NCAAF Week 11 Parlay: Upset-Minded Miami, Ole Miss Teams in the Spotlight
Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin and Colorado’s Deion Sanders certainly talk the talk and Week 11 gives them the chance to walk the way as the Rebels and Buffaloes are part of the three-game parlay for Week 11. Add in the insanely low total in the Rutgers-Iowa game leading to that contest finishing over the total and we have come up with a tempting college football parlay for Nov.11.
With the Penn State-Maryland and Alabama-Louisiana State games both going over the total, the only thing that stood in the way of hitting our three-game parlay for the second week in a row was the Texas A&M-Ole Miss game. Those fortunate enough to grab Ole Miss at -2½ would have come through just fine. Otherwise, the parlay would go down as a push with the Rebels edging Texas A&M 38-35.
There are four matchups between ranked teams in Week 11. Georgia is favored at home against Ole Miss, Tennessee and Missouri meet in another key SEC clash, the Michigan-Penn State matchup could be one of the games of the year in the Big Ten and Utah looks to knock Washington from the ranks of the unbeaten. Other than those games, every ranked team is listed by our college football odds as favorites in Week 11.
While there are seven undefeated teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision, there are no longer any teams with perfect marks against the college football spread. Each FBS team has covered at least once.
Michigan (+235) and Georgia (+250) are the frontrunners in the odds to win the national title.
Now it is time to take a look at the best three-game parlay heading into Week 11 with some college football betting options.
Miami Hurricanes (+14½) at Florida State Seminoles
- Game: Saturday, Nov. 11, 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC)
It has been quite the roller-coaster ride for the Miami Hurricanes as they lost a game because their head coach didn’t figure out that they could have run the clock out by simply taking a knee. Miami also posted wins over Texas A&M and Clemson.
The Hurricanes have proven that they can beat anybody but also struggle against lesser teams so there is probably not another team that plays more to the competition level than Miami.
This weekend comes the chance to prove that. Miami is a double-digit underdog against rival Florida State for the first time since 2013. Dating back to 1999, the Hurricanes have covered against the college football odds in three of the four games as double-digit underdogs against FSU.
There will be no ACC title game appearance for Miami and the days of the Hurricanes vying for national titles are long over. This feels like Miami’s title game as a win would allow the Hurricanes to knock their bitter rivals out of the national championship race.

Rutgers Scarlet Knights at Iowa Hawkeyes (Over 28)
- Game: Saturday, Nov. 11, 3:30 p.m. ET (Big Ten Network)
The number alone is enough to make those who bet online do a double take.
Totals in college football games in the low 30s are one thing but seeing the total for the Rutgers-Iowa game set at 28 is something else.
The teams have each played six Big Ten games and have combined to score 21 touchdowns so don’t expect the visiting Scarlet Knights or the Big Ten West division-leading Hawkeyes to light up the scoreboard. However, how can you not take a chance on the same landing over 28 points?
While an Iowa team that has the worst offense in the Big Ten has had two of its games this season land over the total, five games played by Rutgers headed that way. Sure, this could end up being a 10-7 game that would make those watching the slugfest have their eyes bleed, but why not go with these teams doing enough to edge over the 28-point total?
Ole Miss Rebels (+11) at Georgia Bulldogs
- Game: Saturday, Nov. 11, 7 p.m. ET (ESPN)
Georgia keeps on winning and continues to underperform for those who bet online.
The Bulldogs are 2-6-1 against the spread and yet they are 11-point favorites versus a dangerous Ole Miss team after being challenged a week ago by Missouri.

Thanks to the Super Conference era when there are more conference opponents than slots in the schedule, Ole Miss and Georgia haven’t played since 2016 so there aren’t many betting trends to rely on.
However, a team with red-hot running back Quinshon Judkins and dual-threat quarterback Jaxson Dart can play with anybody and the Rebels get a chance to show that.
It might be asking a bit much for Ole Miss to snap Georgia’s 36-game winning streak in the regular season but to cover as an 11-point underdog seems like a reasonable option.
