2021 NCAA Week 11 Picks

7:00 pm #11 Texas A&M (-2 1/2, 55 1/2) at #15 Ole Miss - This should be special. Both teams are 7-2, quality, ranked, and rocking. Rebels are probably a bit miffed that they're home underdogs and should not be trifled with, though A&M's defense has improved to second-best nationally, at 14.7 points allowed per game. Ole Miss defenders have something to prove and the Rebel offense can score from anywhere on the field.

Coin Flip: Ole Miss

Prediction: Rebels 24 Aggies 21

7:30 pm #9 Notre Dame (-5 1/2, 64 1/2) at Virginia - Virginia's three losses have all come against ranked opponents and they lost by wide margins, 59-39 at North Carolina, 37-17 vs. Wake Forest, and 66-49 at BYU. Figure the Irish to put another beatdown on the Cavaliers.

Coin Flip: Virginia

Prediction: Fighting Irish 42 Cavaliers 27

7:30 pm #16 NC State at #12 Wake Forest (-2, 66 1/2) - Other than a 31-30 loss at Miami and a 24-10 setback at Mississippi State, the Wolfpack have been perfect, running their record to 7-2 with a 28-14 win at Florida State last week. They're 4-1 in the ACC Atlantic division, right behind 5-0 Wake. Last week's 58-55 loss to North Carolina was a non-conference match-up outside the usual ACC rotation. Well, OK.

That weird situation sets the Wolfpack up for the game of the season for them. A win puts them in the driver's seat for the conference championship. Being that the Deacons have shown no interest in playing defense, this figures to be a high-scoring affair, but Wake should emerge the winner on their home turf.

Coin Flip: NC State

Prediction: Demon Deacons 45 Wolfpack 30

7:30 pm #25 Arkansas (-2 1/2, 59) at LSU - After losing 20-14 at Alabama last week in a charged environment, it would be natural for the 4-5 Tigers to suffer a letdown. Having the Razorbacks come to town isn't exactly what they need at this juncture as their season winds down.

Arkansas comes off a 31-28 home victory over Mississippi State and a win here makes them 7-3, with Alabama next week and Missouri to close out the season. An 8-4 record would look pretty good going into a bowl game.

Coin Flip: Arkansas

Prediction: Razorbacks 38 Tigers 24

8:00 pm TCU at #10 Oklahoma State (-13, 64 1/2) - Horned Frogs upended Baylor last week, 30-28, but have to play the Cowboys on the road this Saturday. That's a more difficult task, but the change of quarterbacks for TCU - from Max Duggan to Chandler Morris - has been a positive, as has been fill in coach, Jerry Kill. The Cowboys have racked up big wins the past two weeks (55-3 over Kansas, 24-3 at West Virginia), but may take the Frogs a bit too lightly. TCU won last season, 29-22.

Coin Flip: Oklahoma State

Prediction: Cowboys 30 Horned Frogs 24

10:30 pm #3 Oregon (-14, 57) at Washington State - The Ducks answered the call at Washington last week with a 26-16 victory. Washington State is 4-2, one game behind the Ducks and could take over first place in the PAC-12 North with a win.

They've had an extra week to prepare for this road test, and, having won four straight conference contests, the Cougars could spring a stunner.

Coin Flip: Oregon

Prediction: Cougars 29 Ducks 24
