Week Two CFB Parlay: Don't Overreact
It's overreaction week! Everyone run to the window and bet what they saw! *Facepalm* I feel like there’s a lot to say after last week, but I’ll just say kicking is for losers and get over it.
On to week two this weeks parlay and we have a new promo at the Barstool Sportsbook. If you bet $10 on my parlay and it doesn't hit. You get $5 back for each leg that does. Last week that should've been $10. I'm over it. I swear.
Pitt +6.5
Normally I like to bet against ranked teams catching points… but something is off here. Line opened -3, Tennessee blows out a cupcake and Pitt squeaks out a W in a close rivalry game and now the line balloons to 6.5? I think not. I’ll take the overreaction plus the points with the Panthers at home who have won their last 21 of 30 as a dog.
Kentucky +6
Who looked better than the Florida Gators last week beating the number 7 team in the country? They went from unranked to the #12 team and Anthony Richardson's Heisman odds plummeted over the last few days. I originally had Florida circled for this game in a revenge spot but now I have no choice but to back the Wildcats plus the points as they have the ability to exploit the Gators secondary.
Stanford +8
I KNOW, this one is wild. As I mentioned in my opening statement, this is the week to not overreact. USC played the12th ranked team in the state of Texas behind one or two JUCO's. Laying two scores on the road is asking a lot from a Trojan's team trying to learn a brand new system. If this comes down to special teams, the Cardinal could surprise everyone in Palo Alto.
This week's parlay pays 30/1 at the Barstool Sportsbook.
