With the Saturday College Football Week 8 slate on the way, we are coming off one of the craziest weekends in College Football history. With some teams coming off massive wins, will they all be able to avoid stumbling this week? Or are we in for another wild weekend of ball?
Here are my plays for College Football in Week Eight.
Check out the latest episodes of the JCPod for my full breakdowns and analysis. All odds are a mix/the best number from Fanatics, BetMGM, FanDuel, and DraftKings.
Straights
Saturday
West Virginia +13.5 (-130) & WVU-TCU total over 56.5 (-125)
West Virginia has an offense that is able to put up 24+ points damn near rolling out of bed. Their only issue this year has been their defense is truly struggling to get stops at a consistent rate. While this TCU offenses has had its ups and downs this season, playing against the West Virginia defense might just be the thing that they need. I will be not trusting in TCU, however, and I will trust in the West Virginia offense to be able to score enough to stay within ten points.
When it comes to the over in West Virginia games, it has hit in every single game this season so far. We will continue to ride that until we need to get off the wagon.
Indiana Hoosiers -7 (-115)
Coming off a very narrow yet heartbreaking loss against Ohio State, I look for this Hoosiers team to get a big win against Michigan. Michigan is currently dealing with quarterback issues, so it will be interesting to see who they start for this game. While the Michigan defense is really good, I think that this Indiana Hoosiers offense just might be a little bit better. I see Indiana winning this game by around 10+ points, so I’ll be taking their spread.
Georgia State moneyline (-125)
I feel as if this line is a little bit too low while also being an overreaction to the game last week. James Madison is truly one of the best G6 teams, so it was not too shocking to see Georgia State lose by as big of a score as they did. I feel as if the game was closer last week, this would be closer to a seven point spread game. Georgia States only two losses have come by teams that are better than them. I do not believe that Arkansas State is a better team, so I like for Georgia State to win this game.
UTSA -2.5 (-120)
UTSA is coming off a close yet exciting win against Navy. My one fear is UTSA has been having so many close games lately, but these Roadrunners just keep finding ways to win.
North Dakota State +4.5 (-110)
This is arguably one of the best G6 games of the day. New Mexico has been a really good team this season, and North Dakota State has been having success in their first season in the FBS. I look for this to be a close and exciting game, so I’m going to be taking the Bison to keep this within a field goal. 
Parnell’s Nasty Boy Parlay Play of the Day
Coming into this College Football Week 8 Nasty Boy, we are going one team total, two spreads, and an under.
I was able to get odds of +833:
- Indiana -7 (-115)
- Iowa state +14 (-170)
- Oregon – Illinois Under 51 (-120)
- Mississippi State team total under 20.5 (-140)
Let’s have a DAY! PLEASE GAMBLE RESPONSIBLY!
