Top College Football Same Game Parlays: Week 7

(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)

No. 7 Alabama vs. No. 11 Tennessee

• Leg 1: Alabama -3 (-112)
• Leg 2: Jalen Milroe 225+ Passing Yards (-155)
• Leg 3: Ryan Williams Anytime Touchdown (-130)

This is one of the biggest games of the weekend for where each of these teams are in the rankings. Alabama and Tennessee each have a loss, and they don't want the second one in this conference.

Alabama’s biggest problem has been the defense. This isn't your parents’ defense when you could lock them in for being a top-ten. They are 42nd in the country by allowing 20.8 points, but they have been torched on third down. Over their last two games, they've allowed a 57.3% third-down conversion rate. 

They have the offensive ability, thanks to Heisman candidate Jalen Milroe. He is currently second in the nation, and his 23 combined passing and rushing touchdowns lead the country.  Much of that is thanks to freshman Ryan Williams, who has become a star in recent weeks.

Tennessee has played excellent football, but the wool could be pulled over our eyes. According to Pro Football Focus, their strength of schedule is 82nd, and now that they're getting into their conference schedule, their vulnerabilities are showing.

The defense has allowed 743 total yards in the last two games, and it isn't just on one end; they've given up over 220 passing yards and 130 rushing yards in each. 

Nico Iamaleava is starting to experience pressure, and he's having trouble handling it. He's coming into this game without back-to-back performances without a passing touchdown and has been sacked at least three times in three straight games.

Even with Alabama’s defensive struggles, the offense can make up for it and with Milroe knowing this rivalry very well and this being Iamaleava’s first time, that experience will help Bama win.

Total: +451

No. 5  Georgia vs. No. 1 Texas

• Leg 1: Texas -5 (-110)
• Leg 2: Quinn Ewers 258+ Passing Yards (-120)
• Leg 3: Carson Beck 271+ Passing Yards (-115)

It's hard to argue against Texas being the best team in the nation. Even Georgia's head, Kirby Smart, confirmed it as he believes Texas is as good as his National Championship Georgia teams.

It's difficult to deny it when they lead the nation, allowing 6.3 points per game, and the offense is seventh, scoring 43.2 points per game. They are efficient on offense but can also get explosive plays; six players have at least one 20+ yards catch, and seven have a 10+ yard run. 

The defense puts pressure on you almost every play, and their 9.1 sack percentage is 12th. This is a team that will not give its opponent any reprieve.

Smart admitted Texas looks like what Georgia used to be. That is true because this isn't the same Georgia. A few years ago, they had one of the best defenses that year, probably in recent memory. This year, they're 20th in points; for most programs, that's fantastic, but not when you're used to being in the top five. 

The offense is slightly one-dimensional. The run game is not there; Trevor Etienne, coming over from Florida, was supposed to elevate this offense, but averaging a career-low 5.3 yards per carry, and has yet to hit the century mark. 

This offense will hang on the shoulders of Carson Beck. He's more than capable; he mounted a comeback against Alabama by throwing for 439 yards and three touchdowns. The interceptions are what lost him that game and kept them close to a 1-5 Mississippi State. He has five, which is one away from last year's total. Texas has the sixth-most interceptions this season with seven.

Total: +554
