mybookie App Download App

The official opening week of the college football season is here, and while it is always tough to put together winning tickets in the early going, we are definitely going to give it a shot. We are putting together a trio of parlay tickets that you can mix and match, add to your own selections, or totally ignore. The choice is yours, with the hope being that we can all walk away from the opening weekend with a few extra bucks in our pockets. There will definitely be some risk taking with our picks, so keep that in mind, plus the fact that some of these games come earlier in the week as opposed to Saturday. Enough talking, let’s get to the parlay tickets for Week 1 of the college football season.

Regular Season: August 26 to December 9

Utah, UNC, LSU

NCAA Football Parlay Picks: SU Parlay – Utah, UNC, LSU

We are focusing on some of the bigger games on the Week 1 schedule to put together our SU parlay ticket. We get the ball rolling on Thursday with a rematch of last season’s Week 1 game between Utah and Florida. It was the Gators who won a close one last year, but I like the Utes to exact revenge on Thursday.

It’s North Versus South this weekend, with a pair of teams from the Carolinas going head-to-head. The Tar Heels will be looking to get off to a similar start to last season, while the South Carolina Gamecocks will be looking to build on a very decent year. I am leaning towards UNC in this one.

The biggest game on the Week 1 schedule comes on Sunday night in primetime, with LSU and Florida State squaring off. Both teams have playoff hopes heading into the new season, but a loss here could make that tough, I am on LSU to win a close one.

TCU, Tennessee, North Texas

NCAA Football Parlay Picks: ATS Parlay – TCU (-20 ½), Tennessee (-28), North Texas (+6 ½)

Our first look at the Colorado Buffaloes, led by Deion Sanders, will come this weekend, but they have a tough start against a TCU team that went to the Natty last season. The Horned Frogs have covered the spread in 5 of their last 6 at home and should do the same here.

Big spreads always make me a little nervous, but that is very much par for the course in Week 1 when you have powerhouse schools going against lesser light. The Volunteers should come out flying and I like them to blow out the Cavaliers.

I always like to try and find some potential upsets in the mix, and I think we might have one with Cal heading to North Texas to face the Mean Green. The spread here seems a little too high to me, with the potential for an underdog win very much on high.

SMU, Washington, USC

NCAA Football Parlay Picks: O/U Parlay – SMU (U66), Washington (O58 ½), USC (O66)

While I certainly think we will see a lot of offense in the matchup between SMU and Louisiana Tech, I think the posted number is just a touch on the high side of things. In their last 9 September games, the UNDER has hit 6 times for SMU.

This one certainly feels like a bit of a risk when you consider that a lot of the trends for Boise State and Washington point to the UNDER. That said, the Huskies trend towards the over in September games, so let’s take that risk.

We have already seen the Trojans play a game this season, as they beat San Jose State by a score of 56-28 in Week 1. I have to believe that they will cross the 50-point mark again this week, so let’s ride with the OVER.
