Trevor Lawrence will face a stiff test at B.C.

This is the last week before the rivalry games kick in. It is a good week to bet because it will get harder from here. Here are my picks for week 11.

Ole Miss at Texas A&M (-13, 67.5): Texas A&M has struggled on the road but they have been tough at home in Jimbo Fisher’s first season. They should cover what is a manageable number for a home favorite.

Navy (+24.5, 64.5) at Central Florida: Navy’s defense is awful but the Midshipmen can run the ball and that will help them hang around in this game. Take the goats as a road dog.

TCU at West Virginia (-11.5, 55.5): SHOOTOUT ALERT. I expect a high scoring game here but West Virginia will win and cover. Too many weapons for Gary Patterson to stop.

Wisconsin (-8, 53) at Penn State: I think Wisconsin’s ability to pound the back will keep this game close. That’s why I’m taking the Badgers as a road dog. I think Penn State will win this game but only by a field goal.

Vanderbilt at Missouri (-16, 63): I don’t see Derek Mason’s defense slowing down Drew Lock and company. Give me the Tigers to cover easily.

South Carolina at Florida (-6.5, 54): Despite both teams being out of the SEC East hunt, expect a great game. It’s a border battle. These games are always tight. I like Florida at home as a touchdown favorite.

Ohio State at Michigan State (+4, 48): Ohio State is not a national title contender and a loss to Michigan State will reinforce that notion.

Michigan at Rutgers (+37.5, 47.5) This game will be over at the end of the first quarter.

Kentucky at Tennessee (+5, 41): Yeah, why not. I’m totally buying into the notion that Kentucky will have a let down after losing to Georgia last week.

Baylor (+16.5, 51) at Iowa State: Iowa State being favored by three scores is absurd. Give me Baylor as a road dog to keep this game close. Matt Rhule’s Team has played tough this season.

Oklahoma State at Oklahoma (-21.5, 80): It’s early for Bedlum but don’t expect much push back here. Oklahoma should roll in this game and cover with ease.

Northwestern (-10, 42.5) at Iowa: Big game in the Big Ten West Division. Something tells me that the Wildcats are going to come to play and make this a tight game.

Washington State at Colorado (+6.5, 62): Give me the Buffs at home. They need to win to become bowl eligible and Washington State struggles on the road.

Mississippi State at Alabama (-23.5, 52) : I’m taking Bama but with great trepidation. Mississippi State’s defense is pretty good and they could keep this game closer than the spread.

Oregon at Utah (-4, 53.5): Give me the Utes. Oregon runs hot and cold on the road. The Utes get a big win in the race for the PAC-12 South.

South Florida (+14, 55) at Cincinnati: Cincy has been recalling of late. Give me the Bulls as a road dog to cover.

Auburn at Georgia (-13.5, 52.5): The oldest rivalry in the south will be competitive for a half but Georgia is playing better which does not bode well for Auburn. I like the Dawgs at home.

Texas (-2, 62) at Texas Tech: Texas has burned before but I’m a glutton for punishment. I am banking on Todd Orlando’s defense making a stop down the stretch. They will. I like Texas.

LSU (-12, 48) at Arkansas: Tigers bounce back with a nice road win in Fayetteville against a bad Arkansas team.

Florida State at Notre Dame (-16.5, 51): The Irish will be without Ian Book but it won’t matter. Florida State is underwhelming in every phase of the game right. They can’t do anything right. Irish roll.

Clemson at Boston College (+18.5, 55): I think the Eagles will play Clemson tough and keep this one close for three quarters before Clemson pulls away.

Oregon State at Stanford (-24, 61.5): Stanford covers no problem at home against an undermanned Oregon State team.

California at Southern California (-4, 45.5): I’m taking the Fighting Helton’s but something tells me I am going to regret this pick.
