This week's college football parlay picks
College football picks based on the odds from our best college football betting sites.
The Yellow Jackets were the seventh-worst scoring offense in the nation two years ago, averaging 17.2 points per game. After the season, they picked up King from the transfer portal, and he made an immediate impact. Last year, they averaged 31.1 points, as King threw for 2,842 yards and 27 touchdowns.
King threw for 200 or more yards in eight of his 12 regular season games last season. On three different occasions, he threw for over 300. The Seminoles were one of the best defensive teams in the nation last year. While they return plenty of talent and pick up some key players, such as Marvin Jones Jr. from Georgia, the unit will be worse in 2024 than it was a season ago.
Look for King to take advantage of some early-season grow ing pains from the Seminoles' defense, as he plays from behind and easily clears 200 yards.
- Matchup: Florida State vs. Georgia Tech
- When: Saturday, Aug. 24, at noon ET
- Where: Aviva Stadium, Dublin, Ireland
- Favorite: Florida State -11.5 (-110 via DraftKings)
The Wolf Pack allowed the 19th-most points per game last year, giving up 33.4 points per contest. They also allowed 442.8 total yards per game, ninth-worst in the nation. Drawing SMU in the first game of what is sure to be a long rebuilding year is devastating.
The Mustangs scored the eighth-most points per game last year, averaging 38.7 per contest. The offense returns its starting quarterback, Preston Stone, and leading rusher from a year ago, Jaylan Knighton.
Stone averaged 15.5 yards per completion last season, throwing for 3,197 yards, 28 touchdowns, and six interceptions. The Mustang s scored 30 or more points in 10 games with him at the helm. The Wolf Pack defense is still terrible. The Mustangs are going to win this one comfortably.
- Matchup: SMU vs. Nevada
- When: Saturday, Aug. 24, at 8 p.m. ET
- Where: Mackay Stadium, Reno, Nev.
- Favorite: SMU -27 (-110 via DraftKings)
The Bobcats opened as 4.5-point favorites, and the spread has grown as high as 11.5 at some of our best sports betting sites. While the Bobcats are rightfully favored in this game, bettors seem to have gotten a little too excited at the prospect of an FCS team beating an FBS team on their home turf. We'll shy away from the double-digit spread with Bronco Mendenhall taking over as the Lobos head coach.
That said, we fully expect the Bobcats to score at least 34 points in this game. The Lobos allowed 35.1 points per game last season – the eighth-most in the nation – and gave up more than 40 points five times. Mendenhall may turn this program around, but he won't fix the defense overnight.
The Bobcats averaged 39.9 points per game last season, and they return their starting quarterback, Tommy Mellott, and leading rusher, Julius Davis. The Lobos' offense may be better than expected in this game, but the defense will watch players run past them for 60 minutes.
- Matchup: Montana State vs. New Mexico
- When: Saturday, Aug. 24, at 4 p.m. ET
- Where: University Stadium (NM), Albuquerque, N.M.
- Favorite: Montana State -10.5 (-110 via DraftKings)
