For the second straight week I came close to hitting a three-team parlay only to be undone on the spread. In Week 5 it was Fresno State giving up points in the fourth quarter and failing to cover. Last week wasn’t so dramatic with my pick Kentucky at +14.5 getting blown out by No. 1 ranked Georgia. I wasn’t all that impressed with the Bulldogs, which is why I backed the dog, but the Dawgs came to play putting together their most complete game of the season to beat the Wildcats 51-10. I say it every week because it’s true: winning a parlay at a crypto sportsbook is hard to do.
With the loss out of the way, and really that’s all that matters in a parlay since one defeat sends your ticket to the shredder, we can see what went right. I’m getting close to a winner I can feel it and I had solid picks to prove it. I knew the Red River Rivalry would be different than what we saw last year and with Dillon Gabriel shredding Texas it was. Gabriel didn’t play last season and he was the difference in OU’s upset win. Good thing I backed them at +6.5. I’ve also been impressed with Oregon State and D.J. Uiagalelei, who tossed five TD passes to get me a win on the OVER against Cal.

I’m stepping out of my comfort zone with some of my Week 7 parlay picks. I usually don’t bet a game with a spread over 30 or bet the OVER on a total of 66.5, but sometimes you have to do things different to make an impact. The Georgia Bulldogs spoiled my parlay last week and they’re hitting their stride, which is trouble for the rest of college football. I actually thought the spread might be a little higher since Vanderbilt has lost five in a row and is 0-7 ATS this year. And they’ve had zero success against UGA the last two meetings getting outscored 117-0 with the spread in those games higher than the 31.5 we see on the board for Saturday’s matchup.
We know Georgia’s defense is elite and the offense started to show signs lately. It’s hard to criticize a team that averages over 40 points and dropped a season-high 51 on Kentucky last week, but the group has been the weak link. Perhaps no longer. Carson Beck was outstanding last week hitting 80 percent of his passes for 389 yards and four TDs. Over his last three games Beck averaged 346.7 passing yards with eight TDs.
TCU had a marvelous run last year reaching the CFP, but the Frogs have plummeted back to earth with two straight upset losses leaving them at 3-3. They fell to West Virginia 24-21 as a 13.5-point favorite and last week they were stunned 27-14 by Iowa State laying 6.5-points. And they move forward without the services of starting QB Chandler Morris, who sustained a knee injury against the Cyclones. Redshirt freshman Josh Hoover is expected to start for the first time on Saturday.
BYU has been a nice addition to the Big 12 and the Cougs earned their first conference win last week beating Cincinnati 35-27 improving to 4-1. Kedon Slovis led an efficient offense throwing for 223 yards and two TDs and the defense chipped in with a score. BYU has the edge at QB and that’s the difference for them covering the 5.5-point line.
My parlay winner will hit in the Pac-12 confrontation between Oregon and Washington. Two electric offensive teams led by Heisman Trophy hopefuls should put on a show. Oregon’s Bo Nix and UW’s Michael Penix Jr. have combined for 31 TDs and only three interceptions while leading the best offenses in the country. Washington averages 569.4 yards to rank first while OU tallies 557.8 to rank second nationally. The QBs combined for 688 passing yards with two TDs each and the teams totaled over 1,100 yards between them in Washington’s 37-34 win last year. Yeh, I’ll hammer the OVER.
