Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 6:27 a.m. ET.
Leg 1: LSU -2 (-110) at Auburn
Our first bet features a fun SEC matchup between Tigers. Both teams have two losses on the season, but LSU has one of the best offenses in college football once again as it is averaging 42.0 points per game. Expect this to be a back-and-forth contest all day, but for LSU to win and cover this small spread.
Leg 2: Louisville (+135) vs. Virginia Tech
Our first upset pick of this parlay is taking Louisville at home. The Cardinals are 3.5-point underdogs despite both defenses not being very good. This will likely come down to the last possession or two, but given Louisville’s speed at receiver, look for the Cards to pull off the upset.

Leg 3: Baylor (+120) vs. TCU
Our second upset pick occurs in the Big 12 as the 1-2 Baylor Bears take on the 1-3 TCU Horned Frogs. Both teams aren’t playing great football right now, but Baylor’s defense has played much better than TCU. This is expected to be a low-scoring game, but look for the Bears to win at home by a touchdown or more in this contest.

Leg 4: Memphis (+200) at Cincinnati
The third and biggest upset in our parlay has Memphis beating No. 7 Cincinnati. The Bearcats are 4-0, but they have yet to face an offense like the Tigers. Memphis is averaging 38.8 points per game and are running the fourth-most plays (84) per game of any team in college football. Expect this to be a track meet with the Tigers offense scoring enough to pull off the upset.

Leg 5: Ohio State -10 (-115) over Penn State
The final game of our five-leg parlay includes a Big Ten showdown between Ohio State and Penn State. Coming off a brutal loss to Indiana last week, The Nittany Lions would love nothing more than to beat the Buckeyes in Happy Valley. However, they just don’t have the defense, specifically the linebackers, to slow down Buckeyes QB Justin Fields. Look for Ohio State to score into the 40s and for Ohio State to cover with ease in primetime.
