College Football Same Game Parlay Picks: Week 9

#8 Oregon Ducks at #13 Utah Utes

  • Leg 1: Utah +6.5 (-106)
  • Leg 2: Bucky Irving Under 79.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
  • Leg 3: Bo Nix Under Passing Touchdowns (-114)

With a conference loss under their belt, Oregon needs to continue to win if they want to make it to the Pac-12 Championship. Bo Nix continues to be one of the better quarterbacks in the country, with the best completion percentage  (78.4%), 19 touchdowns and one interception. Utah also only has one loss, and they'll have to go the whole season without Cameron Rising. Bryson Barnes excelled last week, throwing for 235 passing yards and three touchdowns, both career-bests. We're seeing that the Oregon defense might not be as scary as thought earlier in the season, and Utah's defense holding USC to their second-lowest totals shows they’re talented. They're going to keep this game close.

Oregon had gotten away from the run this year, going from 80th in pass play percentage last year (46%) to 37th (53%). We've seen a dip recently to almost even, and Bucky Irving has seen the benefits with 50 carries in his last three games, averaging 114 rushing yards. Utah is allowing under three yards per rush attempt, so opponents have stayed clear of trying with the third-fewest rushing attempts per game. The Ducks will try to give Irving the ball, but I don't think they'll be successful.

Bo Nix has multiple passing touchdowns in each game this season. Last year, he didn't have multiple passing touchdowns in two Pac-12 games, one was against Utah. The Utes have allowed just one quarterback to throw for multiple touchdowns, and that was against Cal, where they held a substantial lead for most of that game.

Parlay Total: +585

#20 Duke Blue Devils at #18 Louisville Cardinals

  • Leg 1: Louisville -4.5 (-105)
  • Leg 2: Jake Plummer Under 237.5 Passing Yards (-114)
  • Leg 3: Jake Plummer Under 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (-118)

Duke went on the road against Florida State, and it took their second loss of the season. Riley Leonard was abysmal, throwing for just 67 yards before leaving the game in the third quarter when he re-aggravated the high ankle sprain. Louisville also took their first loss in a shocking upset by Pitt. Jake Plummer played well in the first half, but the Cardinals offense was terrible in the second, with two interceptions (including a pick-six), four possessions that were lost on downs and zero points. Duke has been great defensively other than last week, and Louisville can take away the run game. Louisville is a great play in this game regardless of if Leonard suits up, and getting this at under a touchdown is great.

Duke will need their defense to step up if they don't want to suffer back-to-back losses. Even after allowing 268 passing yards to Jordan Travis, the Blue Devils remain 16th in passing yards allowed per game. Jack Plummer has only faced one passing defense better than Duke, and that was Notre Dame, where he threw a season-low 145 yards.

It's shocking to see Plummer's passing touchdown totals set evenly. He's only thrown for multiple touchdowns in two games this season. Duke has been great at preventing the touchdown through the air, as their five passing touchdowns allowed is the third-lowest in the country.

Parlay Total: +577

BYU Cougars at #7 Texas Longhorns

  • Leg 1: Under 50.5 (-110)
  • Leg 2: Jonathon Brooks Over 104.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
  • Leg 3: Keldon Slovis Over 185.5 Passing Yards (-114)

Texas is still in the hunt to make the Big 12 Championship, but for the second year in a row, they will not have Quinn Ewers for multiple games due to injury. BYU's first year in the conference hasn't been terrible, with a 2-2 record against Big 12 opponents. If they want to pull off the upset, they will have to do it with their defense. They've done well against the pass, allowing the fourth-fewest passing yards in the conference and forcing the second-most interceptions. For a struggling BYU offense and Texas with a new signal caller, 50 points is set too high.

It'll likely be Maalik Murphy behind center for the Longhorns but don't expect him to do much. Texas will be relying on Jonathon Brooks to carry this offense. BYU allows 150.3 rushing yards per game, which ranks ninth in the conference. Even with Ewers in the lineup, Brooks has seen a huge uptick in carries. He has 20 or more in four of his last five games and has averaged five yards per carry or better in all five.

Keldon Slovis is in his third program in three. He does have the same 127.1 passer rating as last year and more touchdowns but has seen a dip in completion percentage and yards per pass. He will be more involved in the Cougar offense because Texas' top-run defense will make them one-dimensional. Texas is 75th in the nation in passing yards allowed and allows almost 12 yards per completion. Slovis will not have the best game through the air, but the passing volume will get him.

Parlay Total: +573
