A Las Vegas Review-Journal handicapper is looking to rebound from a losing Saturday with five best bets for Week 11 of the college football season. The report highlights Hawaii's late-night home games under coach Timmy Chang, noting the Warriors are 14-6 against the spread as home underdogs. Hawaii is 1-1 in that role this season, failing to cover against UNLV but covering as a 14-point underdog in a loss to New Mexico.
The handicapper leans toward Hawaii catching 7 points against North Dakota State at BetMGM, citing the Bison's road losses at New Mexico and UNLV and a low total of 38.5. Hawaii's defense has allowed just 20.7 points in six conference games, while North Dakota State managed only 23 total points in its two Mountain West losses.
Michigan State is another selection after the Spartans snapped a six-game skid with a 15-6 win at Michigan as two-touchdown underdogs. Quarterback Alessio Milivojevic returned as Michigan State forced four turnovers and held a 298-192 yardage edge. The handicapper makes the Washington game a pick-em, suggesting the Huskies lack motivation for the long trip to East Lansing.
The report notes Indiana coach Curt Cignetti was 27-2 straight up and 20-9 against the spread in his first two years, but the Hoosiers are 1-8 ATS this season despite an 8-1 record. Quarterback Josh Hoover has struggled with an arm injury since an October loss to Ohio State, and Indiana will be without running back Turbo Richard and defensive lineman Kellan Wyatt.
Regarding USC at Indiana, the line moved as high as 11 points amid unfounded rumors that Trojans quarterback Jayden Maiava was injured in practice. The handicapper took Indiana at +10 and plans to stick with the underdog, though trusting Lincoln Riley on the road remains difficult.
