College Football Picks and Parlays for Week 7: The Underdogs Come Through

It's the middle of the season, and while there are many big conference games, only two on Saturday feature ranked teams facing each other. We have same-game parlays for those two games backing the underdog. Let’s jump into our Week 7 college football picks and parlays.

All parlay odds come from some of the top US sportsbooks.

College Football Picks and Parlays

College Football Parlay #1: The Rebels Take the Horns

No. 7 Ole Miss (5-1) travels to No. 19 Texas, facing a Longhorns team that has lost two in a row.

FanDuel Sportsbook has Texas as a 3.5-point favorite with a total of 53.5.

• Ole Miss to win with the moneyline: Ole Miss has won two in a row, and in their last game they trounced a ranked Missouri team 31-3. Oh, how times have changed for Texas, as they have lost two in a row after being the top-ranked team in the nation. Arch Manning has gone from Heisman favorite to almost being benched, and Texas is without star edge rusher Colin Simmons, who leads the nation in sacks, due to injury. Trinidad Chambliss and the Rebels have beaten three ranked teams this season and will make it four when they beat Texas. I am backing them to win, so take the moneyline for better odds.
• Over 53.5 points: Texas has given up 27 points in each of their last two games, which were losses against unranked opponents. Ole Miss has totaled 83 points in the last two games and ranks 19th in the nation in scoring. This SEC clash will be far from a defensive battle, so take the Over.

The odds for this parlay are +334, so a $100 bet would pay $434, for a $334 profit.

College Football Parlay #2: Two Ranked Teams Look to Rebound

Sixth-ranked Indiana and 13th-ranked Alabama both lost their last games and look to rebound on Saturday.

FanDuel Sportsbook has Indiana as a 7.5-point favorite against Michigan, with a total of 52.5, and Alabama (-110) as a 13.5-point favorite facing Texas A&M, with a total of 51.5.

• Indiana vs. Michigan Under 42.5: Indiana is coming off a tough 19-15 loss to fourth-ranked Ohio State, and they have only totaled 35 points over the last two games. Michigan snapped its two-game skid with a 21-18 win over Penn State, and it has averaged only 18 ppg over the last three games. Both teams will run early and often, which should lead to a lower-scoring game. The winning bet has been the Under in Indiana’s last two games and in Michigan’s last three.
• Alabama to cover the 13.5-point spread: Hard to believe that Alabama has lost two in a row, but both came facing teams that are ranked in the top 15. Texas A&M is coming off a blowout win facing a minnow outside of the SEC, and they are only 1-3 in conference play. Bama cannot afford another loss to stay in the CFP race, and at home they will trounce the Aggies and cover the double-digit spread.

The odds for this parlay are +258, so a $100 bet would pay $358, for a $258 profit.

College Football Parlay #3: Big Late Game Out West

No. 10 Utah (6-0) puts their perfect record on the line as they host No. 14 Houston (5-1), who won a barnburner in their last game against a ranked Oklahoma State team.

BetMGM has Utah as a 6.5-point favorite with the total sitting at 56.5.

• Houston to cover the spread: Houston is 1-1 against ranked teams this season, and Utah has not faced a top-25 team. In the Utes' last three games, they have all been in the Big 12, where their opponents have a combined conference record of 1-8. They faced a 2-4 Colorado team in their last game and won only by a field goal. The Cougars have a solid ground game, and while they may not maul the Utes or even win, they will cover 6.5 points in what will be a close game.
• Over 56.5 points: Both of these teams rank in the top 12 in the nation in points per game, and there will be a lot of points scored in this game. The Cougars gave up 32 points in their last game, and while Utah ranks 11th in points allowed, they haven't faced an offense like the one Houston has.

Houston's parlay is +268, so a $100 bet would pay $368, for a $268 profit.

NCAAF Parlay: Houston to cover the spread and Over 56.5 points: (+268, BetMGM)

College Football Parlay #4: Top Dogs Show Teeth

Here is a three-leg parlay with player props from FanDuel featuring three players ranked at the top of their positions.

• Drew Mestemaker to pass for 300+ yards (+104): Oklahoma State QB Mestemaker ranks seventh in the nation in passing yards and has passed for over 300 yards in each of the last five games. He will do so again against a Colorado team ranked 69th in the nation in pass defense.
• DeSean Bishop 100+ rushing yards (-140): Tennessee RB Bishop has the third most rushing yards in the nation and over the last three games has averaged 172.3 rushing yards per game. He will get at least 100 yards on the ground against a South Carolina run defense that ranks a respectable 36th in the nation but gave up 122 rushing yards in its last game.
• Charlie Becker 60+ receiving yards (-230); Safer bet here for Becker, who ranks eighth in the nation in receiving yards and has over 60 in five of six games. Taking him at 60+ rather than 70+ because he'll face a Michigan pass defense.

The odds for this parlay are +402, so a $100 bet would pay $502, for a $402 profit.

NCAAF Parlay: Drew Mestemaker to pass for 300+ yards, DeSean Bishop 100+ rushing yards, and Charlie Becker 60+ receiving yards: (+402, FanDuel)
