I'm thinking of eating some chalk in college football and throwing together a list of 6-10 teams that will win easily to put into a parlay. I know a lot of people don't like this style, but I think there is a solid chance at making some money here.

Feel free to comment on any of these or add in any of your own. Here are the games I've picked as pretty much guaranteed wins:

120 Ohio State* -10000 vs Ohio
133 Alabama* -1900 vs Duke
146 SMU* -1900 vs Washington State
152 Oregon State* -1100 vs Louisville
158 TCU* -1500 vs Baylor
166 Kentucky* -2800 vs Akron
183 Boise State* -2400 vs Wyoming
202 Texas A&M* -4000 vs Florida International

Also took a look at Penn St., but don't know if I trust a freshman QB on the road- and I'm not really sold on Penn St. Also, Virginia Tech...but after that horrific loss last week it's hard for me to be confident in them.

Taking a look at the lesser of the chalk: Wisconsin and Florida St stand out to me as solid picks for this parlay. Stanford, Utah, UTEP?

Comments/suggestions? Help me piece together this parlay

I would be very very very careful about that TCU v Baylor game... Robert Griffin is a dangerous player and Art Briles runs a scheme that is tough to defend against...If TCU even remotely sputters on offense it could be a huge upset... Also this actually a old huge Rivalry game from the SWC... the schools do not like each other at all...

Penn State plays at home. They will beat Kent State by 30+

[jds07v]

Well right now you are betting 100 to win 34. So you're at a -300 line. I would personally take out the Baylor TCU game. Replace that game with Utah (-1600) and Adding Stanford (-800) would get you up to a -210ish line.

I guess it depends on how much you are betting and how much you want to win. A friend of mine employs this method with some success. The key is to pick closer moneylines so your break even point lowers, or deal with the fact that if you do lose, it will take 2-3 wins to balance it out.

I prefer to play 1-3 actual spreads, and then play a 3-team 10 point teaser. I find a (few maybe) spreads that I really like, and then tease down some totals. A trick for that is to not tease down a favorite that is less than 10 points, because you lose value crossing the PICK line. I try to look for key numbers (taking a 7 underdog to a 17). I find that a lot of the totals in college are soft, while the spreads in pros can be easily picked apart with a tease. You can find some decent teams catching 17 or more with the tease in the nfl this week.

[PAYTON20]

Thanks for the opinion and information on the Baylor vs TCU game, I will remove that one. I wouldn't do a 100 to win 34, I am going to add in a couple of lesser MLs to increase the payout. Here is one that I just put together:

120 Ohio State* -10000
133 Alabama* -1900
138 Florida State* -390
146 SMU* -1800
148 Wisconsin* -550
152 Oregon State* -1100
166 Kentucky* -3200
183 Boise State* -1900
202 Texas A&M* -5000

This parlay pays out even money. Adding Penn St and Utah would boost it to 1.3 to 1.
Dropping Florida St (the least of the favorites) and adding Utah and Penn St would make it a 0.83 to 1 payout

[jds07v]

I follow Florida State religiously. I went to school there for two years, and then transferred out. Last year FSU physically dominated BYU. They controlled the line of scrimmage and ran the ball down BYU's throat. BYU has shown this year that they still have problems stopping the run. They lost their QB in Hall, their 2nd best receiving threat in their TE Pitta, and they lost their 2nd rb in Tonga. Their QB situation has been in flux, as neither player has played his way into a starting role. I think FSU will pull this one out for you, although I will not personally make any play on it.

[stefan084]

Penn State will cover this week, let alone win the game. I have been a PSU fan my whole life and know them inside and out. Also born in State College-use them in your parlay.PSU by 4 touchdowns this week

[PAYTON20]

Leaning toward dropping Florida St out and adding Utah and Penn State to these teams:

120 Ohio State* -10000
133 Alabama* -1900
146 SMU* -1800
148 Wisconsin* -550
152 Oregon State* -1100
166 Kentucky* -3200
183 Boise State* -1900
202 Texas A&M* -5000

Would pay 0.83 to 1. Willing to give up some on the payout to stay on the safer side
Can anyone see Arizona St beating Wisconsin, or Louisville taking down Oregon St?

[ACCBlitz]

Purdue -700
Penn State -1400
Alabama -2000
Oregon State -1200
Oklahoma -750
Boise State -2000
Stanford -800

Pays $.86 for every $1

[ACCBlitz]

One more to toy with:

Purdue -700
Penn State -1400
Alabama -2000
SMU Mustangs -2000
Wisconsin -550
Oregon State -1200
Oklahoma -750
TCU -1600
Utah Utes -1800
Stanford -800

Pays $1.60 for every $1

[PAYTON20]

ACCBlitz... so you really like Purdue and Oklahoma? I don't know anything about Purdue and it worries me a little that Oklahoma struggles so much in their first game against Utah St. I guess it was their first game and they came back strong to deliver the knockout punch against FSU

[ACCBlitz]

Purdue was just a throw in. They're playing Ball State lol. Parlays are simply for fun for me.

As for Oklahoma, don't let that Utah State game fool you. The Sooners are legit. The spread is questionable, but ML is good to go. Air Force will NOT beat them

[PAYTON20]

Louisville looks decent as well as Baylor (although they played 2 cupcake opponents- but they do have a standout QB). Are TCU and Oregon St safe plays here? Opinions on which is the safer play?

[PAYTON20]

The Ohio St, Texas A&M, and Kentucky plays don't really help the payout enough to be worth it- so I narrowed it down to:

Penn State* -1300
Alabama* -1900
SMU* -1800
Wisconsin* -550
Oklahoma* -750
Boise State* -1900

Then I'm trying to decide between 3 more games. I want to add 2 out of these 3 games. Suggestions please...
152 Oregon State* -1100 (home) vs Louisville
158 TCU* -1500 (home) vs Baylor
177 Utah* -1600 @ New Mexico

[ACCBlitz]

I'd go Oregon State and Utah. TCU is good but Baylors QB is straight NASTY.

[PAYTON20]

Yeah that's what I'm hearing. I was inclined to take the two home teams, but I guess New Mexico is pretty garbage. Louisville scares me a little because it looks like they have a high-powered offense though?

ACC I see you're on Nebraska going against my Dawgs?? Haha, I know a lotta people on this same pick. I'll be at the game rooting against you

[ACCBlitz]

Jake Locker is a BEAST. Easily one of my fav players to watch, but this was one my head was saying Washington but I had that feeling to go Nebraska. If not for me having a wager on it, I'd be pulling for y'all

[spongerat]

add whoevers playing washington state, new mexico, new mexico state

[agharah1]

Utah should handle New Mexico. UNM is one of the worst teams in the nation this year. I've said the same about Wazzu this season but I *still* think SMU is on upset alert against them. Wisconsin is a stone cold lock though.

Man, this frustrates me that Bodog was the only book I could deposit into this season. If the spread isn't within a TD or less they won't publish a moneyline. I get that they publish their lines at the very last minute to discourage sharps but I had been looking forward to betting Alabama moneyline vs. Penn State all summer!

Why can't you deposit into another book? And why do you think Wazzu has a shot to beat SMU?

Easy my friend. Nothing is guaranteed in gambling. I used the word guaranteed in the thread title because I did not want to use the "L" word. I am confident with these picks, but always tread with caution

What a lock

I was at the game, miserable and embarrassing- need to change my avatar haha. I really believe Locker is over-rated as a QB. Great athlete, but not such a great QB...

[drfunkmaster]

i needed wisconsin -3.5.. Fvking idoits could not get a FG in final 40 seconds in FG range too...

Nice win though...

Let's have an open discussion about it in this thread for next week.

Everyone feel free to post a couple picks and/or insight into games. We all live in different areas and I'm sure a lot of us know certain teams better than others

I have yet to look the the college lines for next week, but will take a look soon.
