Top college football predictions for Week 11
One of the top Week 11 college football picks the model is recommending for the best betting apps: 13th-ranked Wake Forest (+1.5, 60.5) covers versus SMU in a noon ET kickoff. Wake is an ACC-best 7-2 ATS, which is also tied for the fifth-best spread record in FBS. The Demon Deacons have won five straight games by 20-plus points, and their only defeat this year came to then-No. 5 Miami, a game in which Wake Forest covered. Meanwhile, SMU has allowed 28-points in back-to-back games, both coming versus ACC teams without winning conference records. Wake Forest covers well over 60% of the time, per 10,000 model simulations.
Another Week 11 prediction: No. 19 Ole Miss (-1.5, 49.5) covers at Oklahoma well over 50% of the time. The Sooners are coming off a victory over Florida, but OU is just 4-9-1 ATS after a win since the start of last season. Saturday also saw Ole Miss get soundly defeated by Georgia, but the Rebels are resilient and have covered in each of their last three games following a loss. Ole Miss has more balance on both sides of the ball than Oklahoma, as the Sooner offense is the clear weak link. OU leads the SEC in turnovers, ranks last in rushing offense and is second worst in total offense. Oklahoma simply won't be able to keep up with Ole Miss on the scoreboard, and the model also projects the Over to connect in 60% of simulations. See which other picks the model likes here.
