CFB Week 11 Preview + Best Bets !!

Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith dive into this weeks College football slate. The guys have been hot. College Football Podcast: Week 11 Breakdown with Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith The College Football Podcast from Pregame.com delivered another deep dive into the sport’s biggest Week 11 matchups as hosts Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith broke down the betting angles, playoff implications, and standout performances shaping the season. The duo opened the show reflecting on a rough previous week after an earlier hot streak, then jumped straight into analysis of Texas Tech’s clash with BYU. Lonte emphasized the Red Raiders’ dominant defensive line and BYU’s reliance on the run, calling Texas Tech the clear side and liking the over thanks to their prolific scoring at home. From there, the conversation moved to Oregon vs. Iowa, where Griffin leaned toward the home dog and the under, anticipating a slugfest dictated by field position and strong defenses. Lonte noted Oregon’s inconsistent offense and Iowa’s capacity to rise against elite opponents, making it a tricky number hovering around six points. Next up was Missouri hosting Texas A&M, where the guys agreed Mizzou could hang tough by leaning on its ground game, exploiting A&M’s weakness against the run, and controlling tempo. Despite A&M’s unbeaten SEC run, Lonte pointed out the Aggies’ vulnerability in stopping power backs like Ahmad Hardy, giving the Tigers a shot to cover and push the under. The show wrapped with the LSU–Alabama rivalry, once a national spectacle and still a bettor’s delight. With Brian Kelly out, Lonte predicted the “new-coach bump” would spark LSU to compete deep into the fourth quarter, while Griffin backed the Tigers’ talent depth and recruiting base as key edges against an Alabama squad that has struggled to dominate weaker teams. The hosts agreed Bama’s defense and game-management lag behind its reputation, noting how NIL parity has leveled talent across the SEC. For best bets, Lonte offered a weekday MACtion appetizer—Ball State moneyline vs. Kent State—and LSU plus the points in Tuscaloosa. Griffin backed Oregon–Iowa under 40.5 as his top play.
