We were so close last week but missed the first bet on our college football parlay list. The Air Force-Navy game actually was an uncharacteristic shootout as both teams scored 30-plus points. That killed our Week 6 parlay.

The other three legs were winners as we played two team totals – Purdue and Memphis – and correctly called Miami’s win over Florida State. That, of course, is the risk involved with parlays. It’s also why we can get a higher payout when we do cash.

We’re back at it this week with a new round of picks, ones that we feel are best suited to getting us back on track with another parlay victory. The experts at Scores and Stats will continue to put together the best CFB parlays each and every week from now until the College Football Championship in January. We’ll get back to the formula that worked in Weeks 3 and 4 and aim for another winner in Week 7.

Here’s what our college football experts found to make up the best college football parlays for Week 7.

College Football Parlay Picks

The following is our best parlay NCAAF picks for Week 7:

NCAAF Parlay Pick 1: Missouri +3.5

This could be the upset of the week. Alabama travels to Missouri fresh off a revenge win over Vanderbilt last week. The Crimson Tide have been playing well since their season-opening loss to Florida State. The offense, especially the passing game, is explosive. Alabama is No. 5 in pass offense averaging 325 yards per game.

The Alabama defense is also outstanding. The Tide is fifth against the pass and they allow just 16 points per game (21st in the nation). The thing is, Missouri is just as good, if not better.

The Tigers average 45.2 points per game on offense and give up just 14.6. They have the nation’s best run defense and they are 10th against the pass. While many experts say that Missouri hasn’t really been tested, this is a team built to win in the SEC.

Head coach Eli Drinkwitz has done an amazing job at Missouri, going 26-5 overall since the beginning of the 2023 season. The Tigers have the No. 3-ranked run offense and lead the nation in time of possession. They have won their last 15 straight home games and had last week off to prepare for this one.

NCAAF Parlay Pick 2: Oklahoma +3.5

This is another upset waiting to happen. Now, the line opened at -3 to -3.5, but the number has moved in Oklahoma’s favor and is now at Texas -1.5. Some of that has to do with Sooners QB John Mateer.

Mateer is one of the best in the country and he underwent hand surgery a couple weeks ago. He missed last week’s 44-0 win over Kent State and it was being speculated that he may be ready to play on Saturday.

Even if he doesn’t Michael Hawkins Jr. is capable of leading Oklahoma to a win. The Sooners defense will be the key. Head coach Brent Venables took over calling the defense this season and it has shown. The Sooners are No. 2 in the nation in scoring defense, allowing just 7.2 points per game.

Oklahoma will give Texas QB Arch Manning fits. Manning has under-whelmed this season after being touted as a Heisman Trophy candidate. Texas won this game last year as a 17-point favorite. Now, the Longhorns are just 1.5-point favorites. Don’t forget, Oklahoma has won 7 of the past 10 in this series.

NCAAF Parlay Pick 3: Tennessee 1H -6.5

If you didn’t know, the Volunteers lead the nation in scoring. They are fourth in passing offense (337.2 ypg) and average 51 points per game. That matches up nicely with an Arkansas defense that can’t stop anyone.

The Razorbacks defense is the reason head coach Sam Pittman was fired. Arkansas gives up 30 points per game. The Hogs were off last week and will now operate with former head coach Bobby Petrino as the interim head coach. One of Petrino’s first moves was to fire several members of the defensive staff.

That shouldn’t change anything. Arkansas will still have the same scheme and the same players. Tennessee will still run the same offense, one that has put up at least 41 points in every game this season.

In Josh Heupel’s career, his teams are notorious for jumping out to quick leads as opposing defenses have a hard time catching up. That has led to Heupel’s teams going 42-17-1 ATS in the first half of games. The Vols, playing at home, should lead by at least a touchdown at halftime against an Arkansas team that gives up an average of 26 points in the first half.

NCAAF Parlay Pick 4: Michigan State ML

Two things will play a huge role in a Michigan State win over UCLA on Saturday. First, it’s the travel. Teams from the West coast that travel to the Eastern Time Zone have a difficult time. Those teams get an outright win only about 40 percent of the time.

Add in the huge letdown spot for the Bruins and Michigan State wins this game. It’s why the Spartans are 8.5-point favorites. UCLA upset Penn State at home last week. That, of course, was the opposite – an East coast team traveling West – but the effects of the travel are real.

In a letdown spot on the road, the Bruins will struggle. Michigan State is looking to bounce back after a loss to Nebraska last week.rey Hetherman has made a huge difference in the ‘Canes defense and that defense will slow down the Seminoles on Saturday night.

NCAAF Parlay Total Payout

You can find NCAAF odds for each leg of our parlay at any of the top sports betting sites. Use one of those sites or a parlay bet calculator to get the odds of your parlay bet. If you choose to include all four legs of this parlay, you will get odds of +601.

That means if you wager $100 on our four-leg parlay, the payout is $601. All four legs must cash in order for the parlay to pay out. Our experts picked the legs of this parlay because of their likelihood to cash.

Like last week, we only need one team to win its game. That would be Michigan State, since we picked the Spartans on the moneyline. At -330, this is a game that normally one would not bet on its own. Laying out $330 to win $100 is not the best in terms of ROI.

We’re looking at upsets in two of the other three legs with Oklahoma and Missouri both +3.5. The Oklahoma spread is now down to +1.5, but we’ll play the opening number which is priced at -162. Again, since it’s in a parlay, we can take that price.

The final leg is a first half spread. As mentioned, Josh Heupel-coached teams are very good in the first half. They cover the first half spread nearly 72 percent of the time. Should all four legs of our parlay cash, we’ll receive a nice payout of $600.80.
