This is a two-team ML parlay where we need both sides to win straight up.
3% ML Parlay - Texas State (10:30 ET) and Arizona (11:00 ET): You'll notice that the spread for Texas State's game at San Diego State has been bet up. This is because San Diego State is dealing with a mumps outbreak (14 confirmed cases). Nearly three dozen players are listed on the injury report, including 17 that are doubtful or confirmed as out. The Aztecs are likely going to be without their two top running backs, one of which was already injured. The QB situation was already unsettled as senior Jayden Denegal was benched in last week's ugly 41-16 loss at Toledo. This is an 0-4 ATS San Diego State whose offense ranks 125th nationally in yards per play (despite playing fast). Consider that Texas State is playing at a similar pace, but ranks 15th nationally in yards per play. Their offense should feast against a SDSU defense that ranks 110th in passing yards allowed. There's no longer any real value in laying the points with Texas State here. But, the Bobcats should certainly win their Pac 12 debut, given all the trials & tribulations their opponent is going through.
For the second leg of this week's ML parlay, we've got an interesting situation where an Arizona team that is 0-4 ATS is laying a TD to a 4-0 SU Cincinnati team. Oddsmakers have basically done the work for you here in identifying this as a classic buy low/sell high spot. Cincinnati remains outside my Top 50 despite the unbeaten SU record. They are coming off a big upset win against Kansas State (at home), 31-26 as 6.5-point underdogs. I don't see B2B upsets for the Bearcats. Especially considering, two weeks ago, they were down 28-7 at the half to Miami (OH). Cincy's offensive line has been a real strength so far, but this is their first road trip of the season and it's all the way out West. The Arizona defense is allowing only 80 rush yards per game on 3.1 YPC. 3% ML Parlay - Texas State and Arizona (Play to -140)

We all still recall that week one bust by the Tigers at LSU. But since then?
How many points has Clemson's defense allowed? 37... in three games: 22-7 over Georgia Southern, 28-20 over North Carolina, and 24-10 at Cal. The last two big money came against them, and it didn't matter.
The Tigers are 3-1 and 2-0 in the ACC, and Gideon Davidson has run for 264 yards in back to back weeks. Now Miami comes to Death Valley for a night game laying 16.5. Yes, Darian Mensah has been perfect, 94-of-106 for 1,211 yards with 14 touchdowns and no interceptions. But look at who he did it against: Stanford, Florida A&M, Wake Forest and Central Michigan.
This is by far Miami's toughest road trip, and the last two times the Hurricanes came to Clemson they lost 42-17 and 40-10. More than two touchdowns at night in Death Valley... You know what to do!

Playing your first road game in a hostile environment like Blacksburg is certainly a challenge. But I believe Pittsburgh will be up for it on Friday night. The Panthers are higher than Va Tech in my power ratings, so taking a field goal (or more) seems like a natural move for me in this battle of ACC unbeatens.
I've noted before that this Pitt team is strong in the trenches, on both sides of the ball. In four games, the defense has allowed an average of just 53.3 rush yards, not to mention only 34 total points. While all 13 of his TD passes have come in two games, QB Mason Heintschel has thrown for 1200 yards.

Louisiana has won seven of the last eight meetings, including a 34-30 road win at Arkansas State last season. The RedWolves' lone win over the Cajuns in recent years came in 2023 as a 7.5-point home 'dog. Arkansas State scored off a 27-yard fumble return for a touchdown and a 93-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in last year's contest, yet the RedWolves still couldn't close the deal at home. If not then...when?! Louisiana has covered the number in every game thus far, including last week's 34-7 road win at Charlotte. The Cajuns' defense held the 49ers to 137 total yards and six first downs on 3.0 yards per play. Arkansas State earned a nice home win over Kennesaw State last week, but the RedWolves have gotten smacked by Memphis and TCU when trying to make a jump in class. Closely-lined games like this simply have not gone the RedWolves' way in recent years. They closed as a 4.5-point road favorite at Kennesaw State last year and lost by a touchdown. They closed as a 1.5-point road 'dog at UL-Monroe and lost by 12. They closed as a 2.5-point home favorite against Louisiana last year and lost by four. They closed as a 6,5-point home favorite over Kennesaw last week and won by a field goal. This hasn't been a good spot for Arkansas State in the past, and the Ragin Cajuns have proven to be a trustworthy commodity with Lunch Winfield at the helm. Play Louisiana

This is a free play on BYU.
The Cougars beat the Horned Frogs 44-13 at home last year, and BYU ranks among the top teams in the country in returning production. The Cougars are better this year, and there is no doubt that the Horned Frogs are worse. TCU is 0-2 versus Power 4 opponents, and QB Jaden Craig has thrown a pair of INTs and no TDs in those games. It sure looks like Craig is a bust at QB for TCU.

Word from the Pentagon is that Navy might have some problems hanging onto the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy for a third straight season if it can’t get QB Braxton Woodson (out recently with an ankle sprain) back to active duty. Though Woodson entered 2026 with limited work in the past, he was Brian Newberry’s preferred choice to run Drew Cronic’s unique option-with-Wing T elements because of his explosive running ability, which were on display in early games vs. Towson and Florida Atlantic when Woodson would rank among the nation’s rush leaders with 296 yards and four TDs after just two weeks. Granted, backup Jackson Gutierrez has also displayed some pop, but last week’s loss at UAB was more than a bit sobering especially as the Midshipmen were uncharacteristically sloppy when losing two fumbles in Birmingham. Meanwhile, Troy Calhoun’s corresponding option at Air Force seems to be running at peak efficiency (interestingly also on 1,001 rushing yards, as is Navy, after three games) with a more-experienced pilot in Liam Szarka, who punished Nevada with 171 rushing yards in last week’s exciting OT win in Reno. Service academy rivalries usually prompt us to consider looking “under” (48-14-1 the past 21 years!) as the dueling options often keep the chains and clock moving, and on the average about 15-20 fewer plays from scrimmage than most other FBS, non-dueling option battles. Though the Navy-Air Force rivalry has been a little more lively than the other recent matchups involving Army, as the case last year’ in the Mids’ 34-31 win at Annapolis. Note that Szarka dazzled in that clash in one of his earliest starts, accounting for 364 yards and all four Falcon TDs (two rushing, two passing). If there’s an advantage either way at the remodelled Falcon Stadium, it’s probably him, even if Woodson returns to active duty this week for the Mids, though as usual our first reaction is to look "under" in Commander-in-Chief battles. Play the Under

I won with Arkansas last week. However, a home game against Tulsa is an entirely different ball game from a road game at Texas A&M. Off back-to-back losses, the Aggies are going to be in a foul mood. While the last couple were close, the Aggies have won nine of the past 10 meetings. I feel they're stronger on both sides of the ball and I expect them to pull away and win by more than two touchdowns. *good to -16

What Free NCAAF Picks and College Football Best Bets Does WagerTalk Offer Daily?
Wagertalk expert handicappers have hundreds of years of combined experience betting on college football games. And what they offer first and foremost is pure transparency. You will know exactly how well your picked expert has done historically and this season, letting you know that you are choosing a pick from a reputable, and above all, WINNING handicapper!
Wagertalk's team of experts finds the most promising NCAAF games to bet on and the best NCAA football odds and shares college football picks to you, at no charge whatsoever.
Our team of handicappers researches and analyzes all the history and the trends - picks are from successful sports bettors only, and you always have the option for guaranteed college football picks at low prices.
Free NCAAF Expert Picks
To be a successful college football bettor, you need to look beyond the games with the most attention and betting volume influenced odd changes. Our expert NCAAF picks cover all the markets you want to bet on, from ATS to moneyline to over/under to player props and parlays.
Free College Football Picks Against The Spread
NCAA football point spreads serve as a way of making the odds more even, allowing users to bet and win on results even when their team loses, as long as they cover the points against the spread. Wagering ATS is extremely popular in college football betting. Wagertalk handicappers thoroughly vet previous matchups, stats from both teams, and current on-field matchups at all positions to find points of advantage and weakness. This allows us to offer CFB picks that can give you, the bettor, an edge before making your college football ATS bets.
NCAAF Picks - Over/Under College Football Best Bets
Betting on NCAAF Over/Under odds just means you bet based on whether or not you think the two combined will exceed or go under the number of points set by the sportsbooks for that particular over/under line. While just betting on the over and rooting for points all game long is a good time, Wagertalk offers more disciplined over/under betting as there are plenty of unders out there.
College Football Moneyline Picks
Well, this is easy. An NCAAF moneyline bet means you just put your money on the team you think is going to win. If they win, you win, payout varies according to the odds. The easiest type of bet out there, WagerTalk offers college football moneyline picks, including some tasty underdog potential wins!
NCAAF Prop Picks
NCAA football prop picks can offer amazing value and a potential to win with bets you would not have considered otherwise. As props rely on the performance of one player, our handicappers dig deep into each game to find a player vs player matchup that can give you a win on a player prop. Maybe there is a safety or defensive end that is suspect - a team could very well send their wide-out at that player each team and rack up amazing receiving yards. Wagertalk pores through these matchups and finds these lopsided player prop possibilities and shares them with you.
College Football Hot Betting Picks for Today
Wagertalk's expert NCAAF handicappers go beyond the obvious and find hot betting picks in less than marquee matchup. Looking for a pick on Appalachian State vs. James Madison? We've got it. Our experts thoroughly research off the beaten path teams for great betting opportunities, your hot pick of the day might just be something you never considered betting on!
