Carlos Osorio/Associated Press The Michigan State Spartans will take on the Ohio State Buckeyes as early two-point favorites in a Week 11 college football matchup with major implications for both teams’ hopes of finishing atop the Big Ten East and the College Football Playoff rankings. Winners of its last six straight up (4-2 against the spread), 7-1 Michigan State currently sits deadlocked with Ohio State at 4-0 in conference play ahead of Saturday night’s Buckeyes vs. Spartans betting matchup at Spartan Stadium. The Spartans are 5-1 ATS when favored by double digits, but they are winless ATS this season as underdogs and slim favorites. The 7-1 Buckeyes have been simply dominant since an early-season loss to Virginia Tech, winning their last six SU (5-1 ATS) and scoring 50-plus points in five of those outings. The Buckeyes also have history on their side, winning SU and ATS in four of their last five visits to East Lansing, Michigan, but they were 34-24 losers as 5.5-point road favorites against the Spartans last season. The TCU Horned Frogs are pegged as early six-point favorites on Saturday against Kansas State, according to the opening lines at Odds Shark in a battle for top spot in the Big 12 and continued consideration in the CFP rankings. The 7-1 Wildcats are coming off a convincing 48-14 win over Oklahoma State, their fifth straight SU and sixth straight ATS. The win moved K-State to a perfect 5-0 in Big 12 action and into sole possession of first in the conference. The Wildcats are pegged as dogs despite a pair of wins in their most recent meetings with TCU and a dominating 13-1 record ATS in their last 14 as road underdogs. The Horned Frogs needed a last-minute field goal to earn a 31-30 win over upstart West Virginia last weekend, but they have otherwise been an offensive machine, averaging over 60 points per game in their three previous outings, with the OVER prevailing in four of their last six games. In other Week 11 college football betting action, Florida State opened as a 21.5-point home favorite over ACC rival Virginia at sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark, while Auburn will look to build on its Week 10 win over Ole Miss when it takes on Texas A&M as early 14.5-point home favorites.
