Top College Football Same Game Parlays: Conference Championships
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
No. 3 Georgia vs. No. 9 Alabama
- Leg 1: Ty Simpson Over 250.5 Passing Yards (-114)
- Leg 2: Nate Frazier Over 60.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
- Leg 3: Alabama Moneyline (+114)
The Alabama Crimson Tide already knocked off the Georgia Bulldogs once this year. Now they’ll go for a repeat in the SEC Championship game.
Ty Simpson delivered in that game, adding 276 passing yards in the win. He’s thrown for fewer than 150 yards in two straight games, but Alabama will need his arm, especially when facing an average pass rush and a secondary that is far from perfect.
That said, Nate Frazier should be fed. He just earned 6.8 yards a carry in his last game against Georgia Tech. In addition, he’s added at least 16 carries in two of his previous three games. Furthermore, he’s recorded a long rush of 21+ yards in three of his last four games.
When it’s all said and done, I like Alabama to escape again. Alabama needs to tackle better, but overall, its defense is better. Simpson has also played better overall at quarterback and could potentially win the Heisman Trophy. Give me Alabama on the Moneyline to finish off this parlay.
Parlay Odds: +634
No. 2 Indiana vs. No. 1 Ohio State
- Leg 1: Fernando Mendoza Over 210.5 Passing Yards (-114)
- Leg 2: Jeremiah Smith Over 73.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
- Leg 3: Indiana +4.5 (-115)
Fernando Mendoza has secured at least 232 passing yards in 67% of games this season. Mendoza played teams like Iowa, Oregon and Penn State, and still added at least 211 passing yards in all of those games. You’d expect the same against Ohio State, in a game where Indiana might not always have the lead.
On the flip side, Ohio State will do its thing on offense, too. Jeremiah Smith hasn’t recorded more than 40 receiving yards since November 8th. He’s missed some games due to injury/rest, but he’ll be ready to go in this one.
Smith has averaged 6.6 receptions per game over the last 10 games. He’s also had just two games with fewer than five, and those came over the last two games. He’ll get up for this one. He’s one of the best receivers in Ohio State history.
Finally, I won’t guarantee an Indiana win. But I do think the game will be close and won by a field goal. Both teams are the best in the nation, fighting for a Big Ten spot. The team with the ball will likely win the game. Give me Indiana +4.5.
Parlay Odds: +425
