There are some interesting college football odds yet again this week, so we’re looking to take advantage of a few that we don’t agree with. Putting a few upset picks into a parlay can really pay off when it comes through.

3 Legs to Bet for NCAAF Week 13 Underdog Parlay
1. BYU Rebounds From First Loss vs Arizona State
The BYU Cougars suffered their first loss of the season last weekend vs Kansas, making a mess of the top of the Big 12 standings. The Cougars head into this week in a first-place tie with Colorado at 6-1 in league play, with two teams tied for third with two losses, including the Arizona State Sun Devils.
The Sun Devils have been one of the hotter teams in the country (pardon the pun), winning three straight and five of six. The one loss in that stretch came with quarterback Sam Leavitt out with an injury, but he’s back and playing well.
He threw for 275 yards and three touchdowns in Arizona State’s upset win over Kansas State last weekend. Two of those went to wide receiver Jordyn Tyson, who finished with 12 catches for 176 yards. Tyson has an over/under line of 84.5 yards in NCAAF player prop picks this week.
But now the Sun Devils have to face a BYU defense that is tied for the top spot in the nation with 17 interceptions. The Cougars are also 15th in the country in pass defense, allowing just 176.1 yards per contest, and 24th in scoring defense, giving up just 19.5 points per game, according to BYU vs Arizona State stats.
The No. 14 Cougars are an underdog yet again in this one, but we like them to show up big defensively against the Sun Devils. Make sure to make BYU part of your college football picks and parlays.

2. Wisconsin Wins Battle of Struggling Big Ten Squads
Four weeks ago, both Wisconsin and Nebraska were one win away from bowl eligibility. Now, after three losses for each, the winner of Saturday’s contest between the Badgers and Cornhuskers will finally get that bowl eligibility.
This series has been totally one-sided over the past decade. Per Wisconsin vs Nebraska betting tips, the Badgers have won the last 10 against the Cornhuskers.
The Cornhuskers are on a four-game skid, with the first two losses – to Ohio State and Indiana – understandable. But Nebraska has lost its last two to UCLA and USC, two teams it should be beating.
Wisconsin has been going through a gauntlet during its three-game losing streak, falling to Penn State, Iowa and Ohio State and averaging just 12.0 points in that span. That lack of offensive punch led the Badgers to make college football news this week by firing offensive coordinator Phil Longo. No replacement named.
“This is never something I ever, ever envisioned doing or wanted to do, and especially doing it when there’s still games to be played in the season,” head coach Luke Fickell said Monday. “But I felt like for all involved and most importantly, for our program and the kids in that locker room, what we had to do right now was move forward.”
Braedyn Locke will remain the starter at quarterback despite his 96-yard passing performance against Oregon last week. The Badgers are 97th in the nation in scoring and 102nd in passing.
The change should lead to a better outing in this one, and the Wisconsin defense is still strong, having held the No. 1 Ducks to just 16 points in last week’s loss. We like the shakeup to lead to a Badgers victory, giving you a second leg to bet online as part of our underdog parlay.
3. West Virginia Gets Needed Win vs Visiting UCF
As we stated earlier, we hit on two of our three underdog picks last week. The one loss? West Virginia, which failed to pull off the upset against Baylor. But we’re undaunted, putting our money on the Mountaineers to come through this week and clinch bowl eligibility at home.
West Virginia is hosting UCF, which has just two wins in conference play this season. The Knights need to sweep their last two games of the regular season to finish at .500 and become bowl eligible.
Quarterback Garrett Greene returned vs Baylor after missing a month with an upper body injury, throwing for 237 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for a season-high 129 yards and two scores.

Count on the Mountaineers to come through this week with an upset victory, completing our underdog parlay that you should be putting together when you’re doing your NCAA football predictions.
