How good are the Miami Hurricanes (8-0 SU, 4-4 ATS)? They’re No. 7 on the College Football Playoff rankings, but it’s hard to get a handle on the ‘Canes; they’ve played a relatively soft schedule in the ACC Coastal Division, and their toughest opponents this year have been Harvey, Irma, and Juan. Saturday’s home game against the No. 3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (8-1 SU, 7-2 ATS) will go a long way towards determining the College Football Playoff fates of both teams; kick-off is at 8 PM ET on ABC, with Miami checking in at +3.5 at press time vs the Irish in what should be a close contest.
There’s plenty more where that came from on this Week 11 NCAAF odds board. Here are some other big games to keep an eye out and bet on for this Saturday, all times Eastern:
No. 12 Michigan State Spartans at No. 13 Ohio State Buckeyes (noon, FOX)
The Buckeyes (7-2 SU, 4-5 ATS) may have played their way out of a CFP spot in last week’s blowout loss to Iowa. They opened as 16-point home favorites against Michigan State (7-2 SU, 6-2 ATS), but fell to –14.5 on the early college football lines, then bounced back to –16.
No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs at No. 10 Auburn Tigers (3:30 PM, CBS)
They’ve played better than anyone else this year, including a big win at Notre Dame, but the Bulldogs (9-0 SU, 6-3 ATS) will have their hands full in Auburn (7-2 SU, 4-3-2 ATS). The Tigers are holding steady as 3-point home dogs.
No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide at No. 16 Mississippi State Bulldogs (7 PM, ESPN)
The Crimson Tide (9-0 SU, 4-5 ATS) keep winning, but they’ve played a home-heavy schedule thus far, and they dropped the cash in three of their last four games. Mississippi State (7-2 SU, 6-3 ATS) is a 14-point home dog; they’re 1-4 SU and 3-2 ATS at home versus Alabama since Nick Saban’s arrival in 2007.
No. 6 TCU Horned Frogs at No. 5 Oklahoma Sooners (8 PM, FOX)
This Big 12 matchup should have more impact on the CFP rankings than any other game on the Week 11 college football betting board. Each team carries an 8-1 SU and 5-4 ATS record into Memorial Stadium. While the Frogs have played better football this year, they’re 6.5-point underdogs in Norman, one of the toughest places to visit in the FBS.
