Unfortunately, there isn’t much college football on this weekend as teams prepare for their Bowl games. We know one thing though, and that’s a normal slate of NFL awaits on Sunday with several playoff implications on the line. Let’s dive in to this week’s 3 leg parlay, thanks to our friends at predictive analytics website, Dimers.com.

  • Leg 1 – Army vs Navy, Saturday December 11th 

    This is the only college football game on this weekend and several hundred thousand people are no doubt taking a look at it.  

    Over the last 47 times these teams have faced off the Under is 38-9. As a result, the total has made its way down to 34.5, so I’m gonna make a hard pass on that because all it takes is a few big plays to destroy the hopes of Unders bettors.  

    Looking at how these teams face off, they both clearly love to run the ball. The one huge thing that stood out to me here is Army’s ability to pass when they need to. They average 21.9 yards per completion. 

    It’s obvious both teams are going to establish the run early. It’s going to be the team that explodes for more big plays who’s going to take win. 

    I think Army is the way to go here. I see it being a low scoring game (obviously) but Army covers, I’m sure of it.  

    Look for Isaiah Alston to make us Army backers happy with a dominant display. 

    PICK: Army to COVER the spread (-7.5) (Odds -110) 

  • Leg 2 – Las Vegas Raiders at Kansas City Chiefs, Sunday December 12th 

    Nothing better than some AFC West divisional action in December people.  

    Yes, since the Henry Ruggs news broke the Raiders offense has been as stagnant as ever, struggling to score points. With that news, and the Chiefs recent defensive improvements, it looks like the ‘books want the people to bet the Under here, as it got bet down to 47.5. 

    But history repeats, we all know that.  

    These teams know how to score. In the last 4 meetings between these squads the Over has hit. With scores big of 41-14, 35-31, 40-32, and 40-9.  

    Look for a classic Carr vs Mahomes shootout here. I’m taking the Over.  

    PICK: Points total OVER 47.5 (Odds -110) 

  • Leg 3 – New Orleans Saints at New York Jets, December 12th  

    Both these offenses have been struggling majorly to score the ball of late. The Jets only surpassed 20 points one time in their L5 contests with that coming against the Houston Texans when they registered 21 points. 

    The Saints are welcoming back Alvin Kamara this week. Look for them to try and produce a win feeding Kamara the ball a ton here. Their defense will give Zach Wilson nightmares and should mean they hold them to a low amount of points as well.

    PICK – Points total UNDER 43 (Odds -110)
