Penn State has struggled against the elite programs in the Big Ten during James Franklin’s tenure as head coach. The Week 11 college football schedule gives the No. 10 Nittany Lions another chance to break this trend when they host No. 3 Michigan on Saturday at noon ET. Penn State is 3-6 against Michigan since 2014 but has won two of its last three games at home against Michigan. The Wolverines are 4.5-point favorites over Penn State in the latest Week 11 college football odds via SportsLine consensus.
Which side should you back in that matchup when making Week 11 college football bets? No. 2 Georgia (-10.5) hosts No. 9 Ole Miss in a matchup of top-10 teams. Do either of these teams possess value and are worthy of inclusion in Week 11 college football bets?

Top college football predictions for Week 11
One of the top college football picks Marshall is recommending for Week 11: Alabama (-10.5) covers at Kentucky in a noon ET SEC matchup.
Alabama (8-1) has won seven straight contests after losing to Texas in its second game of the season. The Crimson Tide are coming off a 42-28 win over LSU in their second straight 14-point victory. Quarterback Jalen Milroe had his first huge rushing performance of the season, rushing for 155 yards and four touchdowns last week while throwing for 219 yards.
Kentucky last lost three of its last four games and its defense has struggled against the SEC elite. The Wildcats surrendered 40.7 points per game over their last three losses, including allowing 51 points to Georgia. But the Kentucky offense has scored at least 21 points in three straight games. The Crimson Tide are averaging 31.9 points per game this season and this will be another tough offense for Kentucky to contain, which is why Marshall also likes the game to go Over 46 points.
