Let’s dive into my college football picks for best same game parlay as Ohio State takes on Texas in the College Football Playoff semifinals.

Ohio State vs Texas: 4 Best Bets for CFP Same Game Parlay

1. Texas +6

While everyone is making their rounds anointing Ohio State as national champs, need I remind you that the same people wanted Buckeyes coach Ryan Day fired while we were all in a Thanksgiving coma.

It wasn’t that long ago.

Ohio State may very well win the ‘ship, but I think they’re going to have their hands full in this College Football Playoff matchup. There seems to be a bit of an overreaction to the Buckeyes’ two recent blowout wins in which they scored 83 points, per Ohio State vs Texas stats.

So, why is Texas the side to bet in this matchup? The Longhorns keep winning despite yet playing their best football.

The Texas defensive line may be the best Ohio State has faced this season.  The Longhorns are a live dog in the Cotton Bowl. Take the Texas Longhorns to cover ATS versus Ohio State as part of your SGP at the BetUS Sportsbook.

Bet on This Parlay Pick: Texas ATS (+6)

2. Bet Under 53.5

The case for the under lies in two key things. Most obviously, the Texas offense has not been lapping opponents.

I am expecting a better performance from Quinn Ewers and company, but don’t expect the Longhorns to win a shootout.

Secondly, the Ohio State offense has to come back down to earth at some point. Remember the Buckeyes scoring 10 points in the team’s rivalry loss to Michigan?

The Texas defense has a chance to contain Ohio State a bit more than we saw in recent weeks. Bet online on the under in this Cotton Bowl game.

Bet on This Parlay Pick: Under 53.5

3. Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith Anytime Touchdown

We may like the under, but freshman Jeremiah Smith is still going to get his. Smith has scored four touchdowns in the Buckeyes’ first two College Football Playoff games.

Look for Smith to continue his hot streak. Take Smith’s anytime touchdown bet in the NCAAF predictions.

Bet on This Parlay Pick: Jeremiah Smith Anytime TD (-167)

4. Take Texas TE Gunnar Helm to Score a TD

Not quite as hot as Smith, but Texas tight end Gunnar Helm has also scored a touchdown in the Longhorns’ first two CFP games. Even amid his struggles, Helm has become a bit of a security blanket for Ewers.

🚨 NFL WATCH 🚨

Longhorns TE Gunnar Helm is a name that would likely be at the very top of the tight end class in other years, but seems to be flying under the radar with the depth of this class.

Let’s make it three for three. Snag Helm’s TD college football player prop bet as the final leg of your same game parlay.

Bet on This Parlay Pick: Gunnar Helm Anytime TD (+190)
