Two Tuesday night college football games offer sharp parlay value. Here are our best combinations for Delaware vs Middle Tennessee and FIU vs Jacksonville State.
Tuesday Night College Football Parlay Picks - October 13
Tuesday night college football is a bettor's playground - smaller markets, sharper lines, and genuine value if you know where to look. We have two games on the slate tonight, both kicking off in the 8-9 PM ET window, and the odds boards are showing some interesting spots worth stacking into parlays. Let's break it down.
Game 1: Delaware Blue Hens @ Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders (8:00 PM ET)
This is a tight spread - Delaware installed as a -1.5 road favourite, which immediately signals a near pick-em situation. The Blue Hens are being asked to win outright on the road in a mid-week conference clash, and at -1.5 that margin is razor thin. What catches the eye here is the Middle Tennessee +1.5 at -103 (Courtside) - essentially getting the home team at near-even money with a cushion. Home field in mid-week NCAAF games at the mid-major level is a genuine factor, and laying only -103 for the home side with a hook is excellent value.
On the total, the market is split between 47.5 and 48.5, but the Over 47.5 at -106 (FanDuel) is the cleaner number. Getting the over at the lower hook for less juice than the under is a marginal but real edge. Mid-major teams in Tuesday night spots often produce uptempo, looser defensive efforts.
The Middle Tennessee moneyline at +104 (FanDuel) is a standout number - you are getting plus money on the home team in a virtual pick-em. That implied probability of around 49% feels generous for a team playing at home. This is a value flag worth noting for moneyline-only bettors.
Game 2: Florida International Panthers @ Jacksonville State Gamecocks (9:00 PM ET)
Jacksonville State as -3 home favourites against FIU represents a more decisive lean from the market. The Jacksonville State -3 at -105 (Fanatics) is solid juice for a three-point favourite and the Gamecocks should be trusted to cover on their home turf in this spot. FIU has shown vulnerability as a road team and +127 (Courtside) on the Panthers moneyline is more of a longshot flier than a value play here.
The total sits at 45.5 with both the over and under priced at -108 (Courtside), meaning the market sees genuine two-way action. For parlay purposes, pairing Jacksonville State -3 with a total leg is the cleaner approach. The under 45.5 has appeal in a game where Jacksonville State's defence at home can control tempo.
Parlay 1: Double Value Play (+244 combined)
- Middle Tennessee +1.5 (-103, Courtside) - Home team getting a hook at near-even money
- Jacksonville State -3 (-105, Fanatics) - Gamecocks as justified home favourites
This two-legger combines the two home favourites across both Tuesday night games. Both teams are getting home field advantage in mid-week spots, and the combined juice is minimal. Combined odds land around +244, offering solid value for what is essentially backing two home sides with hooks.
Parlay 2: Spread + Total Combo (+265 combined)
- Jacksonville State -3 (-105, Fanatics) - Gamecocks control at home
- Over 47.5 (-106, FanDuel) - Delaware vs Middle Tennessee at the sharper number
This cross-game parlay mixes a spread pick from Game 2 with a total from Game 1, hitting two different angles. Jacksonville State covering -3 at home combined with a higher-scoring Delaware-Middle Tennessee game makes for an interesting two-legger at around +265. Getting the over at 47.5 rather than 48.5 is the key edge here - that half point matters in tight totals markets.
Parlay 3: Three-Leg Underdog Special (+486 combined)
- Middle Tennessee +1.5 (-103, Courtside) - Near pick-em home side
- Jacksonville State -3 (-105, Fanatics) - Justified favourite
- Over 47.5 (-106, FanDuel) - Better hook on the total
For the more aggressive parlay bettors, this three-legger strings all three of our top picks together. The combined price of approximately +486 gives you nearly 5-to-1 on three legs where the juice on each individual leg is minimal. The key selling point is that none of these legs carry heavy juice - you are not fighting -130 or -140 prices to build the parlay, which is exactly the kind of structure that offers true value in three-leg college football accumulators.
Best Value Flag
The single best odds alert on tonight's board is Middle Tennessee +104 (FanDuel) on the moneyline. Getting plus money on a home team in a 1.5-point spread game is a legitimate edge. If you want a straight bet rather than a parlay, this is the number to target. Implied probability of ~49% on what the spread market is treating as a coin flip is as clean a value spot as you will find in mid-major college football.
