3 Intriguing College Football Parlay Ideas From BetMGM
BetMGM's Colton Pool offers college football parlay ideas for Week 9
It’s been an exciting start to the season when it comes to college football betting, with plenty of exciting games and upsets. Things will only get more interesting as the season goes along, with the attention shifting towards the College Football Playoff. Looking at the college football odds board, here are some potential parlays with odds, payouts, and analysis:
Away Favorites Roll
Bets: USC -15.5 at Arizona, Arkansas -4 at Auburn
Odds: +264
Payout: $364 on $100 bet
Betting on away favorites is always dicey in college football unless you’re confident that you have a vastly superior team.
The USC Trojans have a prolific offense headed by Caleb Williams at quarterback, and they should have no issues with an Arizona Wildcats defense that is among the nation’s worst. The Arkansas Razorbacks rolled the BYU Cougars in Provo and are refreshed off a much-needed bye week following arguably the most challenging schedule in the country to date.
A road trip to Jordan-Hare will not scare them, considering what this team has gone through already, and Bryan Harsin is just waiting to get fired.
No Points, Please
Bets: Notre Dame at Syracuse Under 47, Temple at Navy Under 40.5
Odds: +264
Payout: $364 on $100 bet
These are two games that have a great chance of going under. The Syracuse Orange’s defense has been increasingly stingy, while the Notre Dame Fighting Irish’s offense has struggled against good competition.
Another low-scoring game could be the Temple Owls against the Navy Midshipmen, as both offenses have been stuck in the mud, and Navy’s triple-option attack should limit possessions.
Longshot Parlay
Bets: East Carolina +130 at BYU, Coastal Carolina +105 at Marshall, Pittsburgh +140 at North Carolina
Odds: +1031
Payout: $1,131 on $100 bet
This one is considered a long shot for a reason, so bear with me.
The East Carolina Pirates are playing excellent football and face a BYU team in defensive turmoil after getting torched by the Liberty Flames and a third-string quarterback.
Coastal Carolina has dominated most of the Sun Belt for three seasons and faces a Marshall Thundering Herd team with a terrible offense and virtually no passing attack.
The Pittsburgh Panthers haven’t looked great, but they should be able to run all over a North Carolina Tar Heels defense.
