Just another conference week in the college football world, and that means another week of lower-scoring, closer games that are great targets for teasers.

NCAA Football 6-Point Teaser Picks for Week 11
Best Bet: Minnesota +11.5
While the Hawkeyes started off the season running hot in turnovers and turning them into points in an unsustainable way, reality has hit, and this is simply a fine Big Ten West team with a horrible offense and a great defense.
The Golden Gophers have run into injury issues, but they’re a talented team that should be able to keep this one very, very close throughout. This is an easy pick at the number, getting through 6, 7, and 10.
Best Bet: Penn State +7.5
Penn State had a rough stretch this season where they went from half of football away from being the #2 team in the country to being unranked two weeks later. The injury to Sean Clifford was clearly the issue there, and I think that Penn State is still a top 15ish team in the country.
We get them at home vs Michigan; a team there had plenty of success against in recent years.
Michigan has looked solid this season, but Penn State is clearly the most talented team the Wolverines have played this season, and I think this team has generally struggled with athleticism over the last five years. Now, we get over a TD with the tease, and that’s a great spot.
Best Bet: TCU +19.5
Oklahoma State has been a great team this season, and TCU is a bit leaky on the defensive side of the ball, but with the tease, this number just doesn’t make sense. We get through 14 and 17, and really we get from a close game to a blowout.
TCU had an injury at QB, and I really don’t think it was a big deal. I think the TCU offense is good enough to get points, and Oklahoma State will continue to struggle to blow teams out.
NCAA Football 10-Point Teaser Picks for Week 11
Boston College vs. Georgia Tech Picks
Best Bet: Boston College +12
Boston College got Phil Jurkovec back last week, and the team just looked much much better overall, and I think it’s given this team a bit of juice. Jurkovec isn’t 100%, or at least he wasn’t last week, but he is just the most NFL-ready guy on the field in this game, and he should keep this game close, and I think BC wins this game outright.
Best Bet: Baylor +15.5
Oklahoma is getting healthier after the bye week, but they have still struggled to put together anything near a complete game vs. a competent team, and Baylor is more than competent. I also love the athletes that Baylor has and the way they will stress this Oklahoma defense horizontally with the QB and RBs.
The number here is fantastic, getting through 6, 7, 10, 13, and 14, and this play feels great.
Best Bet: Ohio State +10.5
Ohio State has struggled offensively the last few weeks, but we are simply betting on talent against a Purdue team that is really just centered around their most talented players. I expect the Buckeyes to win this game by more than two scores, which is plenty for this number.
