We are here to the College Football Playoffs Semifinals, which means we only have four teams and two games left! Any of these teams could win it all, and all they need to do is win two more games.

Here are my plays for the College Football Playoffs Semifinals.

Check out the latest episodes of the JCPod for my full breakdowns and analysis. All odds are a mix/the best number from FanDuel, DraftKings, and BetMGM.

Straights

Miami vs Ole Miss

Coming into this game, I really like the Miami defensive line and their run game. To go along with that, Miami likes to play with a methodical pace when they are ahead, so that makes me want to lean towards the under. The big key for this game will be containing Trinidad Chambliss and this fast paced Rebels offense. Georgia was not able to do that, and that’s what led to the major comeback for Ole Miss. If the Hurricanes are able to contain Chambliss, then I like for them to be able to establish the run and control the pace of this game completely.

I’m not a big fan of the hook on the three, but I do like for Miami to win. I’m going to try and find a way to take either -2.5 at a good number, or I will try getting a good number on the money line live. When it comes to the total, I do not think I can take either the over or under. We have got killed with them all year in College, but I would take the under if I had to pick.

Indiana vs Oregon

This is a rematch of the great regular season game, and this game could be even better. Truly either team could win it, and both quarterbacks have been playing so great lately and this season. I’m excited to see how these defenses try to counter what the opponents offense will try and do. Oregons offense has struggled against good defenses this year, so that could cause them some issues. That makes me lean towards the under in this game, but I am a bit nervous about taking it.

I am going to take Indiana -3.5 points though, as I just believe they are going to be the team to win at all this year. Oregon is coming off a very tough game against Texas Tech, while Indiana was able to put it in cruise control pretty early on against Alabama. With this most likely being in a very physical game, I look for Indiana to be the team to be able to last longer and pull out the win, moving onto the National Championship.

OFFICIAL BET: Indiana -3.5 points (-108)

Parnell’s Nasty Boy Parlay Play of the Day

We have two shots left to not get shutout. Due to limitations (and not wanting to take player props), the odds on this one will be a tad lower than normal

I was able to get odds of +662:

  • Miami -2.5 (-127)
  • Miami – Ole Miss under 52.5 points (-115)
  • Indiana moneyline (-180)
  • Indiana fourth quarter -0.5points (-105)

Let’s have a DAY! PLEASE GAMBLE RESPONSIBLY!
