College Football Parlay Bets for Week 11
It sure is great to have all ten FBS conferences all back in action. It’s that much easier to put together promising college football parlays when there are 50 games to choose from as opposed to the slates of ten that we were getting back in the early weeks of the season. Bettors must still be cautious in their approach and stay up to date on all news and information related to the coronavirus. Despite several of this week’s marquee games have already been postponed, there are still several lines worth having some action on. Read on for the featured college football parlays for Week 11.

Week 11 College Football Parlay No. 1
From backing a sizable SEC underdog against the spread to a total play on an in-state Conference USA rivalry, we’ve got a little bit of everything in our first Week 11 featured college football parlay. Combining these two wagers with a pair of comfortable moneyline favorites results in a four-leg parlay with payout odds of +524.
Arkansas (+17.5)
It’s impossible to say Florida’s talented offense won’t get theirs. With Heisman candidate Kyle Trask leading the way, the Gators made a mockery of a highly regarded Georgia defense in last week’s convincing win. The status of Trask’s favorite target, tight end Kyle Pitts, is in doubt. His absence would only help the Razorbacks defense and coordinator Barry Odem, who will be the acting head coach Saturday as well due to Sam Pittman testing positive for the coronavirus. I also believe that former Florida QB Feleipe Franks and the Arkansas offense can score on what has been a vulnerable Gators defense. Considering that this game could be a potential letdown spot for the Gators after last week’s huge Cocktail Party win, 17.5 points is just too many to spot the Hogs.
North Carolina State (-315)
Florida State is bad. Really bad. Other than an upset win over North Carolina, the team has failed to impress at any point this season. NC State fell just short of upsetting Miami last week. The offense hasn’t missed a beat despite being forced to transition to backup quarterback Bailey Hockman in the wake of Devin Leary’s injury. The total on this game has steamed upward from the opening number, with both sides expected to score points. A talented group of Wolfpack linebackers could prove to be the X-factor.
Ole Miss (-345)
Ole Miss comes into this week’s home game fresh off a bye week. The South Carolina team that will be lining up opposite the Rebels at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium has been trending in the wrong direction of late. After taking one on the chin against LSU two weeks ago, the Gamecocks failed to show much of any fight in a 48-3 loss to Texas A&M last Saturday. Ole Miss doesn’t sport a great defense, but Lane Kiffin’s offense will be far and away the best unit on the field in this one.
UTEP vs. UTSA (Under 45.5)
The total on this all-Texas Conference USA battle has already plummeted from an opening line of 54.5, but it’s not too late to buy in. Thanks to injuries, the quarterback position is a major question mark for UTSA going forward. It’s an unfortunate situation for Jeff Traylor’s team, which has played strong defense throughout the season. Most notably, the Roadrunners held BYU to 27 points in a narrow road loss last month. UTEP also brings its own offensive question marks and solid defense to the table. The current over/under line of 45.5 remains too high for a game that may not see either side exceed 20 points.
Note: Both teams have been dealing with a slew of COVID-19 issues in recent weeks, but Saturday’s game is still on at the time of this writing.
Week 11 College Football Featured Parlay No. 2
Our second featured College Football parlay for Week 11 blends the American, Pac-12, and Sun Belt conferences together for a three-leg ticket with +323 odds.
Tulsa (-2.5)
Any time a ranked team is catching points, as No. 19 SMU is in advance of their matchup against an unranked Tulsa team, it’s a major red flag. After coming up well short in their bid for AAC supremacy against Cincinnati three weeks ago, quarterback Shane Buechele and the SMU offense have managed to right the ship against Navy and Temple in their last two games. Both of those teams notably sport defenses far inferior to a Tulsa unit that ranks 24th in points allowed per game (21.2) on the season. I also like senior Golden Hurricane quarterback Zach Smith and standout receiver Keylon Stokes to have a strong showing against an SMU defense that has provided little resistance this season. Don’t fall for what will likely be a trap line for many public bettors.
California (+3.5)
A week after backing Herm Edwards and Arizona State ATS, I’m opting to play against them in their home opener with California coming to town. Justin Wilcox’s defense lost several key contributors, but there is no reason to believe the Bears won’t be a menacing defensive force once again in 2020. This could cause major problems for Sun Devils QB Jayden Daniels and what is a very young offense overall. Chase Garbers and the Cal offense should be able to do enough to keep this game tight with a real shot to score an outright upset.
Appalachian State (-625)
Appalachian State opened as a sizable 15-point home favorite for their contest against Georgia State this week. The betting market has affirmed a likely comfortable Mountaineers win, moving the line up to 16 and beyond at some shops. It’s a perfect moneyline favorite to help round out our parlay.
