Week 11 is full of tempting games and college football is anything but predictable. Favorites beware. Here are the five teams on upset alert.
As we get closer to the end of the season, upsets have more importance in conference races and the hunt for the College Football Playoff. Week 11 is no exception and with five ranked versus ranked games, there is no doubt this weekend will be a fun one.
In Week 10, there were two upsets correctly predicted. Miami over Virginia Tech was a simple one to guess. Picking Iowa to upset Ohio State was more bold, but nobody could have foreseen the shellacking the Buckeyes received in Iowa City.
The picks this week are centered around the Big Ten, but there are a couple other intriguing games as well. Read on to find out who faces trouble and as always, the odds are from Sportsbook Review.
After getting destroyed by Iowa last week, the Buckeyes find themselves again on upset alert as they host the Spartans. The winner of this one will most likely win the Big Ten East. Ohio State is favored by 15 points.
Michigan State is coming off a big win over Penn State and knows everything is in front of them. If they beat the Buckeyes, they could be looking at a trip to Indianapolis for the Big Ten championship. After last season’s 3-9 record, no one could have predicted a rebound like this for the Spartans.
Ohio State being favored by 15 is kind of stunning. Michigan State has proven they more can hold their own against quality competition and the Buckeyes are vulnerable. Sure Ohio State could have a bounce back game and prove Iowa was just a bad day, but Michigan State is highly motivated and playing with confidence. Expect a close, hard-nosed fight but the Spartans deliver an upset, knocking the Buckeyes out of the Big Ten and playoff race for good.
