Early Week 11 college football bets to make
20 best bets gathered from respected handicappers, plus info from sportsbooks
Week 11 of the college football season has arrived and there are several enticing matchups, headlined by No. 11 Alabama (-3, 58.5) traveling to Death Valley to take on No. 15 LSU on Saturday night. The betting public is loading up early at DraftKings on No. 4 Miami (-11 at Georgia Tech), No. 18 Army (-5.5 at North Texas) and No. 1 Oregon (-25 vs. Maryland), among a few others.
In other sports betting news, Amendment 2 narrowly passed (50.1% to 49.9%) in Missouri yesterday, which legalizes online and retail sports betting in the state. The amendment became the most expensive ballot issue campaign in state history, with many of the state’s professional sports teams — the Kansas City Chiefs, Kansas City Royals and St. Louis Cardinals included — leading the effort. That means we’re up to 39 states with legal and widespread sports betting. Missouri is expected to go live before Dec. 1, 2025.
I’ll have much more info from bookmakers and best bets in my full college football report later this week, but I’ve gathered 20 best bets on the weekend’s CFB games from some respected handicappers that you may want to look at early in the week before the odds move.
