Pay Off College Parlay – College Football Week 8

pay-off-college-parlay-dillon-hepp-2022-week-7-picks

Last week, the payoff college parlay flopped and it flopped hard. There were some tight moments where I felt like it could cover and then I’d check the Texas game and all hope would disappear. Slowly but surely, other teams began to let me down too (*cough-cough* TEXAS). Some did so in dramatic fashion and others in an absolute blowout. That’s on me, and I will strive to do better because, at the end of the day, I only plan to pay my student loans if it’s done the gritty way like sweating a 10-leg parlay on a Saturday. So, let’s lock-n-load for another great College Football Weekend!

Final Record from Week 7 of College Football: 4-5

Winners: Auburn @ Ole Miss – Over 55, OKST @ TCU – OKST +4, Alabama @ Tennessee +7, Penn State @ Michigan – Over 50.5

Losers: Penn State +7, Texas -16.5 & Over 48.5, Florida -2.5, Kansas +9

Syracuse @ Clemson – Spread: Clem -14, O/U: 49.5

I originally wanted to put a picture of Mike Tirico in here but it pains me to see his face if he’s not in the Notre Dame commentator booth. Screw Jason Garrett.

I’m taking Syracuse plus the points and GIVE ME THE OVER! Let me start by saying: I do not love this pick. After last week’s upsetting results, I am more fearful of home field advantages than I would usually be. In most cases, I think the visiting team can tune out the noise, but it seems to me that there are more mental midgets on the field than there used to be, coaches especially (I’m looking at you, James Franklin). Regardless of my feelings, I think Syracuse has a decent unit that is poised to do some damage. Clemson has looked unsettled against certain ranked opponents and after last week’s Tennessee win, I just love watching the underdog topple the big college football dynasties of this generation. Go ‘Cuse.

BYU @ Liberty – Spread: BYU -7, O/U: 58

Terrible image quality but what do you expect? It’s BYU. Also 87 is the greatest TE in the country.

I’m taking BYU -7. Once again, another game I’m not foaming at the mouth for but, when in doubt, just take the bet. BYU has been bad the last few weeks, but I have to see this as their bounce back game. Liberty is 6-1 and that’s really all I know about them. Seriously, who watches Liberty? Either way, a quick Google search let me know that while Liberty’s only loss was to a good Wake Forest by a single point, they have also beat some pretty bad opponents by slim margins like Gardner-Webb. Go Cougars.

Boston College @ Wake Forest – Spread: Wake -20.5, O/U: 60

Sam Hartman is a dawg. Please be one this weekend.

Gimme Wake Forest -20.5. Let me start by saying I know 20.5 is a lot, but Wake’s got an incredible spread offense built on scoring points. Now, it wouldn’t be my blog if I didn’t immediately second guess myself by saying I haven’t watched a Wake Forest game since they narrowly lost to Clemson, so I am fully hoping that they are the exact same team that they were on that day. On the Boston College side of things, well there is not much to say. Boston College is bad and I don’t expect them to do a lot, if any, damage in this game. Go Demon Deacons.

Northwestern @ Maryland – Spread: Maryland -14, O/U: 51

Tua right-handed is a beautiful sight.

Maryland and the points (-14). I don’t know what it is about Maryland, but they are a sleeper team in my head. Whenever I think of a backdoor cover, I think of Maryland. While today’s game is not necessarily a backdoor cover situation, I do think it’s time I look at them as a team that can cover the spread when they are favored and not just in underdog moments. From a team standpoint, there is not much I can say other than the Terps have Tua’s brother and he’s right-handed, which Tua should have been if he didn’t want his brain to turn to apple sauce. Northwestern is bad. I’ll leave it at that. Go Terps!

Ole Miss @ LSU – Spread: LSU -1.5, O/U 65

Angry little troll.

Ole Miss plus the points (1.5). Kelly and his famuhhhly burned me last week. They went into the Swamp and dominated the Florida Gators. I’m not mad at myself but rather the entire state of Florida because how can you let that man win in your stadium when he can’t win in his own? Thinking of never going to Florida for Spring Break again because of that loss. Regardless, I’m taking Ole Miss because, like I just said, Kelly can’t hold it down at home and I like this Ole Miss team. I really hate Brian Kelly. Go Rebels.

Kansas State @ TCU – Spread: TCU -3.5, O/U: 54.5

Give me this today. That’s all I ask for.

Hammer the Over. I’ve come to the realization that betting Overs & Unders is way better than the spread. Just rooting for great offense is amazing, which is why I am strictly taking this over. I just want to see points fly on the board and not give a damn about who scores what, just as long as they score. This is also contradictory to all my other picks because I picked the spreads in almost every bet, but that’s life. TCU is also very good and can light up the board as we saw last week. Go, either team – just score points.

Potential Payout:

Like always boys and girls, we are looking for low-risk, high-reward situations. A mere $10 bet on the Pay-Off College Parlay can yield you $1,980. Don’t sleep on these picks because the day you do, might just be the day it hits. Let’s make some dough and watch some college football and, as always, Go Irish!
