Tuesday College Football Parlay Picks: Delaware, Missouri State

Tuesday's College Football Slate: Two Games, Three Parlay Angles

Midweek college football is a thin market, and that is exactly why it deserves a close look. Tuesday's NCAAF card has just two games, both priced at FanDuel. With only two fixtures, every parlay here is a two-leg combination with one leg from each game. We never stack two legs from the same game, because US sportsbooks only offer that as a same-game parlay.

One note on research: live form and head-to-head data could not be retrieved for these teams, so this article is built purely on the market prices. Treat every opinion below as a read on the odds, not on recent results.

The Odds at a Glance

Game Breakdowns

Delaware Blue Hens @ Western Kentucky Hilltoppers

This is a near pick-em. Delaware is a short 2.5-point road favorite at -110, and the moneyline of -133 implies roughly 57% for the Blue Hens. Western Kentucky at +112 implies about 47%. The 59.5 total is the highest on the board, so the market expects points. Because the spread is 3 or less, the moneyline is a legitimate option here rather than just a heavy-chalk trap.

Value flag: Western Kentucky at +112 is plus money for a home team that is only 2.5 points behind on the spread. If you lean toward the Hilltoppers, the moneyline pays noticeably better than laying the points, and the cost is only the half-point and the push-free outcome.

Sam Houston State Bearkats @ Missouri State Bears

Missouri State is the clear favorite at -6.5, and the moneyline of -222 implies about 69%. The interesting number is the spread price. Missouri State -6.5 at -102 (FanDuel) is almost even money, which is a very friendly price for laying a touchdown-ish number. The other side carries the juice: Sam Houston State +6.5 costs -120, so the book is leaning on Bearkats money.

Value flag: Missouri State -6.5 at -102 is the most generous spread price on the card. It implies only about 50.5% for a favorite the moneyline rates at nearly 69%.

Recommended Parlays

Parlay 1: The Chalk Double (+278)

• Delaware Blue Hens -2.5 (-110) at FanDuel
• Missouri State Bears -6.5 (-102) at FanDuel

Combined price: +278. This pairs the two favorites on the spread, and the Missouri State leg is the best-priced number on the slate. The risk is a Delaware win by exactly 2 or fewer, so it needs a clean cover, but at nearly even-money prices on both legs the payout is solid for a two-team ticket.

Parlay 2: Shootout Plus Points (+250)

• Over 59.5 (-110) in Delaware @ Western Kentucky at FanDuel
• Sam Houston State Bearkats +6.5 (-120) at FanDuel

Combined price: +250. A 59.5 total is high, but a game the market sees as a coin flip tends to stay live late, with both offenses pushing. The Bearkats leg uses the cushion of +6.5 and is the only game-script hedge in this set: if Missouri State wins, a one-score margin still cashes. Be aware the -120 price is the priciest leg in this article, so this is the lowest-value ticket on a per-leg basis.

Parlay 3: Underdog and Under (+305)

• Western Kentucky Hilltoppers moneyline (+112) at FanDuel
• Under 51.5 (-110) in Sam Houston State @ Missouri State at FanDuel

Combined price: +305. This is the high-payout ticket. It takes the plus-money home dog in the tight game and pairs it with a lower-scoring read in the other. The Under here is a stand-alone view on the 51.5 line, not tied to the Hilltoppers outcome. This is the most contrarian ticket, so size it accordingly.

How to Use These Tickets

Parlay 1 and Parlay 3 take opposite sides of the Delaware game, so do not play both as a full-strength pair. Pick the angle you believe in. If you want a single anchor, Missouri State -6.5 at -102 is the best-priced leg on the board and shows up in Parlay 1. Lines can move before kickoff on a thin midweek card, so recheck the prices before placing anything.

Where to place these parlays

A parlay has to be placed at a single sportsbook, so the best price for each individual leg is not always available together. These are the live prices for each whole parlay at the sportsbooks that offer every leg.
