There are only a few weeks left in college football’s regular season. Of course, that also means there are only a few more opportunities bet college football.ย 

Beyond my college football best bets for Week 11, I have extra notes, leans, bonus predictions, and more for this Saturday’s games. Read on.

College Football Best Bets: Week 11 Predictions

GamePrediction
Georgia at Ole MissUnder 55.5
Iowa State at KansasKansas +3
Colorado at Texas TechUnder 62.5
Florida State at Notre DameNotre Dame -25.5
Virginia at PittsburghPittsburgh -7.5
BYU at UtahUnder 41.5

Georgia vs. Ole Miss Prediction

Georgia just hasnโ€™t looked consistently good to me this year. You have to acknowledge the Texas win, but I wonder if that result was as much about Quinn Ewersโ€™ health and effectiveness as anything else.

Ole Miss has been a little erratic this year as well, which is why this game isnโ€™t on my final sheet. That said, the numbers say you should take Ole Miss seriously. I lean toward the home dog but prefer the under, where Ole Miss is a surprising 7-2 this season.ย 

Bet: Under 55.5; Lean: Ole Miss +2.5

Iowa State vs. Kansas Prediction

If it looks like a weird point spread, thatโ€™s because it is. Iowa State is not healthy, and Kansas has come on strong the last few weeks.ย 

Give me the Jayhawks to keep it close in the fourth quarter โ€“ as they have virtually every game this year.ย 

Bet: Kansas +3

Colorado vs. Texas Tech Prediction

A week ago, this would have been a great place to grab a bunch of points against road-favorite Colorado, which is slowly recapturing some of the market hype it had in the opening weeks of 2023.ย 

Instead, Texas Tech priced itself out with an improbable win at Iowa State, and now I have no angle on the point spread. Instead, Iโ€™ll take the under, as Colorado tends to play lower-scoring games on the road.ย 

Bet: Under 62.5; Lean: Colorado -3.5

Florida State vs. Notre Dame Prediction

Do the Seminoles have any pride this month, or are they playing out the string on a dead season?ย 

Iโ€™m leaning toward the latter. Notre Dame has three wins this season of 26 or more, including its most recent outing โ€“ a shocking 51-14 destruction of previously undefeated Navy. Itโ€™s a big number, but Iโ€™d lay it with Notre Dame.ย 

Bet: Notre Dame -25.5

Virginia vs. Pittsburgh Prediction

I think Virginiaโ€™s comeback win against Boston College may have thrown some people off the scent of what this team is.ย 

The Cavaliers are improving, but theyโ€™re still not terribly good. They now hit the road to play an angry Pitt team that just got embarrassed at SMU. I have no issues laying the seven here with the home team and will swallow the hook, too.

Bet: Pittsburgh -7.5

BYU vs. Utah Prediction

Remember when this game was a near lock to be one of this seasonโ€™s College GameDay locations? Ahh, well. Canโ€™t win โ€™em all, Utah.

The Utesโ€™ offense has produced many unders in recent weeks, and I canโ€™t imagine the nature of a rivalry game will change much.

Bet: Under 41.5
