On the surface, we weren’t particularly close to hitting the parlay last week. However, all three of our losses were actually looking okay heading into the fourth quarter. Navy was covering, Wake Forest was up by 14 points and Kentucky was in with a shout. However, the trio faltered over the final 15 minutes, and we move on to our college football week 11 parlay a loser.
This week is fairly interesting because there is a lot of uncertainty. We don’t know how Texas A&M will do in their first true road test of the season. We also have no clear idea of how Oklahoma will perform at Baylor. It’s a similar story with Purdue and Ohio State.
With this being the case, the key to wagering is finding games that have good value. Let’s see what we came up with in The Touchback’s college football week 11 parlay. Odds via Fanduel Sportsbook.

The Touchback’s college football week 11 parlay
Boston College (+104) at Georgia Tech
The return of Phil Jurkovec sparked Boston College to a victory last week after four straight losses. He gave the Eagles a much needed passing element that had been missing during the losing streak, even if it wasn’t effective. Georgia Tech is in the midst of their own losing streak having dropped three in a row. The Yellow Jackets aren’t as bad as they have been in years past, but they also aren’t better than BC this week.
Washington (+198) vs Arizona State
Washington is undergoing a ton of upheaval at the moment. They fired Offensive Coordinator John Donovan on Monday and then found out Head Coach Jimmy Lake would be suspended for this contest. And while the Huskies offense may be beyond awful, they are scrappy and play hard. Which is exactly why Arizona State will be overlooking them this week.
The Sun Devils have already put up duds against Utah and Washington State, a pair of scrappy, play hard sides. Also, this is historically the type of game they lose under Herm Edwards. Yes, Arizona State should win this contest against an undermatched Washington. However, betting on them to lose in this scenario has usually paid off.
Ole Miss (+112) vs Texas A&M
Texas A&M has played only one true SEC road game this season and that was a trip to Columbia. Now, they won that matchup handily, but it is safe to say Ole Miss is a step up in competition. On the other hand, the Rebels are a perfect 6-0 at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in 2021. This could go either way but taking the home team as an underdog here is good value.
Wake Forest -2.5 (-106) vs North Carolina State
This is an overreaction line based on Wake Forest losing last week. I get that North Carolina State is ranked #16 with a 7-2 record. But the Wolfpack have literally played no one. They have beaten two teams with records above .500 (Clemson and Boston College) and haven’t looked overly impressive at any point. Despite falling to North Carolina, the Demon Deacons are still a really good team who should be able to win this contest by more than a field goal.
Parlay Total: Bet $10 to win $241.62
The college football week 11 parlay is interesting because we are only backing one road team. Of course, this may not mean anything in the grand scheme of things, but it also doesn’t hurt.
