NFL Week 10 & NCAAF Week 11 Best Bets
- Georgia Tech +11.5 vs. Miami – 12 pm ET
- North Texas +4.5 vs. Army – 3:30 pm ET
- Vanderbilt +6.5 vs. South Carolina – 4:15 pm ET
- Penn State -12.5 vs. Washington – 8 pm ET
- Utah +3.5 vs. BYU – 10:15 pm ET (NCAAF Pick of the Week)

- Atlanta Falcons -3.5 vs. New Orleans Saints – 1 pm ET
Georgia Tech +11.5 vs. Miami – 12 pm ET on ESPN
It appears Georgia Tech will have QB Haynes King back for their matchup against Miami. His return comes at a great time, as he could have some instant success against a Miami defense that has struggled in recent weeks.
In their last 5 games, Miami has allowed 32.4 points. They have also allowed 297 or more passing yards in 3 of their last 4 games, with the only strong defensive performance coming against a terrible Florida State team.
Georgia Tech may not have the defense to slow down Miami consistently, but the return of LB Kyle Efford should help, and the GT offense will be able to score enough to cover the spread on Saturday afternoon.

North Texas +4.5 vs. Army – 3:30 pm ET on ESPN2
Army may be undefeated, but their record is much less impressive when you look closer. They have only one win against a team above .500 all year (East Carolina). The combined record of their 7 opponents in the FBS is just 18-42.
Now they will be stepping up in class to play 5-3 North Texas. The combined record of the opponents in North Texas’ 3 losses is 20-7.
North Texas has the rest advantage here, coming off a bye week. Army is also dealing with an injury to their starting QB Bryson Daily. Even if he plays Saturday, it’s uncertain if he will be 100%.
Look for North Texas to keep this close, and perhaps even hand Army their first loss of the season.

Vanderbilt +6.5 vs. South Carolina – 4:15 pm ET on SECN
This is a classic letdown spot for South Carolina following their upset victory at home over Texas A&M last week.
Now they travel on the road to face a Vanderbilt team that continues to defy expectations this season.
Vanderbilt is 6-3 on the season and hasn’t lost any of their games by more than 4 points. This includes a 3-point loss to Texas at home a few weeks back.
These teams are relatively evenly matched on both sides of the ball. Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia has proven to be a difference maker this season and I expect some more magic out of him Saturday as Vanderbilt covers and has a good chance at an outright win.

Penn State -12.5 vs. Washington – 8 pm ET on Peacock
Washington has not handled travel well at all this year, going 0-3 when traveling east for Big 10 games. They have losses at Indiana, Rutgers, and Iowa, with only the Rutgers game being by less than 2 touchdowns.
Penn State, despite the loss to Ohio State, remains firmly in the playoff picture if they win out.
The atmosphere will be electric, as this is the annual White Out game for Penn State.
This is a great matchup for Penn State as well, they rank 3rd in the conference in rushing, while the Washington defense ranks 14th against the run, so that will be a major advantage for Penn State.
Look for Penn State to get back on track with a win and cover Saturday night.

NCAAF Pick of the Week: Utah +3.5 vs. BYU – 10:15 pm ET on ESPN
Utah may be struggling this season, but when the Holy War takes center stage on Saturday night, you can throw all of that out the window.
BYU has not had success against Utah recently, dropping 9 of the last 10 games between the teams. You actually have to go back to 2000 to find the last time Utah lost at home by more than a FG to BYU.
Utah will most certainly work the run game and, if there is one area of concern for BYU, it is their rushing defense that is allowing 146.5 yards per game on the ground.
While the Utah offense has struggled, the defense continues to be one of the best units in the country, ranking 14th against the pass, allowing just 169.5 yards against per game.
Look for this to be a very close hard fought game, take Utah getting 3 or more at home.

NFL Pick of the Week: New York Giants vs. Carolina Panthers UNDER 40.5 – 9:30 am ET on NFL Network (Germany Game)
Two of the worst teams in the NFL will travel thousands of miles to play in Germany this weekend.
Don’t expect a lot of points when these two teams take the field.
Neither team has done much offensively all year. The Panthers rank 30th, putting up just 277.9 yards per game, while the Giants are not much better, ranking 26th, putting up 306.1 yards per game. The Giants average only 15.4 points per game and the Panthers average only 16.3 points per game.
On the flip side, neither defense is great, but both teams are better on that side of the ball. With both defensive units facing weaker offenses, look for them to both have more success than usual and limit points scored by the opposing team.
Between the long travel and poor play of both teams it is easy to see this one staying under 40.5.

Atlanta -3.5 vs. New Orleans Saints – 1 pm ET on FOX
The Saints are an absolute mess. They have dropped to 2-7 on the season, losing 7 straight games. They have fired head coach Dennis Allen, but don’t expect any immediate improvement from a team with a lot of issues.
Their defense is one of the worst in the league, ranking 28th, giving up 376.4 yards per game.
Their offense is middle of the pack, but those numbers rely largely upon 47 and 44-point performances in their first 2 games. It’s gone far downhill since. The Saints are averaging just 16.4 points per game during their 7-game losing streak.
The Falcons, meanwhile, are playing some of their best football of the year, winning 3 in a row and 5 of their last 6 overall. The offense has found its stride, averaging over 28 points per game during the last 6 games.
This is a case of two teams heading in opposite directions. Take the Falcons to win and cover Sunday.
