NCAA News: College Football Parlay Picks for Week 4
Brunch Betting (12:00 pm ET starting times)
#12 Notre Dame (+5.5) vs #18 Wisconsin (O/U 46.5) (at Soldier Field, Chicago)
Notre Dame has scored 33.3 points per game and permitted 26.7…with an average point total of 60. Wisconsin has had a lot slower games in terms of scoring, putting up 22 points while permitting just 11.5, for a total of 33.5. The combined average that they score is 55.3, so the total here is significantly lower. As seasons go by and offensive coordinators get a look at the film of opposing defenses, these numbers tend to increase slightly — so the over is an intriguing pick here. However, the Irish only put up 27 against a Purdue team that is not known as the toughest defense out there.
Given that this is a neutral-site game, and given that Wisconsin lost at home to Penn State, this line seems like a bit of an outlier. Graham Mertz hasn’t gotten off to as hot of a start as we expected after his hot start to 2020 (which dovetailed after his case of COVID-19). I’m liking the value that comes with giving Notre Dame the points, because if you look at the comparative schedules, the Irish have done more to this point.
Texas Tech (+10) at Texas (61)
These two teams average a combined 79 points per game. The Red Raiders are still unbeaten, having beaten Houston on the road, struggled against Stephen F. Austin in a close home win, and then routed FIU by 33 at home. Texas has beaten Louisiana, gotten undressed at Arkansas and then come home to rout Rice.
Texas’ problems come on defense, particularly against the running game. Texas Tech has a high-octane offense but has a way of giving up a lot of points at the same time. If this game turns into a track meet, I’m not sure that Texas can keep control, although they could win if they have the ball last.
Parlay Pick:
Notre Dame (+5.5) / Texas Tech (+10)
Prime Time Profits (Saturday night games)
#21 North Carolina (-12) vs Georgia Tech (63) (at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta)
Georgia Tech slowed down Clemson significantly on Saturday, clinging on for dear life in a 14-8 loss. That game saw a significant weather delay, though, which tends to favor teams with a grinding running style. This matchup with North Carolina will take place in a dome. Georgia Tech only scores 24.7 points per game, as their running style looks to slow down the opposition and keep the rhythm manageable.
North Carolina scores 42.7 points per game; they only scored 10 in their opener, so they have gone nuts the last two weeks, hanging 59 points apiece on Georgia State and Virginia. Their game with Virginia turned into a bit of a sprint as the Cavaliers also scored 39, but once this momentum gets rolling, the Tar Heels are hard to stop.
Cal (+7.5) at Washington (45.5)
This is a matchup of 1-2 teams; Cal lost at home to Nevada and then found a way to lose to TCU’s porous defense before coming home to beat Sacramento State in Week 3. They open Pac-12 play with a trip up the coast to play Washington. The Huskies got embarrassed at home in Week 1 by FCS program Montana. They next went to Michigan and got their hides tanned by 21. Week 3 saw a visit from Arkansas State, and the Huskies took out some frustration in a 52-3 shellacking. Given that Cal permitted 30 against Sacramento State, Washington should be able to score at will.
Parlay Pick:
North Carolina (-12) / Washington (-7.5)
