We have a full slate of Week 3 college football action on Saturday. One of the headlines is a 9:00 pm ET showdown between the Miami Hurricanes and Texas A&M Aggies. The ACC-SEC battle can be seen live on ESPN. It's an especially important contest for the Aggies, who are coming off a loss to Appalachian State.
Below is our same game parlay for the matchup, and also be sure to check out our full Miami-Texas A&M preview in addition to all of our NCAAF predictions.
Part of the value in same game parlays, of course, is that all of its components can be correlated if you so choose. However, plays that aren't correlated drive up the overall payout of the parlay. That is the case here, as Devon Achane racking up his fair share of yards on the ground doesn't necessarily work with plays on Miami and the under. But let's dive into why all three have good chances to hit.
Miami +6.5 (-125)
Texas A&M is quite simply in a state of crisis. That's what happens when you lose at home to Appalachian State. Head coach Jimbo Fisher has been facing questions about his quarterback and his play-calling; the former has been answered. Haynes King struggled mightily against the Mountaineers, going just 13-of-20 for 97 yards. Fisher has made the move to LSU transfer Max Johnson, who will start on Saturday. This game could come down to quarterback play. Meanwhile, Tyler Van Dyke has turned the Hurricanes' offense around and they boast the third-highest passing attack in the nation at 381 yards per game. Van Dyke has thrown only12 incompletions through two weeks. Of course, he may not have to do it all. Running back Henry Parrish Jr. is averaging 5.9 yards per attempt as part of a running game that has put up 243.5 yards per game so far. This is a winnable game for the 'Canes, so will happily take almost a touchdown's worth of points.
