College Football Betting - Week 7 Parlay Picks

At the beginning of each week, we highlight our favorite CFB bets so that you can get in early and lock in the best possible odds. This companion piece will drop each Friday and I will talk about some advantageous parlays you can consider and the reasons why I favor them so much. These could be as simple as picking a side and the total of a single game or stringing together a couple of games into the same parlay. I’m also always digging into the prop market to find you any soft numbers that we can exploit.

I’ve dug in and identified two parlays that I think are worth jumping on this week. Week 7 offers some really intriguing matchups and I’m excited to share with you guys my favorite parlays.

Jaydn Ott Rushing Yardage Prop
Jacob Cowing Receiving Yardage Prop

(Jaydn Ott 97.5 Rushing Yards; Jacob Cowing 82.5 Receiving Yards; DraftKings Sportsbook)

The Colorado Buffaloes have been a matador defense all season long, and firing head coach Karl Dorrell isn’t going to solve that anytime soon. They’re giving up almost 300 yards per game on the ground. You heard that right — 294.2 to be exact. That includes 202 yards to Mo Ibrahim, 174 to Brad Roberts and 104 to Zach Charbonnet. Kendre Miller of TCU only received 8 carries against Colorado due to blowout, but he had over 50 yards on those touches and would have easily eclipsed 100 with his normal workload. It’s now Ott’s turn, and Cal’s talented young RB has to be licking his chops for this one. Ott burst on the scene a couple weeks back when he rushed for 274 yards against Arizona. His touches are continuing to trend up and there isn’t a single prop on the board that I’m more excited about this week.

Unfortunately, I have to pick on my Washington Huskies until they figure out how to solve their tackling issue. They’re getting picked apart in the secondary and now it’s Jacob Cowing’s turn to go nuclear. Cowing leads Arizona in targets with 69 and has been able to produce a tasty 46-643-7 stat line. Dive into his game logs and you’ll see he has eclipsed 133 receiving yards in 50% of his games. He has had at least 77 yards in each of the past three games alone. Jake Bobo (6-142-2), Michael Wilson (6-176-2), Keon Coleman (9-116-2) and Dante Cephas (6-105) have similar profiles to Cowing and they’ve all crossed the century mark with ease. 82.5 is simply too low for the type of player Cowing is anyway but he has the Washington Huskies matchup modifier this week, which is basically a cheat code to 100-plus. I’m painfully going to lock and load this part of the parlay while crying into a carton of ice cream.

Best Bet

Jaydn Ott OVER 97.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
Jacob Cowing OVER 82.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
Combined +249

Kansas Jayhawks vs. Oklahoma Sooners

(Oklahoma -9, O/U 62.5, DraftKings Sportsbook)

The Jayhawks talented dual-threat QB Jalon Daniels is injured, but I’m honestly not that worried about that as the Sooners defense has been so bad, it almost doesn’t matter who is lining up under center. Jason Bean came into the game and threw for 250-plus yards and 4 TDs last week so he is already brimming with confidence heading into an easier matchup.

Dillon Gabriel is potentially returning after taking one of the dirtier hits you’ll see a few weeks back, which is likely the reason they’re giving 9 and they’re obviously at home. The Jayhawks offense has been improved this year and they could just decide to put the ball in Devin Neal’s hands and let him crack the Sooners rush defense instead. They’re giving up 214.5 yards per game on the ground and 450 total. Until they prove they can even remotely stop anyone I’m going to be targeting against them with confidence. The Jayhawks cover and the total sails over 70 points Saturday.
