Stanford Steve and The Bear: Week 11 college football picks, bets, nuggets

What's in store for this week in college football?

"Stanford Steve" Coughlin and Chris "The Bear" Fallica break down Week 11 of the season as only they can, offering their top bets, nuggets, games to stay away from and a special money-line underdog parlay to jump on.

With the season in full swing, the guys are ready to continue their prognostications. Here we go with Week 11 picks.


The plays

Stanford Steve (3-2 last week, 27-22-2 overall)

The Bear (1-3 last week, 22-20-1 overall)


Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at Virginia Cavaliers (-16, 46)

The Bear: The Yellow Jackets have improved throughout the year, especially over the past couple of weeks -- on the defensive side of the football -- against Pitt and Miami, but the offense isn't up to speed yet. Virginia got a brilliant game from Bryce Perkins in the win at North Carolina, but I can see a bit of a slow start in an early kickoff for the Cavaliers, who are two wins away from a berth in the ACC title game. Virginia has five games with multiple turnovers, and half of the turnovers that the Cavaliers have forced this season came in one game, against Duke. Virginia has struggled against the run recently too, so it wouldn't surprise me at all to see the Jackets hang around here after the Cavs posted a season high in yards and a turnover-free game last week.

Pick: Georgia Tech +16
