You can bet these Week 10 College Football upsets against the spread, as single moneyline plays, or as a parlay, and you could be the Tailgate Hero.

Week 10 College Football Upsets: Moneyline Parlay
+1924 The College Football Experience Parlay
We here at the Sports Gambling Podcast Network love large odds. Some people say parlay betting is dumb, but when you treat a moneyline underdog parlay like a lottery ticket, it’s not. Let me explain. Many folks are avid lotto players. For example, Mega Millions and Powerball. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot is 1 in 292.2 million, and even lower for Mega Millions at 1 in 302.6 million.
The notorious slogan is, “risk a little to win a lot.” What if I told you that you could place your $2 lotto entry fee on a measured college football moneyline underdog parlay where you can select your winning numbers based on analysis instead of a machine randomly doing it for you? This week’s college football upset picks would pay out $40.49 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
You can download the DraftKings app and use our code “SGP” on your first deposit. When you do that and bet $5 on any college football pick, you get $200 in bonus bets instantly!
There are 15 slates of college football. If you were to place just one $2 college football parlay each week, that’s a $30 dollar bet total. With just one correct +1924 The College Football Experience Parlay, that’s $10.49 of profit, $50.98 if two hit, $91.47 for three, etc.
Are you feeling more frisky? Those profit amounts increase incrementally with just a few extra dollars on each moneyline underdog parlay. Lastly, in case you weren’t already sold, I can promise you that watching Oklahoma State, Kansas State, and Marshall play college football is more entertaining than 40 seconds of ping-pong balls.
Week 9 Recap
Week 9 started off with a bang as Kansas defeated Oklahoma. Shortly after, Eastern Michigan was dominated by Western Michigan for the first time since 2015. That was Chris Creighton’s second season in Ypsilanti. Lastly, Tennessee never really was in question to lose to Kentucky, but the Wildcats came up just short. Colby has hit some big dogs this season and has kept this article series afloat. My personal underdogs have gone dry, and I’m due for a 2-0 week on my upsets.

Dundee’s Dog: Oklahoma State Moneyline +195
(-5.5) Oklahoma at Oklahoma State (O/U 60.5)
Each week, I will write up Pick Dundee, aka Colby Dant’s favorite college football upset prediction. Dant is the host of the Sports Gambling Podcast Network’s CFB podcast, “The College Football Experience.” Dundee also loves a good college football parlay and is well known for his success betting moneyline dogs. His favorite Week 10 plus-money-play is Oklahoma State to knock their in-state rival Oklahoma.
Oklahoma continues to not impress Dant. The latest hole that we are poking into Head Coach Brent Venables’ team is their shaky defense. They have allowed a 100-yard rusher three games in a row against Texas, UCF, and Kansas. First, Texas ran for 156 yards, and Jonathan Brooks had 129. Then, UCF dashed for 149 yards, and RJ Harvey put up 101. Lastly, Kansas recorded 225 rush yards. Devin Neal had 112 of them with a TD, QB Jason Bean had 62 and a TD, and RB Daniel Hishaw Jr scored 2 touchdowns with 51 yards.
Oklahoma State RB Ollie Gordon II has emerged as an absolute stud. Gordon ran for over 270 yards in two straight weeks! The Sophomore also ran for 100 yards in five straight games.
This will be the last edition of the Bedlam Series for the foreseeable future. Oklahoma State Head Coach Mike Gundy has expressed his displeasure about Oklahoma ditching the rivalry and the Big 12 for the SEC. It is now assumed that the Sooners will have an even bigger recruiting edge over the Cowboys and will be bringing in more revenue via the SEC’s larger TV contract. The Sooners enter Stillwater on the second leg of a back-to-back road game set. Boone Pickens Stadium will be a warzone for possibly their final home game against OU.
Dog #2: Kansas State Moneyline +160
Kansas State at (-4.5) Texas (O/U 50.5)
Texas QB Quinn Ewers is questionable for this weekend’s game. Ewers missed the BYU game with a sprained AC joint injury to his throwing shoulder. QB Maalik Murphy filled in for Ewers against the Cougars and didn’t look sharp. Murphy completed just 16 of his 25 passes for 170 yards, plus an interception. The 35-6 score didn’t bring Murphy’s struggles into question.
Kansas State’s defense has allowed 124.1 rushing yards per game this season. Knowing that Murphy doesn’t pose the same threat as Ewers (or Ewers’ throwing shoulder is still not 100%), the Wildcats will be able to emphasize stopping them by stacking the box. RB Jonathan Brooks and the Longhorns haven’t faced a Top 35 rush defense since Alabama. Brooks’ least efficient game was against the Crimson Tide, only averaging 4.1 rush yards per carry for 57 on 14 carries.
Texas needs a good outing from Brooks to defeat the defending Big 12 Champions. I’m not sure that Head Coach Chris Kleiman’s K-State will allow that to happen. The game plan for the Wildcats is to make the Longhorn QB beat you. Then, don’t fix what’s not broken. In Kansas State’s last three games, they’ve scored 117 points in their last three games. If K-State can limit their mistakes, they have a legitimate chance at winning this game.
Dog #3: Marshall Moneyline +164
Marshall at (-4.5) Appalachian State (O/U 55.5)
Appalachian State has lost its mojo. Mountaineers’ Head Coach Shawn Clark is starting to see his name appear in hot seat talks. App State has crumbled in close games. The Mountaineers are 1-4 in one-score games, and the finger of reasoning is being pointed at the coaching staff. Clark is 1-2 in his career against Marshall, and his victory was 31-30 in Boone.
The Mountaineers have four wins this season. They have defeated FCS Gardner Webb, East Carolina, UL Monroe, and Southern Miss. The combined record of the three FBS teams is 4-20.
On paper, Marshall is not an enticing bet. It’s a night game at Kidd Brewer Stadium, a really good home environment. The Thundering Herd is also on a four-game losing streak. The combined record of their four opponents during that stretch is 24-8. Marshall enters this game in an ultimate buy-low spot. I’m just going to trust that Head Coach Charles Huff will have the boys ready to shake off a winless October with a dub in November.
