Saturday’s Best College Football Same Game Parlays

(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)

Pop-Tarts Bowl Same Game Parlay: No. 12 BYU vs. No. 22 Georgia Tech

  • Leg 1: BYU -3.5 (-112)
  • Leg 2: Haynes King 60+ Rushing Yards (-173)
  • Leg 3: Bear Bachmeier 46+ Rushing  Yards (-119)

This game pits two teams with strong run games. Both teams have excellent dual-threat quarterbacks, supported by an impressive backfield.

BYU quarterback Bear Bachmeier had a great freshman campaign with 2,708 passing yards, 527 rushing yards and 25 total touchdowns. The Cougars’ offense ranks 11th in offensive expected points added (EPA) per play (0.185), with a special emphasis on run, as that ranks 11th in EPA per rush (0.175). 

The Yellow Jackets’ offense has the talent to keep up. That starts with quarterback Haynes King, who has thrown for 2,697 yards and rushed for 922 yards. However, BYU could have a defensive unit that could stifle them, as they rank 32nd in defensive success (38.2%) and 38th in yards per play (5.2). The big concern is over Georgia Tech’s defense, which ended its College Football Playoff (CFP) bid. In their final four games, they allowed 34+ points three times.

Wasabi Fenway Bowl Same Game Parlay: Army vs. UConn

  • Leg 1: UConn +7.5 (-112)
  • Leg 2: Under 42.5 Points (-115)
  • Leg 3: Cam Edwards Anytime Touchdown Scorer (-135)

There will be changes for UConn in 2026 as a few of their most prominent players head into the transfer portal, along with head coach Jim Mora going to Colorado State; however, a few of the players who opted for the transfer portal will play in this game. The Huskies' most important offensive players finished with some of the top stats in the FBS. Quarterback Joe Fagnano ranked 10th in passing yards (3,448). Among 111 quarterbacks who threw at least 10 passing touchdowns, he was the only one with one or fewer interceptions. That helped Skyler Bell finish second with 1,278 receiving yards. Connecticut also has an option to use the ground game with Cam Edwards, whose 1,132 rushing yards rank 19th.

That could prove to be tough for Army’s offense, which is the nation’s heaviest run team at 85.5%. Quarterback Cale Hellums does not throw; he has never attempted more than 11 passes in any game this season, finishing with 586 passing yards. He will run the triple option, where he led all quarterbacks with 289 carries and 1,178 rushing yards.

Connecticut has struggled to stop the run, ranking 113th in rushing yards allowed per game (191.0) and 125th in EPA per rush (0.092). Army will be able to move the ball on the ground, but UConn could do enough offensively to keep this game close.

Parlay Odds: +516

Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl Same Game Parlay: Clemson vs. Penn State

  • Leg 1: Penn State Alt Spread +3.5 (-149)
  • Leg 2: Cade Klubnik 230+ Passing Yards (-143)
  • Leg 3: T.J. Moore 60+ Receiving Yards (-166)

Penn State won its final three games, but they were against teams in the bottom five in the Big Ten standings. Still, after losing their head coach and starting quarterback in back-to-back weeks, a 6-6 record feels like a victory. They will be missing several offensive players, including running back Nicholas Singleton, who has opted out. The disparity between Singleton and Kaytron Allen was larger this season, as Allen out-touched Singleton 210-123. They've relied on Allen a lot more since the season-ending injury to Drew Allar, and he is coming in with 22+ carries in the final three games.

Clemson also has many players opting out of this game. However, there's one crucial player that will suit up for the Tigers - quarterback Cade Klubnik. The quarterback will cap off his career that had ups and downs; once considered an early-season Heisman Trophy candidate, it turned into a highly disappointing season. This is his final chance to prove to the NFL that he is someone worth taking a chance on.

The cold conditions will play into the Nittany Lions’ hands, who will have the advantage in the run game and know how to play in this weather. That could help them end the season on a high note with a potential upset.
