I’m making my best Texas vs. Ohio State parlay picks and predictions as the top-ranked Longhorns travel to Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, for a noon ET kickoff on FOX today against the third-ranked Buckeyes. Ohio State is favored between 1 and 1.5 points for the biggest game of college football's Week 1.

My college football picks expect young quarterbacks Arch Manning and Julian Sayin to struggle, and I break down why oddsmakers have laid a perfect trap with the total s part of our college football predictions for Week 1.

💰 Best Texas vs. Ohio State SGP bets

Here are my favorite Texas vs. Ohio State picks for Week 1 based on the best college football odds for the full parlay.

🚀 Arch Manning Under 230.5 passing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Manning threw passes in six games last season. In the two games where he threw at least 29 passes, he cleared at least 258 yards in each, and he set a season-high with 325 against Mississippi State.

However, Manning hasn’t played meaningful minutes against a team like Ohio State. The defending national champions allowed the second-fewest passing yards per game last season. This total is assuming far too much from a quarterback who has proven nothing.

🚀 Under 47.5 (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Even with 56% of bettors backing the Over, the total has dropped a half-point since opening at 48. Oddsmakers are setting a trap for the public.

All the hype is around Manning, but Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin is about to make his first start after throwing just 12 passes last season. Ohio State and Texas ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in scoring defense a year ago, and I expect them to dominate this game.

🚀 DeAndre Moore Jr. Over 3.5 receptions (+112) ⭐⭐⭐

Against Mississippi State last season, Manning and Moore connected four times for 104 yards and two touchdowns. Though the two didn’t have nearly as much success in Manning’s other start, I like Moore here because he has experience against the Buckeyes.

Last season, he caught four passes for 31 yards against them. That's not a lot of yards, but I expect him to be Manning’s favorite target this season, especially in this game.

❓College football parlay betting FAQs

What is a parlay bet in college football?

A parlay combines multiple bets (spreads, totals, props, or moneylines) into one wager, with all selections needing to win for the bet to cash. Parlays are popular in college football betting because they offer bigger payouts.

How do college football parlay odds work?

Parlay odds are calculated by multiplying the odds of each individual selection, which increases both the potential payout and the risk. The more legs you add, the higher the reward but the lower the probability of winning.

Are parlays a smart betting strategy for college football?

Parlays can be fun for chasing large payouts but are harder to win consistently. Many sharp bettors prefer single-game wagers, but college football parlay bets can add excitement when used responsibly.
