SportsLine Model Backs Wake Forest, Ole Miss to Cover in Week 11 After 10,000 Simulations

Q: Which three mystery power-conference underdogs did the computer model project to win outright in Week 11?

The article does not publicly name the three teams. SportsLine says only that its full Week 11 package identifies “three underdogs who outright win in power-conference matchups,” and those selections are kept behind its paywalled picks. From the material provided, the only underdogs the model clearly leans toward are Wake Forest as a live dog at SMU and, in broader outside model coverage, Texas +4 at LSU and Arizona +2.5 against Utah as possible upset candidates. But those are informed inferences, not confirmed SportsLine disclosures. So the accurate answer is that the three “mystery” underdogs were not revealed in the published article or the accompanying public excerpts; they were available only through SportsLine’s complete Week 11 picks.

Wake Forest +1 is the model’s top Week 11 spread play, covering SMU in more than 60% of 10,000 simulations after the Demon Deacons went 7-2 ATS and won five straight by 20-plus points.
SMU has allowed 28 points in back-to-back games against ACC teams without winning league records, a weakness the model sees Wake Forest exploiting in Saturday’s noon ET matchup.
Ole Miss -1.5 is another recommended cover, with the Rebels projected to beat Oklahoma well over 50% of the time and the Over 49.5 landing in 60% of simulations.
Oklahoma enters off a win over Florida but is 4-9-1 ATS after victories since last season, while its offense ranks last in the SEC in rushing, second-worst in total offense and leads the league in turnovers.
The Week 11 slate also features first-time conference meetings shaped by realignment, including Texas at LSU in the SEC and USC at Indiana in the Big Ten.
