It’s almost comical how bad we’ve been against the spread this season. Each week there’s the belief that this is when we’ll turn it around. At this point, I’d almost be disappointed if we did. We were flat awful in Week 10, which should lead you to treat our Week 11 picks with an incredible amount of skepticism.
We’ve got a total of eight different games we’re taking a look at this week, including three of us with thoughts on BYU and Utah.
Season Results

Week 11 Picks
Caleb
Iowa State (-3) vs Kansas – ISU has looked to be one of the best teams in the big 12 and Kansas has looked like the worst. I expect ISU to go on the road and win pretty easily.
Colorado (-4) vs Texas Tech – Texas Tech shocked the world last week with a big upset over ISU but I don’t believe lighting will strike twice. Shedeur Sanders has this Colorado offense rolling and I think they will be too much for Texas Tech.
BYU (-3) vs Utah – BYU is playing some of the best football in college right now. Utah has had a big dip on offense this season and just can’t seem to move the ball. I expect BYU to roll into Utah and win big.
Craig
Georgia (-2.5) at Ole Miss – I think the Rebels keep this one close before the Bulldogs pull away late. Honestly, I’m surprised Georgia isn’t favored by more.
Iowa State (-3) at Kansas – The Cyclones will head to Lawrence looking to bounce back after their loss a week ago. Kansas just hasn’t been a good football team this year, and I think Iowa State wins this one by a lot.
BYU (-3) at Utah – Who would’ve thought before the season started that BYU would be favored in this game? I think they keep their perfect record and they cover the spread as they do it.
Matt
Miami (-2) at Georgia Tech – Miami leads the country at 47.4 points per game. just ahead of Indiana (46.6). The Hurricanes also lead in yards per play by almost the tiniest possible margin — they’re getting 7.711, Ole Miss is getting 7.706. We saw last week how quickly the Hurricanes can turn on the offense, they’ll be too much for the Yellow Jackets to handle.
Purdue (+38) at Ohio State – The Boilermakers are terrible, but 38 is a lot of points. Ohio State is 1-2 in its last three games, and the two wins were by a combined 11 points. They’ll win this one by several touchdowns, but I still like Purdue and those points.
Florida (+21.5) at Texas – The Gators went toe to toe with Georgia last week. Yes, they lost, but in doing so they proved they can compete with the top teams in the conference. Texas could win this game by three touchdowns and still not cover. I’ll take those odds for the Gators.
Zack
Iowa State (-2.5) at Kansas – The Cyclones are going to bounce back from last week’s loss to Texas Tech with an easy win in Lawrence against the Jayhawks. I don’t understand the tiny spread.
South Carolina (-3) at Vanderbilt – Vanderbilt is ranked, but South Carolina has been extremely consistent this season. I think the Gamecocks win by at least a touchdown.
BYU (-2.5) at Utah – Utah hasn’t been bad lately; they’ve been awful. BYU, on the other hand, has looked great. I just don’t see Utah turning it around all of a sudden.
