College Football 2023 Week 11

 

I like to dig into stats and have provided information and insight for years looking for match-up edges, along with stats and situational plays that can often be overlooked when evaluating the games and match-ups. See my additional Top 25 picks this week beyond the Top 25 matchup picks at OSGA. That includes another Bonus Pick, which are 5-0 ATS this season. Understand too that there is more games each week that we evaluate and bet while monitoring the adjusted betting lines.

You can also see OSGA for my college football ‘200 Club’ offenses that are more balanced and efficient. I also added college football’s top defensive teams and defensive dominators and hope to update those stats and teams again next week.

Top 25 Picks

Stanford at No. 12 Oregon State
Line: Oregon State -20.5
Opinion: Oregon State

Big chalk eaters will love piling on Oregon State in this matchup. The Beavers may well steamroll the Cardinal with a balanced offense that I project will both rush and pass for more than 200 yards. Teams that do that this season are covering the spread just over 75% ATS with a sample size of more than 100 games. The Beavers (7-2) have lost just two games, and both in conference by 3 points on the road. At home at Reser Stadium in Corvallis, Oregon State has been the most dominant team in college football going 17-1 SU/ATS the past three years. Stanford (3-6) has seen a slight uptick in play while also catching a few teams in good spots. Stanford won at Washington State last week 10-7 with just 217 yards offense. Beavers bury another opponent at home.

Bonus Picks

Washington State at California
Line: Pick ’em
Pick: California

Our college football bonus picks are 5-0 this season, and this is just pick overall on these pages that hasn’t included a Top 25 team. We add it knowing that Cal (3-6) is going to both run and pass for at least 200 yards against a deficient Washington State (4-5) defense. Both teams are 1-5 in Pac 12 play, and the one dimensional Wazzu offense passes for 317 yards per game and runs for 59 yards per game – worst in the nation. The Golden Bears gave it their all two weeks ago with more than 500 yards balanced offense and a missed 2-point conversion in a 50-49 defeat to USC. Then the letdown, emotion and no energy blowout loss to top team Oregon last week while WSU was losing to Stanford at home 10-7. That’s fives straight losses for the Cougars, including two straight vs. Pac 12 bottom feeders Stanford and Arizona State. The Bears are a much better candidate to bounce back from last week’s loss and we like the offensive balance profile and matchups despite some defensive deficiencies on both teams. Let’s put the spotlight on the Pac 12 with our two additional picks outside of Top 25 matchups, as the Pac 12 is enjoying a superb sendoff season before the conference collapses with more realignment.

The other big game in the Pac 12 is worth noting with USC (+15.5) taking back huge points at Oregon. The dominating Ducks are 8-1 SU and 8-1 ATS – best in the country with UNLV. The Trojans are 2-8 ATS and just fired their defensive coordinator. If you’re in the buy low, sell high business of sports betting, then you get bonus points as this is the time to get USC at it’s lowest point and Oregon at its peak.
