College Football Same Game Parlay Picks: Week 3
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
#6 Ohio State at #9 Notre Dame
- Leg 1: Notre Dame Moneyline (+130)
- Leg 2: Audric Estime Over 77.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
- Leg 3: Kyle McCord Under 261.5 Passing Yards (-114)
Notre Dame is not getting the credit they deserve. The defensive efficiency has carried over from last season. The run game is strong, but they’ve added the passing element they lacked last year. Sam Hartman has been one of the best quarterbacks in the nation, and his passing yards and passer efficiency over the previous two seasons was second behind only C.J. Stroud. The fact they’re underdogs in South Bend is surprising. Yet, I still believe they pull off the win.
Audric Estime has been one of the best running backs in the country. His 521 rushing yards and astonishing 8.3 yards per carry lead the nation and have helped open the passing for Hartman. As a result, the Irish have scored 40+ in each game.
Kyle McCord has been great this year and deserved the starting role, but this is a tough matchup. Western Kentucky and Indiana are the two FBS teams he’s faced, and both finished outside of the top 70 in passing defense last season. Notre Dame was 13th, and they’ve allowed the third-fewest passing yards this season.
Parlay Odds: +710
#5 USC at Arizona State
- Leg 1: USC -34.5 (-118)
- Leg 2: Caleb Williams Over 287.5 Passing Yards (-114)
- Leg 3: Drew Pyne Under 167.5 Passing Yards (-114)
The Trojans are once again the best offense in the country, as they’re nearly scoring 60 points per game. They also have no problem continuing to press on the gas with big leads. Just look at the game against Stanford. ASU will be down their starting quarterback, Jaden Rashada, and we saw how tough it was to score without him behind center last week.
Caleb Williams has been playing on a whole other stratosphere since he stepped onto the field at Oklahoma and has continued that at USC. Leading the country in passer efficiency and Heisman Trophy odds, he’s been able to light up every opponent. In the last game against Stanford, even up 40 points, they were still going to the air.
Last week against Fresno State was a disaster for the Sun Devils. With Rashada out, Trenton Bourguet got the start and left with an injury. Drew Pyne came in and also left with an injury, then was replaced by Jacob Conover. It didn’t matter who was playing; they all struggled. Pyne was not very good at Notre Dame and hasn’t improved from what we’ve seen.
Parlay Odds: +551
#16 Oklahoma at Cincinnati
- Leg 1: Over 57.5 (-110)
- Leg 2: Dillon Gabriel Over 263.5 Passing Yards (-114)
- Leg 3: Emory Jones Over 31.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
After a rough first season, year No. 2 of the Brent Venables era is much better, as Oklahoma has started 3-0. Enormous credit goes to the offense, as their 55.7 points per game is third-best in the nation. They take on Cincinnati, who’s also been playing well on offense, and they’re 30th in the country. Both teams have put up 60+ in a game this season and have gone over this total in two of three games. Anything below 60 is generous.
Dillon Gabriel is a fun quarterback to watch. He was spectacular during his time at Central Florida, and the move to Oklahoma and Big 12 has not phased him. 2022 was his third season with 3,000+ passing yards. He’s projected to get there again with 905 yards through three games.
Emory Jones hit the transfer portal for the second time after being one-and-done with Arizona State. It was definitely for the better, as he’s already matched his touchdown total from last year, and his 8.9 yards per completion would be a career-best. I’m looking at his rushing yards because he does like to use his legs to push the ball. Oklahoma has been great against the run, but they haven’t seen a quarterback like Jones, and this is another total set low.
Parlay Odds: +573
