College Football Week 5 Same Game Parlays Odds, Picks & Predictions (2022)

As we get into Week 5, many teams are beginning conference play. We’re getting some exciting matchups this week as we get two 2021 conference championship rematches. Then we’ll cap it off with the primetime game of the night that could have conference championship implications.

Michigan vs. Iowa

• Leg 1: Michigan -10.5 (-114)
• Leg 2: JJ McCarthy Under 205.5 passing yards (-114)
• Leg 3: Spencer Petras Under 140.5 passing yards (-114)
• Leg 4: Blake Corum Over 80.5 rushing yards (-114)

Iowa had this game marked on the calendar since December when Michigan thrashed them 42-3 in the Big Ten championship. The Hawkeyes’ offense was pitiful last year, especially at quarterback, finishing in the bottom 30 in passing yards per game. Nothing has changed with Spencer Petras throwing for 524 yards, one touchdown, two picks, and a 51.1 completion percentage this season.

They play defense well, as their 5.75 points allowed per game leads the country, and they have nine starters on the 2022 Preseason All-Big Ten team. We’ll see a Michigan offense that has been able to throw up points all season find themselves struggling to move the ball. Quarterback J.J. McCarthy has been solid as the starter, but Blake Corum has been the star with 314 yards in seven touchdowns in his last two games. It will also help the Wolverines to have a veteran and talented offensive line in the trenches.

The Michigan defense has been pretty good and held Maryland to their lowest points this season. If Iowa had any resemblance of an offense, you could give them a chance to win or at least cover, but you can’t trust them to stay in contention.

Oklahoma State vs. Baylor

• Leg 1: Baylor -2.5 (-110)
• Leg 2: Blake Shapen Over 217.5 passing yards (-114)
• Leg 3: Under 56.5 total points (-110)

Staying with the conference championship trend, Oklahoma State and Baylor will meet for the first time after last year’s Big 12 championship with one of the most exciting endings of the 2021 season.

The Baylor defense has carried over their dominance in 2021, as they’re allowing under three yards per carry and are 24th allowing just over 305 total yards per game.  Although they lost their top three running backs from last year, they’ve still been able to move the ball on the ground averaging 4.8 yards per rush, but going against an OK State run defense that’s allowing 3.1 yards per carry.

The Bears made Blake Shapen their starter for games like these. He will be relied on to move the ball, and he’s done well this year with controlling the offense and preventing turnovers. Baylor could find themselves in third and long situations, and having a dependable passer will be critical.

In ten games not against Baylor last year, Spencer Sanders threw for 15 touchdowns and five interceptions, he would finish the season with 16 TDs and 12 INTs. That Baylor defensive line is good, probably even better than last year, and is, by far, the best defense Sanders has seen this year.

You can’t ignore that Oklahoma State hasn’t been tested this year, while Baylor nearly pulled off a win on the road against BYU. Having been in a high-intensity situation should play a part in a game like this.

NC State vs. Clemson

• Leg 1: NC State +6.5 (-105)
• Leg 2: Will Shipley anytime scorer  (-200)
• Leg 3: Under 43.5 total points (-112)

DJ Uiagalelei needed that performance last week to lead the Tigers to that huge double-overtime win against Wake Forest. At least for now, we shouldn’t hear talk of him being replaced at quarterback by Cade Klubnik.

Do not expect the same performance this week in this top ten matchup with NC State f because Wake Forest is near the bottom of ACC defensively, but statically NC State is at the top, allowing just 11.7 points per game. The Clemson offensive line is solid in their pass blocking but noticeably has trouble with the run. Will Shipley has overcome that with 6.8 yards per carry this season, but don’t expect him to make it into the secondary with linebackers Payton Wilson and Drake Thomas.

With the effects of Hurricane Ian, winds gusts of 14 MPH are expected during the game, which could affect both offenses. The Wolfpack’s defense will be able to keep Clemson contained, and this game could come down to the wire.
