We're scouring the markets for our favorite three-leg college football parlay for Championship Week based on the best NCAAF odds at our college football betting sites.

We have fewer options than normal this week, as there are just 10 conference championship games on tap for the weekend.

However, we still identified three separate markets for this week's parlay: a total, a first-half spread, and an in-game scoring prop.  

As part of our Week 14 CFB predictions and Week 14 CFB player props for Conference Championship weekend, here are our best college football parlay predictions for conference championship week (odds via our best college football betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

College football parlay: Conference Championship Week

Oregon-Washington Under 66.5 (-110) ⭐⭐⭐ ✔️

It may seem blasphemous to bet the Under in a game involving two likely Heisman finalists who will look to one-up each other in a possible "win-and-in" playoff scenario. However, this is also the only championship game from a Power Five conference that is a rematch of a regular-season meeting. That familiarity is why we expect this game to score lower than the 36-33 Washington win in mid-October.

Washington started the season with four consecutive games of 41-plus points but has averaged just 26.3 points per game over the last three weeks. Its offense still ranks fifth in SP+, but Michael Penix Jr.'s QBR has worsened each of the previous four weeks, and he has not completed better than 57.1% of his passes in any of the last three.

A downward-trending Huskies offense now faces an Oregon defense that ranks seventh nationally in points per game allowed (15.9) despite playing in a conference where more than half of its rivals average better than 31 points.

Entering last week against Oregon State, more than three-fourths of Ducks quarterback Bo Nix's passes have traveled nine or fewer yards downfield. Thus, we look for the Huskies secondary to make an adjustment in this rematch and commit more defenders to the box to help against the run, as Washington entered last week ranked 130th or worse in Rush Success and Line Yards.

Texas -7.5 first half spread vs. Oklahoma State (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Texas may be behind Oregon as the highest-ranked one-loss team heading into its conference championship. However, its playoff hopes are certainly not dead, as its road win against Alabama still looms as one of the most impressive non-conference wins in the country.

With the Big 12 Championship kicking off at noon on Saturday, the Longhorns have the first opportunity to make a big statement to the CFP committee, starting with a dominant first 30 minutes against an Oklahoma State team that is fortunate to be playing this week.

The Cowboys rallied from an 18-point halftime deficit to beat BYU last week to clinch their spot in the Big 12 Championship, but this is now the second consecutive game they have rallied from 14-plus points down to win, the first time they have accomplished that in school history. 

Over the last seven weeks, Oklahoma State has been a much better team in the second half and overtime than in the first half. The Cowboys have been outscored by a combined 45 points in the first half in that span but have a +78 point differential after halftime and have only been outscored once over the final 30 minutes in that stretch.

Thus, the opportunity for Texas to make a big statement is in the first half, and considering it has scored 26 points in the first half in two of the previous three weeks, its offense is built for an early onslaught.

Competing sportsbooks like DraftKings have this first-half spread as high as -8.5, which is one of the key reasons bet365 is our go-to shop for this parlay.

Michigan-Iowa either team to score three unanswered times: Yes (-260) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our chalkiest pick of the parlay is also our most confident five-star play, as oddsmakers are giving it more than a puncher's chance that Iowa could be shut out in this game. DraftKings has Iowa at -130 odds to go Under 0.5 points in the first half and -115 to go scoreless in the second half. In addition, the Hawkeyes' team total touchdowns are juiced to -155 for the Under of 0.5. 

Unlike other teams playing this weekend, Michigan does not need a statement victory to earn a playoff spot, as winning on Saturday night would lock up at least a top-two seed in the playoffs. However, the Hawkeyes have scored 15 or fewer points in five of the previous six games despite facing just two defenses that rank inside SP+'s top 23 in that span (and two that rank 40th or worse).

The Wolverines have scored three or more times unanswered in every game except against the other two best teams in the conference (Ohio State and Penn State), but Iowa is not in the same class as those teams, nor does it score with the same frequency. 

We feel confident about this wager as some of our best sports betting apps have the largest lead of the game prop set to an O/U of 24.5, which suggests Michigan, at some point, is likely to have a four-score lead.

Mike started in the sports writing industry in July 2019, and gained a lot of followers in his first year after finishing with the No. 2 overall record in an annual NFL betting competition, which made picks against the spread, and from an Over/Under and moneyline perspective. Mike is an avid fan of the NFL, MLB, tennis, and all college sports. In his opinion, March Madness is the best sporting event there is, and he's especially euphoric starting with conference tournament time in college basketball. Mike's a big advocate of "fading the public" and making plays that are contrarian, constantly citing that "there are reasons why they have those big shiny buildings in Las Vegas." When making wagers, Mike always scours the best odds at all of the major sports betting sites, where he mostly sifts through DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, and bet365. He's tried several others and is of the firm belief that bettors should not just stick to one sportsbook, as there is always likely better value to be had with the same wager. In addition, while Mike received his undergraduate degree from Villanova University, he has no issue betting against the Wildcats when it comes to college basketball wagering, and suggests other bettors should always put their “head” before their “hearts.”
