3 Tennessee vs Ohio State Parlay Legs To Bet

1. An Opening Score in First Six Minutes (-117)

This game features two of the top four defenses at the Football Bowl Subdivision level. Per Tennessee vs Ohio State stats, the Buckeyes lead the nation by allowing just 241 yards per game while the Volunteers are fourth in the total defense with opponents only gaining 278.3 yards a game.

However, there are future NFL players on offense for both of these teams. Since neither team made it into their conference title games, there has been time to fine-tune things on offense.

2. Neither team to score 3+ times in a row (+180)

Don’t be scared off by the fact that the college football spread has host Ohio State favored by seven points. Tennessee is 3-1 when facing a ranked team this season and that includes a 24-17 win over Alabama.

These teams could be exchanging body blows as both teams feature elite running backs along with talented pass catchers.

It won’t be a surprise if the game’s outcome is in question going into the final drive or two.

The odds are at +180 for neither team to score at least three times in a row and we would jump on that betting option in our NCAAF predictions.

PARLAY PICK: Neither Tennessee Nor Ohio State To Score 3+ Times In A Row (+180)

3. Ohio State To Score First (-162)

Ohio State has a reputation of coming up short in the big games. Another loss to Michigan, this one happening at home, only added to those vibes.

This is not the first rodeo for Ohio State offensive coordinator Chip Kelly. He has coached in plenty of big games during his time as the Oregon head coach.

The Buckeyes do not want to fall behind in this game. Their fans might not be able to handle that so take Ohio State at -162 to score first when making Dec. 21 college football picks.

PARLAY PICK: Ohio State to score first (-162)

Bet On A Score In The First Six Minutes, Neither Team to Score 3+ Times in a Row and Ohio State to Score First
