Don’t let anyone tell you differently: Picking favorites isn’t as easy as it seems. We like to make college football predictions every week and put some favorites into a parlay, but even the most obvious of favorites can have a very bad day and ruin things for you.
Take Virginia last week, playing North Carolina at home as the favorite. Final score: North Carolina 41, Virginia 14.
Still, we’re undeterred, because when a parlay hits, it makes it all worth it. So, we’ve looked at the college football Week 10 schedule and come up with three picks on favorites that we think you should put in a parlay of winning college football bets.
3 Legs to Bet for Week 10 NCAAF Parlay
1. Arizona State Gets Bounce-Back Win vs Oklahoma State
The Oklahoma State Cowboys have been struggling all season long, coming into Saturday’s game with the Arizona State Sun Devils on a five-game losing skid. Things aren’t going to get better this weekend as Arizona State will come away from this one with a win.
The Sun Devils are coming off a bye week that followed their road loss to Cincinnati on Oct. 19. Fortunately for Arizona State, that extra time has allowed starting quarterback Sam Leavitt to get healthy. Per college football news, he’ll make his return to action against the Cowboys after missing the game against the Bearcats.
Leavitt, a redshirt freshman transfer from Michigan State, has been very good for Arizona State this season, passing for 1,166 yards and eight touchdowns while also rushing for 279 yards and four scores. But one of those rushes against Utah resulted in a hit to his ribs, which kept him out against Cincinnati.
Leavitt’s presence as a passer will help open things up for running back Cam Skattebo, who has 848 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground this season. Oklahoma State has struggled defensively during its skid, with its last four opponents all scoring 38 or more points.
We just don’t see the Cowboys being able to stop the Sun Devils in this one, so we’re making Arizona State one of our college football picks for our favorites parlay.

2. Ohio State Wins Battle Of Big Ten Powers
The No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes are in a strange position heading into this weekend: fourth in the Big Ten standings. It’s not that the Buckeyes haven’t been winning, entering their game with the Penn State Nittany Lions with a 6-1 mark, including 3-1 in Big Ten games.
But the expanded league membership and some surprising starts for some schools have three undefeated teams in the Big Ten as we head to November, and Ohio State’s not one of them.
Penn State is, coming into this showdown with a 7-0 mark. But the No. 3 Nittany Lions haven’t exactly been playing a murderer’s row of competition, with Ohio State just the second ranked team they’ll face this season. And of Penn State’s four opponents after this game, just one (Minnesota) is above .500 on the season.
Ohio State is the favorite on the road in this one, and with good reason. The Buckeyes fell to No. 1 Oregon by just one point on the road in October, so they already shown they match up well with top competition. The Buckeyes won by just four against Nebraska last weekend, but they may have been looking forward a bit to this showdown.
Quarterback Will Howard leads a potent offensive attack for Ohio State, passing for 1,795 yards and 17 touchdowns this season. He was 13-of-16 for 221 yards and three touchdowns against the Cornhuskers and has thrown multiple touchdowns in all but one game this season.

For Ohio State vs Penn State stats, throw in the fact that Nittany Lions coach James Franklin is 1-13 against top-five opponents over his career, and we like Ohio State to come out on top on Saturday. Take the Buckeyes as the favorite.

3. Ole Miss Gets It Going vs Arkansas
The college football odds early in the season had the Ole Miss Rebels as a top contender for a spot in the College Football Playoff. If the Rebels are going to make the 12-team field, they’re going to need to step it up a notch the rest of the way.
Coach Lane Kiffin’s bunch is 6-2 with a game against No. 2 Georgia next week, but it has to take it a game at a time as it will need to go unbeaten to have a shot at the CFP.
That begins this week with a trip to face the Arkansas Razorbacks, who have been as inconsistent a bunch as you can find in college football. Arkansas is 5-3 and has alternated wins and losses over the last five games. The Razorbacks lost to then-ranked Oklahoma State, which is now 3-5, in double overtime in Week 2 of the season, but they knocked off then-No. 4 Tennessee in early October.
Ole Miss is the favorite in this game, and the Rebels’ offense is why. When it gets going, this offensive attack can overwhelm an opponent.
It starts with quarterback Jaxson Dart, who has passed for 2,695 yards (third nationally) and 15 touchdowns this season. The senior is completing 70.6% of his pass attempts and has been picked off just three times in 2024.
Dart has one of the top receivers in the country to throw to in senior Tre Morris, who is second in the country in receiving yards with 987. He has six touchdowns and is coming off his third 100-plus-yard receiving game in the last four outings.
Arkansas is going to have troubles against the Ole Miss offense, which is why the Rebels are the team you should be taking when you’re doing your online sports betting on this game.
