2023 NCAA Football Week 5 Parlay Betting Picks

 

Previous Betting News

After Week 4 of the college football season, the top 5 teams in the National Rankings remained the same, albeit only just for Clemson, who survived a scare against Wake Forest. There are, though, several teams outside the top 5 making moves right now, which means that a single slip-up could lead to some serious ranking changes in the coming weeks. Our sole focus, though, is on Week 5, and we have put together a set of parlay picks as we look to keep our strong start to the season going. Let’s get right to it so you can keep betting against the College Football Odds.

NCAAF Parlay Betting Picks | 2022 College Football Week 5 Predictions

Week 5 SU Parlay – UCLA, Oklahoma State, Mississippi State

We have a massive PAC 12 matchup coming this weekend, with UCLA and Washington, both of whom are undefeated, squaring off. The Bruins have won in 8 of the last 9 games in which they have hosted Washington.

Some great conference games coming this weekend, including the Oklahoma State Cowboys going up against the Baylor Bears. The Cowboys have won their last 8 games in Week 5 and 5 of 6 against conference foes.

Another conference rivalry game sees Mississippi State and Texas A&M go head-to-head this weekend. The Aggies have not really lived up to the preseason hype, and I think they continue to disappoint this weekend.

Week 5 ATS Parlay – Georgia State (+9), Minnesota (-10 ½), Georgia (-27 ½)

I’m not usually ready to go all in on a team that is off to an 0-4 start to the season, but that is what I am doing with Georgia State. While I think they will lose, they have covered in 8 of their last 10 road games.

It has been a very strong start to the season for the Minnesota Golden Gophers, who are 4-0 and who have covered in all 4 games. In fact, if you go back to last season, this is a team on a 7-game streak of covering the spread.

It was not a great performance from Georgia last weekend, as they huffed and puffed and played sloppy football in a win over Kent State. I think those wrongs are put right this week, which means Missouri will pay the price.

Week 5 O/U Parlay – UTSA (O63), UAB (O51 ½), San Diego State (U40)

We get this ticket rolling with a Friday game between UTSA and Middle Tennessee, who are coming off a massive upset win over Miami. Both of these teams can put points on the board, and I like this one to go OVER.

I’m perhaps taking a bit of a chance by playing the game between UAB and Rice to go OVER, as all signs seem to point in the other direction. That said, 4 of the last 5 games that Rice have played at home have gone OVER the point total.

We have another Friday night game to close out the ticket, with a matchup between San Diego State and Boise State. All signs here are definitely on the UNDER, with Boise State seeing 10 of their last 11 games go that route.

In terms of our weekly college football picks, we are having some success in our SU and O/U picks, while our ATS selections leave a little to be desired. We hope to get them all looking healthy by the end of the season, but this is just something you might want to keep in mind when using our selections in your parlays and such. Through the opening 4 weeks, we are 8-4 in SU plays, 5-7 in ATS, and a healthy 10-2 with our O/U picks. We have also had 5 parlay picks hit this season, so overall we are in pretty good shape. We would, though still like to do better, so let’s see if we can do that with our Week 5 college football parlay picks so you can get ready to bet against the NCAAF odds.

2021 Parlay Picks for Week 5 | College Football Betting

NCAAF Week 5 SU Parlay – Georgia, Cincinnati, Oklahoma State

With our straight up picks, we usually go with games where the spread is a TD or less, but it’s a little different for our first pick. The bookies have Georgia in as a massive favorite over Arkansas, but this is not an easy game. The Dawgs make the ticket this week.

We have another huge game between a pair of top 10 teams set to go, with the Cincinnati Bearcats and Notre Dame Fighting Irish squaring off. The Playoff Committee always favors Power 5 teams, so this is essentially an elimination game. I’m on the Bearcats to take it.

A pair of unbeaten top 25 teams meet this weekend, with the Oklahoma State Cowboys and the Baylor Bears set to duke it out. The Cowboys have win 6 in a row and 7 of their last 8 overall in their own building. I’m on them to stay unbeaten.

NCAAF Week 5 ATS Parlay – Iowa (-4), Pittsburgh (-3 ½), Oregon (-8)

We get our ATS parlay started a little early in Week 5, with the Iowa Hawkeyes going on the road to Maryland as a 4-point favorite on Friday night. The Hawkeyes have been a very good bet as the favorite, covering in 6 of their last 8.

With the ACC up for grabs now that Clemson is in trouble, the Pittsburgh Panthers head to Atlanta this weekend to face the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. They have covered in 4 of their last 6 against Tech, so let’s take them again.

It is beginning to look as though we may see some changes in the top 4 this season, but can the Oregon Ducks sustain their early challenge. They head to Stanford, where they have covered the spread in 6 of their last 9 visits.

NCAAF Week 5 O/U Parlay – Michigan (O43 ½), Oklahoma (O52 ½), BC (U48)

It looks as though we might have ourselves a bit of a battle in the Big Ten this season. Michigan and Wisconsin meet this weekend in what should be a huge game. The OVER has hit on 8 of Michigan’s last 9 road games, so let’s take the OVER again.

In recent years, Oklahoma has been all about offensive football combined with some dodgy defense. That has led to high-scoring games, but the offense has been a little off the past couple of weeks. I think they get back to business against Kansas State and take the total OVER.

It is hard to believe that Clemson is already 2-2 and harder still to believe that their offense has looked terrible thus far. They have a tricky one this weekend against Boston College, who has seen 11 of their last 16 road games go UNDER.

 

 

Previous Betting News

You may have missed it last week in a fairly meaningless but very entertaining Houston-Tulane matchup. Cougars quarterback D’Eriq King had three touchdowns in the loss. That was the 15th straight game in which the King accounted for at least one passing and one rushing touchdown in the same game. King now owns the FBS record for such a streak, breaking the record of 14 in a row previously set by Florida’s Tim Tebow more than a decade ago. Here are two College Football Week 5 games before Saturday that we would parlay together on the college football betting spread.

2019 College Football Week 5 Parlay Betting Picks

Navy at Memphis (-10.5)

This is the only FBS game on Thursday night. Big one in the American Athletic Conference West Division – likely the winner of this game wins the division and these teams have combined for the past three West titles. Navy is trying to open its season 3-0 for the fourth time in the last five years. Out of 130 FBS teams, Navy and Memphis are two of just 23 remaining teams that have not lost this year.

Features two of the top defenses in the FBS this year. Navy is ranked fourth in total defense (226.5 yds/gm), while Memphis is ranked third (226.3 yds/gm). In scoring defense, Navy is second (8.5), while Memphis is 14th (13.3). Navy has held each of its first two opponents to under 100 yards rushing (64 for Holy Cross and 86 for East Carolina). It is the first time Navy has held the opposition to under 100 yards in back-to-back games since 2008 when the Mids held SMU to -13 yards and Temple to 69 yards.

New Horizons

This marks just the fifth Thursday night game Navy has played in, amassing a 1-3 record. Navy has never played a home game on Thursday night. The team was supposed to play at East Carolina in 2016 on Thursday night, but because of severe flooding in the area the game was moved to a Saturday later on in the year. Navy won that game, 66-31.

Last year Navy was a home dog and upset Memphis 22-21. Backup QB Zach Abey scored from the 3 with 2:37 left for the winning TD. A steady rain turned a projected shootout into a conservative game of ball control. Memphis’ Darrell Henderson finished with 212 yards and three TDs on just 13 carries. The Middies were down 12 in the fourth; the last time the Midshipmen won when trailing by double digits in the fourth quarter was in 2008, against Temple. The Middies are 3-1 all-time vs. Memphis.

Arizona State at No. 15 California (-4)

Big one in the Pac-12 on Friday and possibly a conference title game preview, although we tend to doubt that. Cal is the only team in the Pac-12 without an overall loss. The Bears are off a 28-20 win at Ole Miss on Saturday.

Evan Weaver stuffed Ole Miss quarterback John Rhys Plumlee on Cal’s 1-yard line with his career-best 22nd tackle of the game as time expired to seal the victory. The Bears, who earned their first win at a SEC school since 1977, also became the first Pac-12 team to defeat a SEC school on the road since Oregon bested Tennessee in Knoxville in 2010.

Cal has now held 11 consecutive opponents under 24 points – the longest active streak in the country. Cal improved to 9-0 in regular-season non-conference games under head coach Justin Wilcox.

Quarterback Chase Garbers put together a personal-best performance in the win, setting career highs in passing yards (357), completions (23) and touchdown passes (four). The redshirt sophomore finished 23-of-35 passing and found nine different receivers at least once.

What about the Sun Devils?

ASU fell out of the top 25 with a 34-31 home loss to Colorado on Saturday. Sun Devils tailback Eno Benjamin, a preseason Doak Walker Award Preseason Watch-List honoree, finished the night with 83 yards in the game and eclipsed 2,000 career rushing yards and has 2,076 yards in his third year as a Sun Devil. He also notched his 20th career touchdown which tied the game at 21 with 5:23 left in the first half. Jayden Daniels threw for a career-high 345 yards and two touchdowns in the defeat, the third most passing yards by a Sun Devil freshman quarterback.

The Sun Devils have scored double-digit points in 123 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the FBS and the second-longest streak in the modern era of football behind only Louisiana Tech. ASU also holds the FBS active streak for consecutive games scoring more than 7 points, extending their streak to 138 straight games.

 

 

Previous Betting News

I’ll admit that I thought Florida State would be in the College Football Playoff this season. But losing star QB Deondre Francois for the year basically wrecked the Noles’ season. For the first time since 2011, they are not ranked in the AP Top 25. And they definitely shouldn’t be an NCAAF betting pick for you at this stage of the season. But we continue to move forward and head into Week 5, as we pick out our top College Football Week 5 odds & picks to parlay on this week.

Top NCAAF Betting Picks to Parlay in Week 5

Texas Longhorns at Iowa State Cyclones

When: Thursday, 8 PM ET Where: Jack Trice Stadium, Radio: KTXX 104.9 FM (Texas) / Cyclone Radio Network (Iowa State) Opening NCAAF Betting Lines: Texas -5

Series History

It’s the 15^th meeting between the schools. The Longhorns lead the series with a record of 12-2. Texas enters with a 5-1 record on the road against Iowa State. The first meeting between the two schools was a 17-9 Texas win in 1979. The first matchup in Ames was a 44-41 UT victory in 1999. Thursday’s game will mark the eighth straight season that the two schools have played. Texas was victorious against the Cyclones last season in Austin, 27-6. The Longhorns were defeated 24-0 the last time the two programs squared off in Ames (2015).

Why Bet On Texas?

The Horns (1-2) were off on Saturday and come off what could be called a good loss: 27-24 in double overtime on Sept. 16 at No. 4 USC. Junior defensive back DeShon Elliott had a huge game with two interceptions, seven tackles and two pass breakups. Elliott and the defense allowed just 17 points in regulation and 71 total rushing yards. USC entered averaging 45.5 points and 269.5 rushing yards per game.

The defense has been much improved overall. Through three games, Texas has allowed an average of 373.7 yards per game, almost 75 yards better on a per game basis than in 2016. The Longhorns’ rushing defense (125.3) has improved by nearly 65 yards per game over their average last season. UT is first nationally in fourth-down defense, not allowing a conversion in five attempts. Only 11 teams have been perfect on fourth down defensively, while having faced at least three attempts. On third down, Texas is drastically improved as well. It is currently third in the conference and 22nd nationally having allowed just 11-of-41 (.268) third-down attempts to be converted.  The Longhorns’ red zone defense has allowed points on just 60-percent of opponents’ trips, good for 12th nationally.

Texas has already come up with five turnovers (four interceptions, one fumble recovery). Last season through three games, the Longhorns’ defense had just one turnover. Not counting season openers, Tom Herman is 4-0 in his career with at least 12 days since the last game.  UT is 10-7 since the start of 2011 in such games.

Why Bet On Iowa State?

The Cyclones (2-1) also were off on Saturday. They come off a 41-14 win at Akron on Sept. 16. The Cyclones have now tallied over 400 total yards in six straight games, a school record, and have put up over 40 points in their first three contests.

And the difference maker has been running back David Montgomery. Montgomery, a sophomore, has totaled 321 yards on the ground this season for an average of 107 yards per game and 5.7 yards per carry. Montgomery currently leads college football in broken tackles.

“He’s the catalyst for what we are offensively,” said coach Matt Campbell. “He practices that way every day. Our kids have really taken to that. He’s been a catalyst in this program. That has really drawn and gotten the most out of himself and his teammates.”

This is the second time in school history that ISU has scored 40 or more points in each of the first three games of a season (1976). The three consecutive 40-point games also tie an overall school record (three other times, most recently in 1976). ISU is 5-2 under Campbell in games with a positive turnover margin (+3 today).

Miami Hurricanes at Duke Blue Devils

When: Friday, 7 PM ET Where: Wallace Wade Stadium TV: ESPN Stream: WatchESPN Radio: WQAM 560 AM (Miami) / (Duke) Opening NCAAF Betting Lines: Miami -5.5

Why Bet On Miami?

The Canes (2-0) are 14^th in the latest poll and come off a 52-30 win over Toledo. The Rockets were up 16-10 before UM took over. The Canes were a bit rusty after having not played in three weeks due to Hurricane Irma. Mark Walton had 137 yards and a touchdown on six carries before leaving the game with an injury in the middle of the second quarter, but the junior returned with 1:36 remaining in the third quarter and finished the game with a career-high 204 rushing yards and one touchdown on 11 carries.

Walton recorded the seventh 200-yard rushing game in Miami history and first since Duke Johnson ran for 249 yards at Virginia Tech in 2014. His 204 yards tie him for sixth in a single game in Miami history with Willis McGahee, who ran for 204 yards at Florida in 2002.

UM has appeared in every AP poll this season. The Canes haven’t done so for an entire year since 2005. They were ranked in every poll from 2000-05, in 1996, from 1986-94, and in 1984.

UM’s trip to Durham is its first since Oct. 31, 2015, when the Hurricanes produced one of the most memorable endings in modern college football history: the eight-lateral kickoff return that ended with Corn Elder’s 92-yard sprint to the end zone, and a 30-27 win.

Why Bet On Duke?

The Blue Devils beat North Carolina 27-17 on Saturday. Shaun Wilson’s one-yard touchdown run with 6:09 left in the fourth quarter lifted Duke to the win. The Blue Devils improved to 4-0 thanks to an interception return for a score by Bryon Fields Jr. late in the final period. Daniel Jones was 18 of 32 for 202 yards with a 28-yard touchdown pass to Davis Koppenhaver and a key 45-yard pass to T.J. Rahming to start the drive that ended with Wilson’s TD.

The Blue Devils racked up 11 tackles for losses, with redshirt senior defensive tackle Mike Ramsay netting 2.5 and linebacker Ben Humphreys two. The pressure came from everywhere as eight different players recorded a tackle for loss. UNC had six drives where it failed to secure a first down. After the Tar Heels took their 17-13 lead, they had the ball three times with a chance to build on that advantage. They ran 12 plays on those three drives, gaining only 23 yards.

The Blue Devils matched their victory total from last year, prolonged their best start since 2014 and kept possession of the Victory Bell by beating the rival Tar Heels for the second straight year — just the second time that’s happened since 1989.

It has been a great start to the college football season, with upsets seeming to be the order of the day. While these upsets have made it a little tougher on the average handicapper, we finally got into a bit of a groove with our picks in Week 3. Individually, we went 7-2 overall, which included hitting a 3-game parlay in our ATS selections. It was a very solid week, but we are always looking to do better, so it’s time to move on to Week 4. As always, we will have 3 parlay tickets available, which you can use in any way you wish. Let’s get to it so you can make your bets against the NCAA Football Lines.

NCAAF Parlay Betting Picks | 2022 College Football Week 4 Analysis

Week 4 SU Parlay – Coastal Carolina, Clemson, Iowa State

We get our parlay picks rolling by taking the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers to win on the road against Georgia State. They are in as a slight favorite, which is important, as the road team has covered in the last 5 meetings between these two.

Clemson are looking to bounce back after a rough year that saw them even fail to make it to the ACC Championship Game. They are off to a perfect start, and while it is a tough outing, I think they continue to roll against Wake Forest.

One of the better games of the week sees the Iowa State Cyclones look to remain unbeaten against the Baylor Bears. Iowa State has won 6 in a row at home, which I think gives them the edge in a very tight matchup.

Week 4 ATS Parlay – Duke (+9), Arkansas (+2 ½), Oregon State (+6 ½)

We are taking a bit of a risk and going the all-underdog route, staring with Duke on the road at Kansas. They have covered in all 4 of their last meetings with the Big 12 and are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 in the month of September.

The Texas A&M Aggies came into the season as a dark horse pick for many, but an upset loss to Appalachian State has them reeling. Another tough one this week against Arkansas, who have covered in their last 4 against the Aggies.

Another good matchup sees USC hit the road to face Oregon State, with both teams coming into this one unbeaten on the season. The Beavers have covered in 8 of their last 9 homes games and are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 in the month of September.

Week 4 O/U Parlay – Stamford (O61 ½), Tulsa (U61 ½), FAU (O61 ½)

Our O/U parlay begins with playing the OVER in the matchup between Stanford and Washington. The Huskies are on a streak that has seen each of their last 4 games go OVER, with the same result in their last 6 at home.

Under Lane Kiffin, the Ole Miss Rebels have become something of an offensive juggernaut, but that often means that the point total is elevated a little too much. 10 of the las 11 for the Rebels have gone UNDER, so more of the same this week.

The FAU Owls and Purdue Boilermakers seem to be making a habit of getting involved in high-scoring games this season, so expect some offense in this one. Purdue is on a streak of seeing  their last 6 games at home go OVER.

Bad break for No. 4 LSU as in their blowout win over little Northwestern State last week, safety Todd Harris suffered a leg injury that will end his season. He will be able to redshirt. Last year, the former four-star recruit played in 11 games as a sophomore, including one start. Harris has played in all three games for LSU this season, and he recorded three tackles, one for loss. Here’s a look at two intriguing college football betting matchups this week that we will parlay together.

2019 College Football Week 4 Parlay Betting Picks

Tennessee at No. 9 Florida (-14)

• When: Saturday, noon ET
• TV: ESPN

The Gators being life without starting quarterback Feleipe Franks. He dislocated and broke his ankle in gruesome fashion in last Saturday’s 29-21 win at Kentucky. Franks was 12-of-17 passing for 174 yards with one touchdown, one interception and a lost fumble on the evening. He threw for 524 yards four touchdowns and two interceptions in wins over Miami and Tennessee-Martin prior to this game.

Franks, who started 23 games entering Saturday, suffered the injury during the third quarter with his team trailing by 11 points. Franks was replaced by junior Kyle Trask, who completed his first four passes and ended the drive by pitching the ball to Lamical Perine, who ran 8 yards for a touchdown. Trask then ran in the go-ahead touchdown with 4:11 left in the game.

Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt didn’t see Florida make many drastic changes to its offense after Trask entered the game and he isn’t expecting the Gators to suffer much of a drop-off from Franks to the 6-foot-5, 234-pounder from Texas.

“I think last year, at one time for them, it was close enough that there was a quarterback battle, talking about who’s going to be the starter even into the season,” Pruitt said at his weekly press conference. “This guy’s plenty capable.

What about Florida?

The Gators have won seven straight games dating back to the end of last season under second-year head coach Dan Mullen. The Vols picked up their first win of the year on Saturday against Chattanooga, winning 45-0 in Knoxville. SEC play will begin for Volunteers this weekend after dropping two of three non-conference games to start the year. The Vols have been dominant in the special-teams phase through the first three weeks of the season.

Placekicker Brent Cimaglia has made all eight of his field-goal attempts this season to tie for the national lead and extend his streak to 10 consecutive field goals made. Brandon Johnson recovered a Tyler Byrd blocked punt in UT’s 45-0 win over Chattanooga, with Johnson returning it 24 yards for a touchdown. It marked the first time the Vols have returned a blocked punt for a touchdown since Marquill Osborne did so against ETSU on Sept. 8, 2018.

Florida has won 13 of the past 14 in this series and is 15-4 vs. the Vols in Gainesville, winning the past eight.

No. 7 Notre Dame at No. 3 Georgia (-14)

• When: Saturday, 8 PM ET
• TV: CBS

It’s arguably the biggest non-conference game in the nation this season and perhaps the toughest ticker ever at Georgia because it’s the Irish’s first-ever visit. Going to be hard for the loser to reach the College Football Playoff because both still have very tough schedules remaining. ESPN College GameDay will be in Athens.

It will be the latest kickoff at Georgia since Labor Day 1985 when Georgia played host to Alabama. Saturday’s matchup will mark the 21st time in history that the Bulldogs have had ESPN GameDay on site for their game. Georgia is 6-14 in those contests, including 3-2 over its last five appearances. Notre Dame is in its 133rd year of football and ranks fifth all-time in the FBS with 899 victories. The Bulldogs, now in their 126th season, have tallied 822 wins. Georgia owns a 2-0 edge in the series with Notre Dame. The first victory over the Fighting Irish remains one of the most celebrated wins in the program’s history as the Bulldogs posted a 17-10 decision in the Sugar Bowl to capture the 1980 national title.

The last time Georgia played host to a top 10 matchup came in 2013 when ninth-ranked Georgia outlasted sixth-ranked LSU 44-41. The last time Georgia had a top 10 non-conference matchup in Athens came in 1966 when seventh-ranked Georgia beat fifth-ranked Georgia Tech 23-14. The Bulldogs are 6-4 all-time in top-10 matchups at Sanford Stadium.

What about Notre Dame?

Notre Dame comes off a 66-14 wipeout of New Mexico. With nine touchdowns scored by eight different players the Irish racked up the most points in a home opener since 1932, when they shut out Haskell (now Haskell Indian Nations University) 73-0. The Fighting Irish had three interceptions in the first half, including Kyle Hamilton’s pick-six to open the scoring, and scored 31 points in the second quarter en route to improving to 2-0 on the season. All told, Notre Dame totaled 591 yards of offense, with Ian Book finishing 15-or-24 for 360 yards and five touchdowns. Book also rushed for 46 yards and a touchdown, giving him six scores on the day.

Book was the first Notre Dame player to account for six touchdowns since DeShone Kizer accomplished that feat at Texas in 2016. It was the ninth time in program history a quarterback has completed five or more touchdown passes in a game. Book joins Brady Quinn (six vs. BYU in 2005 and five in two games), Jimmy Clausen (five in two games), Kizer (five in two games) and Tommy Rees (five in one game) in reaching the mark.

What could be better than cashing in with a winning college football wager? Why, cashing in on multiple games as part of a bankroll-boosting parlay wager of course!

Thanks to the trio of expert Week 4 online betting parlay picks that you’re about to get, you’re going to have a great chance to strike pay dirt three times. Okay, with that said, let’s get started.

In Depth Analysis On The Top College Football Parlay Picks Of The Week (Sept. 23-24)

Duke Blue Devils (1-2) at Notre Dame Fighting Irish (1-2)

When: Saturday, September 24, 2016 at 3:30 PM
Where: Notre Dame Stadium
TV: NBC
NCAAF Line: Notre Dame Fighting Irish -21

Analysis:
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have let me down in a big way through three games and I just don’t see Duke getting blown out in this contest! The Blue Devils are 6-1 TS in their last seven road games against a team with a losing home record while Notre Dame has gone 0-7-1 ATS in their last eight games after failing to gain 100 rushing yards.

63 percent of the betting public likes the Irish to find a way to cover the spread, but I don’t. Duke cover by the slimmest of margins!

My Pick: Notre Dame 31 Duke 14

USC at No. 24 Utah

When: 9:00 PM ET, Friday, September 23, 2016
Where: Rice-Eccles Stadium, Salt Lake City, Utah
TV: FS1
NCAAF Odds: Utah -1.5

Analysis:
Despite all of their roster talent, the USC Trojans are a complete and utter mess right now. The Trojans are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games and a dismal 0-5 ATS in their last five road games.

I know the Utah Utes are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games, but they’ve also alternated SU wins and losses against USC the last three seasons – and it’s their turn to win after falling 42-24 as a 6-point road dog a year ago. With the spread being just one point, I say Utah wins outright at home to cover!

My Pick: Utah 28 USC 24

Oklahoma State Cowboys (2-1) at Baylor Bears (3-0)

When: Saturday, September 24, 2016 at 7:30 PM
Where: McLane Stadium
TV: FOX
NCAAF Line: Baylor Bears -9.5

Analysis:
The Baylor Bears are the easy pick in this contest seeing as how Oklahoma State rarely plays any defense this season. The Cowboys are 1-4 ATS in their last five games against a team with a winning record and will take on a Baylor team that has gone 27-11 ATS in their last 38 home games.

I know the Cowboys are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 meetings against Baylor, but I don’t think very highly of Oklahoma State seeing as how they lost to tiny Central Michigan two weeks ago. Baylor wins by double digits to cover the college football betting line!

My Pick: Baylor 45 Oklahoma State 35
