It’s championship week with nine games on the Week 15 college football slate to determine conference winners and lay the foundation for the upcoming College Football Playoff. The lighter schedule should make games easier to handicap giving us a better chance of hitting a college football parlay at the Crypto Sportsbook. The one issue is that the games are expected to be closer. The biggest favorite on the Week 15 board is Tulane laying 6-points in the AAC title game to Army. The Black Knights get a home game by going undefeated in league play with their only setback coming in Week 13 to Notre Dame. Army is one of five teams that can win a conference title in its first season in their respective league. The other four are favored to win their games with Oregon laying 3.5-points to Penn State in the Big Ten, SMU giving 2.5-points to Clemson in the ACC, Arizona State favored by 2-points against Iowa State in the Big 12 and Texas a 2.5-point favorite against Georgia in the SEC.

I went big on the last college football parlay of the regular season with a four-team ticket. It didn’t matter as I was handed another loss with two of the wagers coming up losers. The Nebraska-Iowa game was a snoozefest. The Hawkeyes looked like what we’re used to seeing amassing 164 total yards yet they still won 13-10. The final was well below the total of 39.5. I also came up empty in the North Carolina-NC State matchup with the Wolfpack winning outright at +3.5. I mistakenly thought the Heels would show more emotion for lame-duch coach Mack Brown. I hit a pair of winners with Louisiana covering in its game with UL Monroe and Air Force covered in its 31-20 win over San Diego State.
The way things have gone I guess I should be happy with a split of four games, but it’s about winning and we all get another chance to do that this week. My first parlay wager comes in the Mountain West title game on Friday. Boise State can secure a spot in the CFP with a win as the highest rated G5 team. Their only loss was to top-ranked Oregon in a game the Broncos led into the fourth quarter.
Ashton Jeanty is a Heisman hopeful rushing for 2,288 yards and 28 touchdowns this season. No team has been able to stop him and the Rebels will be his next victim. The teams met in the title game last year in Vegas with the Broncos winning easily, 44-20, behind 153 yards and a TD from Jeanty. BSU also won in Vegas in Week 9, 29-24, and this game is on the Smurf Turf. Advantage Broncos.
I probably should have been backing the Ragin Cajuns sooner since they are 10-2 and boast the second-highest scoring offense in the Sun Belt. The teams are fairly evenly matched stats-wise and only one win separates them in the standings. Louisiana has a more balanced offense with Ben Wooldridge throwing for almost 2,400 yards and 17 TDs while Bill Davis and Zylan Perry have combined to rush for nearly 1,400 yards and 13 scores. The Cajuns have been just as good on defense helping forge a 10-2 record. They allow 22.8 points, second-best in the Sun Belt, and their secondary disrupts opponents with 15 interceptions. Having the best record earned Louisiana home field advantage and the Cajuns will protect their yard with a cover.
The SEC matchup between Texas and Georgia is another rematch from the regular season and the Longhorns will be looking to exact revenge for their only loss. The teams met in Austin in Week 9 with the Dawgs pulling out a 30-15 win over then No. 1 ranked Texas. UT couldn’t do anything right on offense allowing seven sacks with Quinn Ewers turning the ball over four times. The sack yards hurt the rushing total with UT managing just 29 yards on 27 attempts.
Texas can and will play better on that side of the ball putting pressure on a defense that’s prone to allowing big plays. And the Horns’ defense has been solid all year ranked second nationally in fewest points allowed. And Carson Beck will have a hard time penetrating the nation’s No. 1 pass defense.
