College Football Week 1 Same Game Parlay Picks (2023)

North Carolina (-2.5) vs. South Carolina, Total 64.5

Leg 1: North Carolina over 32.5 Total Points (-115)

North Carolina was one of the fastest teams in the country last season, as their 76.6 plays per game was 15th. With Drake Maye still commanding this offense, they should continue that pace against South Carolina.

Leg 2: Over 64,5 Total Points (-108)

The Tar Heels and Gamecocks showed they could put up the points. They each came with a high-octane offense, but they had to because neither defense was good. South Carolina ranked 87th in points allowed, and North Carolina at 102nd. Bank on a high-scoring game.

Leg 3: Drake Maye over 276 Passing Yards (-114)

Drake Maye had an impressive 2022 season, and that’s why he’s on the Heisman watch, and many project him to be a top pick in the 2024 draft. He will face a South Carolina pass defense that was in the top 50 last season, but that hasn’t stopped him in the past. He had more than 276 passing yards in two of the three games when he faced a passing defense ranked inside the top 50 last season.

Odds: +576

Oregon State (-16.5) vs. San Jose State, Total 55

Leg 1: Oregon State -16.5 (-118)

San Jose State stayed competitive in the first half of the game against USC with a seven-point deficit at halftime. They couldn’t keep up with the offensive pace of the Trojans and suffered the 56-28 loss. Oregon State will not have that type of offensive power, but they do bring a talented offense that’s capable of covering this spread. 

Leg 2: Under 55.5 Total Points (-118)

As mentioned, the Beavers will not need their offense to win this game. Their defense should hold down the Spartans, and while DJ Uiagalelei will upgrade the passing game, they’ll still lean on Damien Martinez and Deshaun Fenwick to slow down this game on the ground, resulting in fewer possessions.

Leg 3: San Jose State under 18.5 Total Points (-108)

San Jose State managed to put up 28 points against a USC defense that ranked 10th in the PAC-12 in scoring defense. Now, they’ll face an Oregon State defense that finished first in that category. Southern Cal was eighth in rushing defense and last in passing, while OSU was first and third, respectively. Expect tough sledding for this Spartans offense. 

Total: +576

Florida State vs. LSU (-2.5), Total 56

Leg 1: Florida State +2.5 (-115)

Last year was an exciting game as LSU came back from 17-3 to get within a point, only to miss an extra point that could’ve sent the game into overtime. FSU would go on to have an up-and-down season, but Jordan Travis flourished and helped the Seminoles win their final six games last year. This has the makings of being another classic, but I have more confidence in Travis than Jayden Daniels.

Leg 2: Over 55.5 Total Points (-110)

While their last matchup went under this number, this game became an outlier as the season progressed. FSU hit the over in seven of their final 11 games, and LSU went over in seven of their last eight. The Seminoles would score 35 or more points in eight of their final 11 games, while the Tigers scored 30 or more in nine of their previous 13. All signs point to this game falling in line with past trends.

Leg 3: Jordan Travis over 247.5 Passing Yards (-114)

Travis developed significantly as a passer last season. In 2021, he relied heavily on his mobility to move the ball. But last season, he had 159 more pass attempts, which resulted in 1,675 more passing yards, and had 52 fewer rushes. Look for him to keep that going against the Tigers. 

Total: +570
