It’s one of the biggest and best weeks of the college football season – one with more games on more days than any other. Thanksgiving is in the rearview mirror, but there remains a ton of gridiron action on Friday and Saturday. Rivalry week concludes with showdowns like Ohio State vs Michigan, Florida State vs Florida, Wisconsin vs Minnesota, and Oklahoma vs Oklahoma State.

Yes, it’s another busy Saturday in college football and we have plenty of options with which to form a lucrative mega parlay.

Rutgers ML (+110)

Boston College ML (+175)

Florida State ML (+120)

Parlay odds: +1171

For this parlay we are going with three underdogs on the money line. Let’s break down each of the three legs one by one.

Rutgers ML over Maryland (+110)

The Terrapins have had a tail of two seasons, as they started the year 4-0 before losing six of their next seven — all of which were in Big 10 play. To be fair, Maryland suffered four of those losses to teams that were ranked in the Top 10 in the country at the time. The Terps’ offense has been the focal point, averaging 424.9 yards per game and 26.1 ppg in 2021. Their defense has not been as strong, allowing 423.6 yards per game and giving up 33.9 ppg, the latter of which is last in the Big 10. Teams have had their way with the Maryland defense; the Terrapins have not held an opponent under 31 points since their week four win against Kent State. Rutgers’ home woes can be attributed to stiff competition; Maryland is not that.

Boston College ML over Wake Forest (+175)

The Demon Deacons are playing their second road game in as many weeks, as they suffered a 48-27 loss at Clemson last weekend. Wake Forest’s defense has been the biggest weakness; it has allowed 42 points or more in four of its last five games. We will see if the Deacons can respond after giving up 48 points to a Clemson offense that had only scored more than 30 points against South Carolina State and UConn. Boston College has its second home game in as many weeks after suffering a 26-23 loss to Florida State last Saturday. The Eagles trailed 26-3 in the third quarter and almost came all the way back but couldn’t pull off the comeback, as the Seminoles’ defense held firm on the final drive. Boston College has averaged 365.6 yards and 26.5 points per game in 2021, while its defense has held opponents to 338 yards and 20.5 points per game. The Eagles’ offense has looked much better with QB Phil Jurkovec even though it struggled in the first half against FSU.

Florida State ML over Florida (+120)

Florida State has found some life after starting the season 0-4, winning 5 of its last 7 games. The Seminoles need a win in this one to get bowl eligible, so they will come out swinging. Florida has been a disaster dating back to its setback against LSU. When playing quarterback Jordan Travis, FSU has simply won football games. It is 5-2 when he is starting and 0-4 when McKenzie Milton starts. Travis is expected to start this game. The Gators have lost all 4 straight conference games and their only win in their last 5 games is against Samford — in which they let the Bulldogs score 52 points. They have fired head coach Dan Mullen and will have an interim coach (Greg Knox) for this one.
