Following a wild college football regular season, we’ve arrived at the most wonderful time of the year. Bowl season is here and with it comes plenty of games for college football fans to wager on over the course of the next few weeks. We’ve got a trio of games on tap on Thursday featuring both Power 5 and Group of 5 teams alike. These games might not be on everyone 217;s radar, but we can still win on them!
You can read all our college football predictions on Thursday’s games, but without any further ado, here’s my 3-leg NCAAF parlay with a potential payout of +1349 odds. Let's take a look at each of the legs.

Rutgers Scarlet Knights -1.5 over Miami Hurricanes (-108)
We’re expecting plenty of rain and windy weather on Thursday, and that is probably more disruptive to the warm-weather Hurricanes than the local, ground-based Scarlet Knights. Additionally, while Miami will be missing 4 or 5 players on offense, including their starting quarterback and 5 or 6 guys on defense, Rutgers is missing a couple of players that aren’t much of significance. Add in the fact that this season was mostly a disappointment for Miami and I am not sure how much motivation and energy will be on their sideline. I’m not expecting much scoring at all in this one, and that also has me looking toward the Rutgers side given that Greg Schiano’s group is more comfortable keeping the ball on the ground and chewing up clock. Given all of these factors, I'll be backing the State University of New Jersey in this one.
