Action Network’s college football PRO picks have not only performed very well for bettors over the past couple of weeks, but they also featured some of the highest-profile matchups, which is a bit of an oddity.
On the other hand, while looking at Saturday’s Week 11 slate specifically, the sharpest college football picks are back to a mixed bag of big-time programs, with smaller matchups sprinkled in.
Remember, the name on the jersey doesn’t concern bettors who win over the long haul; all that matters is the value a game presents.
And when it comes down solely to value, here are Saturday’s three smartest college football picks for Week 11.
College Football Picks for Week 11
*College football odds as of Saturday morning
Virginia Tech vs. Duke Pick
12 p.m. ET | ESPN3
Virginia Tech vs. Duke gets us started in a game with a big model edge that sharps are already betting.
FanDuel Sportsbook opened the Hokies as 10.5-point favorites in this matchup and pros were quick to pounce on Virginia Tech and the points.
According to Action Labs’ Bet Signals, sharps have steamed the Hokies on three separate occasions, driving this spread down to VT +9.5 across the market.
Interestingly, even after the odds movement, the Action Network’s PRO Projections are still showing value on the underdog.
We project this spread at Virginia Tech +5.9, leaving a 7.2% edge for bettors still interested in scooping up the Hokies in this matchup.

Temple vs. Houston Pick
3 p.m. ET | ESPN+
This total was available at 58.5 earlier this week, but multiple waves of sharp action have hit the under, driving this line to a consensus of 56.5.
However, even after that odds movement, Action Network’s PRO Projections are still showing value with this under.
We project this number at 53.9, resulting in a 3.3% edge based on the widely-available 56.5.
