Early College Football Week 13 Parlay Picks

Rivalry Week is here, but who will take home the glory? Here are our early college football parlay picks for the Week 13 holiday weekend.

At this point in the season, Georgia is the only team that we can confidently say is in the College Football Playoff. Even if the Bulldogs lose in the SEC Championship, they will make it in. After that, a dumpster fire is taking over the sport. 

With so many shocking upsets this season, it’s safe to assume that we’ll see more of it during Rivalry Week. This week, games mean more than ever, and upsets will be in abundance.

If you can navigate the murky waters of rivalry week, you can find a profitable parlay. There is risk, but you’re not alone. We’re here to find you a valuable parlay for the upcoming week of college football games. 

Here’s a look at my top early parlay picks for Week 13 of college football action (odds via FanDuel Sportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Week 13 College Football Parlay Predictions

Alabama vs. Auburn +19.5 (-110)

Alabama lost its last two games at Jordan-Hare Stadium. This year, the Tide have struggled against SEC opponents. Plenty of winnable games were decided by one possession, which doesn’t speak well for a 19.5-point spread.

Auburn is without QB Bo Nix (ankle), but T.J. Finley is a solid quarterback. He struggled last week, but he has the upside necessary to compete with the Tide. Also, the Tigers will be heavily motivated to beat Alabama in head coach Bryan Harsin’s first rivalry meeting.

If you can’t bring your best against a bitter rival, you shouldn’t play in the Iron Bowl. Auburn will be ready to go Saturday, and the Tide will likely struggle early. They should still snap their road losing skid in this series, but they won’t blow out the Tigers. Too many crazy things have happened in this stadium to expect that.

Clemson vs. South Carolina +11.5 (-110)

Last week, Clemson finally looked like the team we expected to see at the beginning of the year. However, that does not mean that the Tigers will bring it for another week against a rival on the road. Clemson had every reason to be hyped last week, but this will come down to discipline and execution.

South Carolina should have been the worst team in the SEC this year. The Gamecocks started the season with a grad assistant as the starting quarterback. However, they have rallied around the coach and have plenty of quality wins. They are solid against the spread at 5-5-1 for the season, and especially when they play against high-level teams.

This is South Carolina’s first chance to beat Clemson in a long time, with its last win in the series being in 2013. The Gamecocks have momentum, and Clemson is the worst it has been since before QB Deshaun Watson. South Carolina will be ready at home, and it doesn't win, it should at least cover the spread and turn this one into a slugfest.

Ohio State (-320) vs. Michigan

Once again, the Ohio State Buckeyes control their own destiny as they head into Rivalry Week. Meanwhile, Michigan is looking to upset its bitter rival and take home bragging rights. Once again, the Wolverines will fail.

Michigan has one of its best teams in recent memory, but it is still susceptible to an upset. We saw that when Michigan lost to Michigan State earlier in the season. Michigan’s biggest weakness seems to be the big games, and that has been a mental roadblock. 

Ohio State has a great team this year, and it should be able to win this game outright. The spread is a little too high at -5.5, but adding this moneyline value to the parlay makes it worth considering. You already have two traditional bets, so this makes it all even out.

Combined odds: +378
