It’s crazy how fast the season is flying and we are already on to the College Football Week 8 portion of the season. This is another week filled with banger games, and it looks to be a fun one.

Here are my plays for the College Football Week 8 slate.

Straights

Friday

I ABSOLUTELY hate this but Purdue +28.5 (-110)

This is just a “wouldn’t it be funny” bet. The Spoilermakers are in a prime spot to do the unimaginable, but like said I hate this bet.

I am simply taking it on the chance Oregon is a little hungover from last weekend.

Saturday

Army -15.5 (-110) and Team Total over 34.5 (-118)

Army has been a wagon this year for us, and have covered in every single game. This might be the toughest team they have played yet in ECU, but I still look for to Army to win by about 17-20. It will be close early, but I look forward to Army to pull away as the game goes on.

Northwestern +7.5 (-105)

I’m looking for NW to defend home field here. Wisconsin has had a blowout of Purdue and Rutgers in the last two games. I like this game to be a lot closer than the Badgers last two, and see the Wildcats staying within a touchdown.

Both of these offenses have seem to found some answers as well, so I am curious of that continues..

Illinois +3.5 (-110)

Illinois is at home taking on Michigan. While Michigan does have a good defense, I trust Illinois‘s offense way more than Michigan’s at this point. I’ll look for Illinois’s offense be able to do just enough to cover the three points maybe even win this outright.

The Michigan quarterback situation has been a mess this year as well, which doesn’t help the offense.

Iowa -5.5 (-110) and Game Total Over 39.5 (-105)

Iowa has been on fire on offense this season, while the defense has been on fire per usual. I look for the defense to get a few turnovers in this game with how good they are. I also Look for Iowa’s offense to be able to put up 30ish points, giving us a chance at the over as well.

Iowa could score 40 on their with how good the offense has been this year. Johnson has been awesome on the ground this year, only second to Heisman favorite Ashton Jeanty. I look for the ground game to open up the pass game, and for Iowa to roll In this game while hitting the over.

Indiana -6.5 (-110)

Indiana has covered for me every game so far, so we ride again. This will be their toughest battle yet, and I am nervous for how Indiana will play this game. This will be a fun B10 battle, and the implications of this game are major for both the winner and loser. I am scared of how Indiana will match up athletically in some positions, but I do believe they can win and cover.

Missouri -3.5 (-112)

This is a huge game and must needed win for Missouri. To stay alive for the CFP, they have to win this game. I look for this team to be able to carry over the momentum from last game. Missouri also got embarrassed by Texas A&M in the last SEC game. I have a feeling they will want a bounce back performance.

Navy -16.5 (-118)

I am nervous to take this number, but I feel as if Navy can do something similar to what Army did. Army beat this Charlotte team by a good number and was able to pull away as a game went on. I look for navy to do more the same and for Navy to win this game by about 20.

Colorado +3.5 (-110)

I look for Colorado to be able to win this outright. With so many weapons, I feel as if Colorado will be able to have too many answers for Arizona’s defense. Arizona is also down a lot of defensive guys, so it will be interesting to see who comes back and be able to suit up for them in this game.

South Carolina moneyline (-105)

I look for this defensive line to eat against the Oklahoma offense. I am scared of what the offense will do for the Gamecocks, but I do trust that the defense will travel and be able to hold down Oklahoma’s struggling offense.

Kentucky moneyline (-125)

Florida has been hit and miss so far this season. I look for Kentucky to be able to come in with a good defense and hold Florida to a low scoring total. I have a lot more faith in Kentucky to win this game. This faith is for Kentucky WAY more than I do Florida, who might be in the verge of firing their coach at some point this season.

New Mexico – Utah State Under 77.5 (-110)

This is College Football Week 8! College basketball doesn’t start for another 17 days!

This is just so many points. I’m okay with being wrong here if this does end up going over, but I feel as if the under should be a safe play.

Props

I like a few touchdown scorers this weekend, but some of these odds are a little long however:

Travis Hunter (-165)

LaJohntay Wester (+120)

Will Sheppard (+160)

Jalen Milroe (-260)

Jalen Milroe 2x (+195)

Luther Burden (-130)

Kaleb Johnson (-250)

Parnell’s Nasty Boy Parlay Play of the Day

We still have a goose egg on the board, and that is just not right. For this Nasty Boy, I am just going to go chalk and pick some teams I like to win and or cover.

I was able to get odds of +1152:

  • Colorado moneyline (+114)
  • Missouri moneyline (-170)
  • Illinois +3.5 (-105)
  • Iowa -5.5 (-115)

Let’s have a DAY! PLEASE GAMBLE RESPONSIBLY
