This is about as evenly-matched as it gets. Both teams are strong in the secondary but vulnerable against the run on defense. Both teams do most of their offensive work on the ground and the starting quarterbacks have combined to throw 14 interceptions on the year.
This should be back-and-forth all afternoon. We loved the effort we saw from the Razorbacks in last week’s upset win over the Gators after four straight losses. We expect the home crowd to show their appreciation and give the Razorbacks a slight edge. We’re on Arkansas -2.5 for leg three.
