College Football Week 4 Parlay Odds, Picks & Predictions (2022)

Sep 24, 2022 - 10:39 AM

Another week, another disappointing result. BYU could not stifle the ground game as Oregon ran roughshod over the Cougars in a game that was never particularly close. Meanwhile, UTSA and Miami could not muster any offensive success in the second half to close out the covers in their respective matchups. Looking forward, though, there are several games that are worth keeping an eye on where our luck could turn around.

Arkansas (ML) at Texas A&M (game at Dallas Cowboys Stadium)

Despite the change to Max Johnson at QB, Texas A&M’s offense showed little signs of improvement, gaining just 264 total yards. They squeaked by Miami 17-9 off the back of a muffed punt leading to a short-field touchdown, offensive miscues, and a couple of missed field goals.

The question is whether Arkansas can put up a greater offensive performance than Miami did last week. To start, Arkansas has the highest-rated offensive line this season in the Power-5 per PFF. Also, KJ Jefferson has completed over 70% of his passes and has added 7 passing and 3 running to only 1 INT. Finally, Jefferson hasn’t had to do it all himself like last year, with Raheim Sanders chipping in 440 rushing yards through 3 games.

Clemson at Wake Forest (u55.5)

If one were to look purely at the numbers, Clemson’s 41.3 ppg would look respectable. But, as BettingPros has noted, Clemson’s offense has been largely anemic for long stretches, notably the first halves of their 2 games against inferior FBS competition, where they scored a combined 27 points. Clemson has capitalized on short fields (5 TD drives of 32 yards or less) to pour it on in those two games and cover up some otherwise noticeable holes. Questions still remain, though, if Clemson can sustain long drives in competitive road atmospheres.

On the flip side, Clemson’s defense has been great and has perhaps the best defensive line group in the country. Given that Wake Forest’s slow mesh offensive concept needs more time to develop, an elite defensive can truly wreak havoc on a game plan. Last season, that’s exactly what happened. Clemson racked up 10 tackles for loss and 7 sacks. Look for Clemson’s d-line to once again stifle the slow mesh and Wake Forest.

Ohio State (1H -10.5) vs. Wisconsin

Wisconsin’s strength is once again its running game (218 rushing yards/game) spearheaded by Braelon Allen. However, they are running into what could be a buzz saw in Jim Knowles’ run defense which is giving up only 84 yards/game on the ground on just over 2 yards/carry.

After a slow start to the season against Notre Dame, Ohio State has turned its offense into turbo charge, ranking as one of the top offenses in terms of yards, passing yards, and scoring. Incorporating Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Julian Fleming back into the lineup should only add more firepower to CJ Stroud’s already impressive arsenal.

Ohio State will use the crowd and their dynamic offense to jump out to an early lead which Wisconsin will not be able to keep pace with.
