We’ve had a mixed bag of results already and are down a couple of units. The start of this season has been up and down, and we’ll eventually find our groove. With so many games a day, we’ve missed out on just one leg each day. However, that’s exactly why my wife doesn’t like it when I bet parlays. That last leg always seems to bite you in the ass. Let’s take a look at today’s college basketball parlay picks of the day that pay a nice +177.

College Basketball Parlay Pick Of The Day (November 10th)
We’re keeping it simple today after a few up-and-down results to start the season. No need to get cute with three or four legs when two clean spots jump out to me. Iowa on the moneyline and Dayton -12.5 gets us to a solid +177 and gets us back on track.
Virginia Tech @ Iowa (ML) – 7 PM ET (FS1)
Iowa is 2-0 after handling Lipscomb and Eastern Illinois. Ben McCollum has this group playing with the same defensive edge that fueled last year’s surprise Elite Eight run. The Hawkeyes are forcing turnovers and locking down the perimeter early, and Virginia Tech is still finding its footing after two wins over lower-level competition. This is a neutral-site game in Sioux City, but it’s still Iowa’s backyard. Models and the market both see the Hawkeyes as clear favorites, and I’m just taking them to get the win rather than cover the points.
Siena @ Dayton (-12.5) – 7 PM ET (ESPN+)
Dayton is looking to bounce back after an overtime loss at home to Northern Illinois. The Flyers opened with a comfortable win over NJIT and still have the talent and home-court advantage at UD Arena to handle a Siena team that is also 1-1. Freshman Aiden Derkack has already put up double-doubles in both games. Dayton’s size and depth should wear on the Saints. 12.5 is one of the shorter numbers you’ll see on Dayton at home against this type of opponent, and I like them to cover comfortably.
The Parlay
Iowa ML and Dayton -12.5 all together brings us to a nice +177 parlay.
