**SportsLine Expert Bruce Marshall Unleashes Week 11 College Football Picks, Backs Oklahoma State in Bedlam**

NEW YORK – Bruce Marshall, SportsLine’s esteemed college football analyst, has unveiled his highly anticipated Week 11 predictions and best bets, offering subscribers a roadmap for Saturday’s crucial matchups on November 11, 2023. Marshall enters the week with an impressive 2023 record of 18-11 overall, bolstered by an even stronger 16-8 performance on his top-tier best bets. His consistent accuracy has been a hallmark, marked by a 55-34 run against the spread to close out the 2022 season and a stellar 7-2 record during the 2021 bowl season.

For Week 11, Marshall is particularly bullish on four key contests, leveraging his deep understanding of team dynamics, recent trends, and historical data.

**Oklahoma State (+6.5) vs. Oklahoma (Bedlam Rivalry)**
In one of the most storied rivalries in college football, Marshall is backing Oklahoma State to cover the spread against Oklahoma. His analysis points to Oklahoma’s defensive struggles against the run, a significant vulnerability against Oklahoma State’s potent ground attack, spearheaded by the dynamic Ollie Gordon II. The Cowboys have also been a reliable bet against the spread, covering in their last five outings. Marshall foresees a tight Bedlam battle, predicting a final score closer to Oklahoma winning 31-28, which would allow Oklahoma State to cover the 6.5-point spread. This game holds extra weight as the final Bedlam game for the foreseeable future with Oklahoma’s impending move to the SEC.

**Ole Miss (-3.5) vs. Texas A&M**
Marshall has identified Ole Miss as a strong candidate to cover their -3.5 spread when they host Texas A&M. He emphasizes the Rebels’ formidable offense at home, contrasting it with Texas A&M’s struggles on the road this season. Historically, Ole Miss has been excellent in Oxford, covering in seven of their last ten home games. Marshall projects Ole Miss to secure a comfortable 31-24 victory, showcasing their home-field dominance.

**LSU (-14.5) vs. Florida**
Confidence is high for Marshall regarding LSU’s ability to cover the -14.5 spread against Florida. He highlights LSU’s explosive offense, led by Heisman-contending quarterback Jayden Daniels and elite wide receiver Malik Nabers, as a major factor. Marshall believes this potent duo will exploit Florida’s defensive weaknesses, particularly when playing on the road. Coupled with LSU’s formidable home-field advantage, he predicts a decisive 45-27 win for the Tigers.

**Washington (-3) vs. USC**
Despite USC’s recent coaching change on the defensive side, Marshall remains unconvinced that their defense will dramatically improve in time to slow down Washington’s high-octane offense. He notes the Huskies’ powerful attack, orchestrated by quarterback Michael Penix Jr., and their strong road performances. Marshall expects Washington to overcome USC on their home turf with a projected 41-35 victory, covering the -3 spread.

Beyond these featured best bets, Marshall has delved into several other significant matchups scheduled for this Saturday. His full slate of predictions includes Ohio State at Michigan State, Utah at Washington, Georgia at Missouri, Notre Dame at Clemson, Florida State at Pittsburgh, Penn State at Maryland, Kentucky at Mississippi State, UCF at Cincinnati, Kansas at Iowa State, and Texas at Kansas State.
