College football parlays: Week 7

If you like to risk a little and win a lot, then college football parlays are for you. However, the house's edge is even more significant regarding parlays.

So, when putting money down on them, do what you can to minimize your risk. Rather than add another leg and go for the massive payday, keep your parlays short (two or three legs).

Let's review a few college football parlays using games from CFB Saturday, Week 7:

College football parlay No. 1 at BetMGM

• Oregon +125
• USC +120
• CFB parlay odds: +395

Oregon and Washington have two of the country's top offenses, averaging over 500 yards of offense a game and over 45 PPG. Both have solid defenses and great offensive lines, but the difference-maker will be the Ducks defense, which is a little better than Washington's.

As for USC, the Trojans defense is vulnerable against the run, which Notre Dame does well. But the Fighting Irish defense will not contain the high-powered USC offense for long (if at all).

Notre Dame's offense may look better this week, but it will not do enough to pull out the win.

A $100 wager will result in a $495 payday, your stake plus $395 in winnings.

CFB parlay No. 2 at FanDuel

• Arizona-Washington State Over 59.5 -105
• California +11.5 -110
• CFB parlay odds: +272

The key for this game is whether Arizona starts Jayden de Laura or Noah Fifita at quarterback. With Fifita behind center, the offense is much more explosive and will put some points on the board against Washington State.

But head coach Jedd Fisch has said de Laura will start if he's healthy. However, he is not expected to play this week.

Keep an eye on this one, but if Fifita starts, the Wildcats should do their part, along with 30-plus points from Washington State for the Over to hit.

Utah has a solid defense, but the Utes are terrible on offense. The unit has struggled without Cam Rising at QB, but tack on injuries to additional key personnel, and it has become even worse.

Their defense may be good enough to contain a decent Cal offense, but the Golden Bears run game (217.3 YPG) will keep it close, if not help Cal win outright.

A $100 wager will result in a $372 payday, your stake plus $272 in winnings. If you are open to some risk, take Cal to win at +375. The parlay odds become +827, meaning a $100 wager will result in a $927 payday, your stake and $827 in winnings.

College football parlay No. 3 at Caesars Sportsbook

• Texas A&M-Tennessee Under 55 -110
• Devin Neal Over 88.5 rushing yards -101
• College football parlay odds: +280

The Texas A&M offense has potential, but it is unreliable. But the Aggies defense is as tough as they come, especially up front. The Vols will not maintain their 231.2 YPG rushing average.

Tennessee has a solid defense that the Texas A&M offense will struggle to gain traction against. This contest will be a low-scoring game.

Devin Neal is one of two good running backs for a Kansas offense that is fresh off a 399-yard performance against UCF. Oklahoma State has struggled against the run this season, which should mean they'll probably get a heavy dose of Neal.

He's had 89-plus yards in every game but one this season.

A $100 wager will result in a $380 payday, your stake plus $280 in winnings.

College football parlay No. 4 at Bet365

• Riley Leonard Under 1.5 passing touchdowns -155
• Brady Cook Over 1.5 passing touchdowns -115
• Brian Thomas Jr., Anytime touchdown scorer -150
• CFB parlay odds: +413

Leonard has been a fantastic player for Duke this season, but he only has three touchdown passes in five games and never more than one. On the other hand, Brady Cook has thrown for at least two touchdowns in five of six games this season.

He'll need to pass the ball a lot if Missouri is going to beat Kentucky.

Thomas Jr. has nine touchdowns this season, at least one in five of six games, and plays with one of the best quarterbacks in the country. It would be surprising if he did not catch at least one touchdown against Auburn.

A $100 wager will result in a $513 payday, your stake plus $413 in winnings.
