Let’s put together a three-team parlay and free NCAAF pick for this Saturday’s Week 11 NCAA Football games using three ranked Road Favorites and putting them together on the Money Line. All three games should be interesting and could be considered rivalries, but it seems all three of the Road teams are simply better and all still have visions of playing in the first-ever College Football Playoff (CFP) dancing through their heads.
Iowa State vs Kansas 11/9/24 Game Information
| When: | Saturday, November 9, 2024 at 3:30 ET/12:30 PT |
| Where: | GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri |
| Iowa State vs Kansas Money Line: | Iowa State -142 |
| Total: | 50.5 |
| TV: | FS1 |
First Leg of Parlay
No. 17 Iowa State (7-1, 4-1 in Conference) heads to Kansas City to face Kansas (2-6, 1-4 in Conference) in a game the Cyclones should win and also probably cover the -3.5 point spread. Although the Jayhawks have won the last two series meetings, Iowa State won the previous seven meetings. This game won’t be in Lawrence, so Kansas won’t have a real Homefield advantage and with the Jayhawks having lost four of five and the Cyclones having won all but one game this season—they lost their last game to Texas Tech by one point—I’m expecting the Favorites to be the better team in this one. QB Becht, RB Hansen, and WR Noel are Iowa State’s main guys, while QB Daniels, RB Neal, and WR Grimm are the Jayhawks key players. To stay in the Big 12 race and possibly the CFP, the Cyclones really need to win this one. This Iowa State vs Kansas prediction is for the Cyclones to win by 7 to 10, cover ATS, and win on the Money Line at Arrowhead.
Georgia vs Mississippi 11/9/24 Game Information
| When: | Saturday, November 9, 2024 at 3:30 ET/12:30 PT |
| Where: | Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, Oxford, Mississippi |
| Georgia vs Mississippi Money Line: | Georgia -135 |
| Total: | 54.5 |
| TV: | ABC, ESPN+ |
Second Leg of Parlay
No. 3 Georgia (7-1, 5-1 in Conference) will meet #16 Mississippi (7-2, 3-2 in Conference) in a fun SEC game from Oxford, Mississippi on Saturday, and oddsmakers have made the Bulldogs 2.5-point chalks. A couple of things to think about. Like Iowa State, Georgia really needs this game to stay in consideration for a CFP spot. Secondly, the Rebels just aren’t as good as we thought they were at the start of the season. Third, Georgia has won 46 of its last 47 Regular Season games, only losing to Alabama at Tuscaloosa in a thrilling game they fought back in the Second Half to almost pull off the win. Carson Beck and the Dawgs have beaten Ole Miss 11 of the last 12 times and pounded them last year and are 33-13-1 lifetime vs their SEC-founding teams rivalry. This Georgia vs Mississippi prediction is for the Bulldogs to cover ATS, and obviously win SU.
BYU vs Utah 11/9/24 Game Information
| When: | Saturday, November 9, 2024 at 10:15 ET/7:15 PT |
| Where: | Rice-Eccles Stadium, Salt Lake City, Utah |
| BYU vs Utah Money Line: | BYU -180 |
| Total: | 40.5 |
| TV: | ESPN |
Third Leg of Parlay
No. 9 BYU (8-0, 5-0 in Conference) faces in-state rival Utah (4-4, 1-4 in Conference) in a Big 12 game from Salt Lake City, Utah on Saturday night. When the early line came out this summer, oddsmakers made the Utes massive 17-point chalks but now come the week of the game, we see the Cougars as 2.5-point chalks so that’s a 19.5 spread move and proof BYU is way better than everyone imagined and Utah was a pretender. One thing to think about in this year’s installment of the Holy War, is that Utah would love nothing more than to burst the Cougars bubble and ruin their perfect season. But the Utes come in losers of four in a row and have scored just 50 points in their last four outings while QB Retzlaff (1,872 passing yards, 18 TD, 7 interceptions) and BYU have scored 188 points. Against common opponent Arizona, BYU won by 22 points (41-19) while Utah lost to the Wildcats—the worst FBS team ATS—by 13 points (23-10). This BYU vs Utah prediction is for the Cougars to win outright and also probably cover ATS.
