I'm taking Jacksonville State to beat Kennesaw State to open tonight's CFB parlay. The Gamecocks have won two straight, recently beating Middle Tennessee last week, while Kennesaw State has lost three in a row and is allowing 30 ppg in that period. Jax State should be able to do enough to get the road win here.
For the other leg of tonight's CFB parlay, I'm going with New Mexico State to stay within a touchdown against FIU. The Aggies are winless on the road, but those defeats came against Florida State, Hawaii and New Mexico, and this looks a great opportunity for them. NMSU dominated WKU last week and can follow up by giving Florida International all it can handle here.
I'm backing the underdog Missouri State Bears to get the better of WKU to start our Thursday CFB parlay. Western Kentucky have already suffered some devastating defeats, not only to Power 4 teams, but also 20+ point defeats to Nevada and New Mexico State. Missouri State looks to be catching Western Kentucky at the right time and should take advantage.
Next, I'm going with Sam Houston State to keep within two touchdowns against Liberty. The Flames have been red hot, but Sam Houston will be well rested after a bye last week and can make that count after Liberty's trip to Delaware. The Bearkats have been solid on defense and should stymie the Liberty attack enough to keep this score respectable.
To wrap up our college football parlay for Thursday, I'm taking UTSA to beat USF. Both teams are 4-1 but the Roadrunners have been potent on offense, while South Florida has only just been getting by its opponents, with its attack stalling. Ultimately, I expect USF to struggle to keep up with UTSA's scoring, and that will be the hosts' path to victory.
