Rivalry week is here! The College Football regular season wraps up this week as a lot of teams match up with their arch rivals to do battle. There may be no better week for college football upsets than this one. We’ve seen time and time again,you throw out the records when bitter rivals face off. Even teams that have had bad seasons get up big for these games and pull off the seemingly impossible. Let’s jump in and look at this College Football Week 14 upset parlay.
Rivalry games kick off Friday and include games like the Egg Bowl with Ole Miss at Mississippi State. Georgia and Georgia Tech clash as ranked teams. Indiana and Purdue face off in the Hoosier state. Texas and Texas A&M do battle in the Lone Star State, Iowa and Nebraska battle in a border war. Arizona and Arizona State, Virginia and Virginia State play. And of course the big ones like Auburn-Alabama, and Michigan-Ohio State.
Now is a good time to remind you to bet these teams individually on the moneyline, and I like to bet them with the points as well. If you did this last week, it was hugely successful. If they are good enough to pull the upset, it makes a great case for taking them with the points as well.
College Football Week 14 Best Bets: Upset Parlay
Mississippi State (+240)
Let’s kick things off Friday morning in the Egg Bowl. Ole Miss comes into Starkville as the favorites. They are 10-1 on the season and ranked #7 in the country. Mississippi State is just 5-6 and needs a win this weekend to go bowling. Ole Miss has plenty of distractions around the program. Will Lane Kiffin decide to stay with the team? Is he going to SEC rivals LSU or Florida? Is there an announcement coming soon? Who knows. We’ve seen it go both ways where teams can hold it together through things like this, or be very distracted.
Mississippi State needs to put together the perfect gameplan and figure out how to stop the run. But as they always say, you thrown the records out in these rivalry games. Mississippi State has everything to play for, while Mississippi has distractions all around and feel safe heading towards the College Football Playoff. The Bulldogs dig deep and knock off the Rebels Friday.
Texas (+120)
The Texas Longhorns will host the unbeaten Texas A&M Aggies on Black Friday in Austin at Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium. The Longhorns have been better at home than on the road, so that’s the first plus in their column. There’s also still a possibility of a College Football Playoff appearance, but Texas absolutely has to win this game for any shot at it. Arch Manning has really grown in his role as the Longhorns quarterback, looking better as the season has gone on.
A&M is unbeaten, and you can only play the games in front of you, but outside of their win over Notre Dame by 1-point, they don’t have an impressive resume. Texas has owned this rivalry over the years, leading the series 77-37-5. Texas has won the last two matchups, four of the last five, and 11 of the last 14. Big brother pulls the upset on Friday evening.
Pittsburgh (+200)
The Pittsburgh Panthers will host the Hurricanes of Miami on Saturday at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh. The Panthers’ defense has been suffocating as the season has gone on. That’ll be the biggest key for the Panthers is to slow down Carson Beck and company in this game. Mason Heintschel will be the next biggest factor in the Panthers taking this game. The quarterback has also greatly improved as the season has progressed. He struggled against Notre Dame, but bounced back with a solid game against Georgia Tech. A win in this game keeps the Panthers’ ACC Championship game hopes alive.
Parlay Mississippi State + Texas + Pittsburgh (+2144)
