New Year’s Day Best College Football Same Game Parlay Picks: Texas vs. Washington
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Texas vs. Washington
- Leg 1: Washington +4 (-110)
- Leg 2: Michael Penix Jr. Over 313.5 Passing Yards (-115)
- Leg 3: Quinn Ewers Over 288.5 Passing Yards (-105)
The Texas offense has to face a severe dilemma as they'll be without their leading rusher Jonathan Brooks, so they'll look to CJ Baxter, who had 4.6 yards per, and Jaydon Blue, who had 6.1, and both are highly effective on passing downs. They have Quinn Ewers, who saw his stock rise this year, going from a 58.1% completion rate last year to 70.1% and 7.2 passing yards per completion to 9.0, with Adonis Mitchell and Xavier Worthy being two explosive playmakers. On the defensive side, the front seven will play a pivotal role as they've been successful in the pass rush with 32 sacks and top ten in stuff rate.
That battle in the trenches will be the matchup to watch against an exceptional Washington offensive line that only allowed 11 sacks and won the Joe Moore Award for the best offensive line. They kept Michael Penix Jr. upright throughout last year's Alamo Bowl with five pressures in 55 passing attempts, and if you give him time to go through his progressions, then it's difficult for any defensive unit to stop him.
It's hard to find a hole in the Washington offense; their top seven in passing and rushing success and 14th in finishing drives. Texas will have to match the offensive energy, and they have a legitimate shot, with the Huskies being 119th in passing yards allowed. With both teams having exceptional defensive fronts, it will be who can get that edge in the play-action pass and exploit the secondary. That advantage goes to Washington, which ranked better on play-action success rate. The Huskies will win again, with both quarterbacks having monster stats.
