College Football Same Game Parlay Picks: Week 8

(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)

#16 Duke Blue Devils at #4 Florida State Seminoles

  • Leg 1: Under 49.5 (-115)
  • Leg 2: Jordan Travis Over 20.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
  • Leg 3: Keon Coleman Under 68.5 Receiving Yards (-114)

This is one of the premiere matchups of the weekend, as both teams are undefeated in the ACC, and this could potentially be a conference championship matchup. The big question for Duke is the status of Riley Leonard. Head coach Mike Elko says he could possibly return for this game, but we may not know until kickoff. FSU played some close games earlier in the year but smashed their last two opponents with a +60-scoring margin. This will be by far the best defense they've seen, with Duke being No. 4 in points allowed per game and the first ranked in the top 40. The status of Leonard makes it tough to take the spread, but these are some good defenses, so side with the under.

Jordan Travis has changed his approach over the last couple of years. He was once a highly mobile quarterback. He's since developed his passing game and, as a result, went from 132 carries in 2021 to 82 last year. Looking at Duke's defense, their strength comes in their pass defense, as the rushing defense is 61st. We should see vintage Travis run it more than usual in this game.

This will be an exceptional secondary that the Seminoles will see. Keon Coleman will likely be covered by Chandler Rivers, but I also expect Jaylen Stinson, who could be a high-safety prospect, to be a shadow. Coleman will have a ton of trouble creating separation in this game and very little involvement.

Central Florida Knights at #6 Oklahoma Sooners

  • Leg 1: Oklahoma -17.5 (-110)
  • Leg 2: Dillon Gabriel Over 308.5 Passing Yards (-114)
  • Leg 3: Nic Anderson Anytime TD (-145)

Oklahoma is coming off a big win thanks to a last-second touchdown in the Red River Rivalry, and their CFB Playoff aspirations are in sight. They get a Big 12 newcomer in Central Florida. Their start in the Power Five is not going well, as they've dropped the first three conference games by a total of 44 points. The Knights have allowed an average of 43.6 points in the last three games, all of which their opponents are outside the top 35 in points scored per game. Good luck facing the No.4 scoring offense that's averaging 45 points.

Did someone say revenge game? Dillion Gabriel will face the program he started with and had two seasons of 3,000+ passing yards and 25+ passing touchdowns. UCF has posted great numbers against the pass, but they have only seen one team that's within the top 50 in passing offense. Now they get a quarterback who's seventh in passing yards per game.

Nic Anderson is tied for third on the Sooners in catches, but he leads them in receiving touchdowns. This is a home run player Gabriel has looked to, and they have a great connection. All six of Anderson's touchdowns have come in the last four games, with at least one in each.

Parlay Total: +506

#8 Texas Longhorns at Houston Cougars

  • Leg 1: Over 60.5 (-115)
  • Leg 2: Jonathon Brooks  Over 108.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
  • Leg 3: Quinn Ewers Over 9.5 Rushing Yards (-122)

Texas hopes to rebound after a tough loss against Oklahoma. Besides that game, they have convincingly beaten their opponents, and each win has been by multiple possessions. Houston's inaugural year in the Big 12 isn't going too well, as they're 1-2 and picked up their first conference win on a last-second hail Mary against West Virginia. The Cougars are last in the conference in overall points allowed this season and are giving up 41.3 points to conference opponents while scoring under 30. Texas should win, but the confidence isn’t in the spread. Taking the over is the best bet.

Like a light switch, Jonathon Brooks has turned it on, and he's on an incredible run. After totaling just 109 rushing yards in his first two games, he's averaging 154.2 yards with five touchdowns in his last four. Houston has struggled against the run and is 95th in rushing yards allowed per game. 109 is a large number, but it's feasible for the red-hot Brooks.

Quinn Ewer’s intention isn't to run, but he will do it on occasion. The line of 9.5 is a small number against this run defense, and he's hit this mark three times this season.

Parlay Total: +539
