Three Tuesday night college football games, three parlay builds. We break down spreads, totals and moneylines at FanDuel, with combined prices up to +596 and the value spots flagged.
Tuesday's College Football Slate: Three Games, One Kickoff Time
Tuesday night brings a tidy three-game college football card, and all three games kick off at 7:00 PM ET. Every price below comes from FanDuel, so there is no line shopping to do, only decisions about which spots offer value. We could not retrieve form or head-to-head data for this slate, so this analysis is built purely on the market. That means implied probabilities, spread sizes and how the prices relate to each other.
The Odds at a Glance
| Game (Tuesday, 7:00 PM ET) | Spread | Total | Moneyline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eastern Michigan Eagles @ Western Michigan Broncos | Western Michigan -13.5 (-110) | 46.5 (-110 both sides) | Western Michigan -588 / Eastern Michigan +440 |
| Ball State Cardinals @ Ohio Bobcats | Ohio -8.5 (-110) | 49.5 (-110 both sides) | Ohio -333 / Ball State +265 |
| Miami (OH) RedHawks @ Kent State Golden Flashes | Miami (OH) -7.5 (-110) | 46.5 (-110 both sides) | Miami (OH) -294 / Kent State +240 |
Parlay 1: The Favorites Cover Triple (+596)
- Western Michigan Broncos -13.5 (-110, FanDuel)
- Ohio Bobcats -8.5 (-110, FanDuel)
- Miami (OH) RedHawks -7.5 (-110, FanDuel)
The market makes all three home or road favorites clear winners: Western Michigan at -588 implies roughly an 85% win probability, Ohio at -333 about 77%, and Miami (OH) at -294 about 75%. Laying the points instead of the moneyline turns three short prices into one +596 ticket. The risk is obvious. Western Michigan has to win by two touchdowns or more, and all three must cover. This is the highest-variance build of the three, so keep the stake small.
Parlay 2: Take the Points Double (+264)
- Ball State Cardinals +8.5 (-110, FanDuel)
- Kent State Golden Flashes +7.5 (-110, FanDuel)
Both underdogs get a touchdown-plus cushion. A spread of 7.5 or 8.5 sits just beyond a one-score game, so either team can lose a close one and still cash. Both are priced at -110, which implies about 52.4% each, so you are not paying a premium for the points. If you believe the favorites are slightly overpriced on a short midweek turnaround, this is the cleaner way to act on it than hunting for outright upsets. Together the legs return +264 on a combined price.
Parlay 3: Spread and Total Mix (+264)
- Ohio Bobcats -8.5 (-110, FanDuel)
- Under 46.5 in Miami (OH) RedHawks @ Kent State Golden Flashes (-110, FanDuel)
This pairs a favorite with a total from a different game. Ohio is the second-shortest price on the board at -333 on the moneyline, and a spread of 8.5 is a reasonable number to lay. The Miami (OH) and Kent State game has the lowest total on the slate alongside the Western Michigan game, at 46.5, with the Under at -110. Spreading the risk across a side and a total means one blowout in an unrelated game will not sink the ticket. The combined price is +264.
Where the Value Might Be
- Ball State +265 and Kent State +240 on the moneyline: These imply roughly 27% and 29% win probabilities. The moneyline pairs in each game carry about 4% of built-in bookmaker margin. If you think either underdog is closer to a coin-flip spot, the plus-money price is generous. Taking the points at -110 is the more conservative alternative.
- Eastern Michigan +440: This implies about 18.5%. It is a lottery ticket, not a core leg, but the +13.5 at -110 is the sturdier way to back the Eagles.
- Avoid heavy moneyline stacking: Western Michigan at -588 offers very little return for the risk. The spread gives better payout per unit of risk.
Final Thoughts
With every price coming from a single book and no form data to lean on, the edge here is in structure rather than inside information. Use spreads as the primary tool, keep the parlays to two or three legs, and size your stakes accordingly. Parlay 2 and Parlay 3 give the best balance of payout and probability, while Parlay 1 is the swing for the fences.
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.
| Parlay | Best price | Next best |
|---|---|---|
| Parlay 1 (3 legs) | FanDuel +597 | - |
| Parlay 2 (2 legs) | FanDuel +265 | - |
| Parlay 3 (2 legs) | FanDuel +265 | - |
