Week 11 CFB Parlay odds: +708
CFB Parlay Pick: Penn State Nittany Lions alt spread -13.5 over Minnesota Golden Gophers (+100)
It was looking like this was going to be something of a lost season for Penn State after it dropped four consecutive games following a 3-0 start. However, Matt Campbell's group bounced back nicely after the bye week with wins over Purdue and Washington to right the ship and get the season back on course. Rocco Becht is playing better under center and the ground game has noticeably picked up in the last few weeks. On the other side, the Gophers have to be at the end of their rope, having just played Iowa, Indiana and UCLA over the last three weeks. Now, the Gophers have to hit the road for a matchup against a rejuvenated team that should be able to generate some explosive plays, and put the Minnesota offense behind the eight ball early on. Minnesota is not built to win from behind, so I could see this game being one where the Nittany Lions hang a big number at home.

CFB Parlay Pick: Arizona Wildcats ML over Utah Utes (-102)
The best situational spot of the week comes in Tucson, where Arizona is getting to play Utah after the Utes won an emotional game in the Holy War a week ago. The Utes are ranked inside the top five nationally, but this is a team that is being power rated more like a top 10-15 side, and for good reason. After all, Devon Dampier and company have been pretty fortunate in a few of their wins this season, and the matchup against Arizona could be the spot where they finally trip up. Utah’s defense can be attacked through the air, and that’s where Noah Fifita and Arizona like to live — with the Wildcats sitting at 11th in EPA per pass for the season. Elsewhere, Wayshawn Parker is banged up and if he isn't in the lineup or at full strength, the Utes ground attack will take a bit hit against the Arizona front seven. Look for the Wildcats to win a shootout at home to snap Utah’s undefeated season.
CFB Parlay Pick: Fresno State Bulldogs alt spread +7.5 vs Texas State Bobcats (+104)
For the final leg of our parlay, we'll go to the Pac-12 for a matchup between Fresno State and Texas State. After struggling early in the season, the Bobcats have vaulted into second place in the Pac-12 standings and has the inside track on making the conference title game. However, they'll will now be operating in the favorite role, which has not been a profitable endeavor for this program in recent years. On the other side, Fresno State came out flat against Utah State a week ago following its win over Oregon State the week prior. This time around, I expect a much better showing from Matt Entz's group, and they should see success against a Bobcats defense that is outside the top 100 in EPA per play and success rate allowed. On the other side of the ball, Texas State should score plenty — as it usually does — but the Bulldogs defense is still a top 50 unit nationally in EPA per play allowed, so they should do enough to hang within one possession.
