Three picks, a calculated +555 payout and no double-digit favorite to sweat. My Week 4 college football parlay targets Saturday, September 26, with one SEC matchup and two Big Ten games.

I’m pairing two outright winners with an underdog getting more than a field goal. At the prices below, a $10 bet would return about $65.48, including the stake, if all three selections win.

Below are my best college football parlay picks for Week 4, the odds for each leg and why I’m backing this combination.

BetMGM Ontario odds checked September 25 for Saturday’s games. American odds are rounded from decimal prices of 1.49, 2.35 and 1.87; the combined payout is calculated from those prices. Local prices may differ.

The three legs combine to approximately +555: $55.48 in profit on a $10 stake. I’m keeping Iowa’s +5.5 point cushion while asking Texas and USC only to win. Compare the current college football odds before building the ticket, because a different spread or price changes the bet.

I prefer Texas outright in Knoxville. Arch Manning showed he could keep the offense moving under pressure in the 24-23 comeback win against Ohio State, leading three consecutive touchdown drives to close the game.

Each of those drives lasted at least 12 plays and covered at least 72 yards. That is the kind of sustained offense I want from a road favorite, particularly if crowd noise makes quick starts difficult.

Texas followed that impressive win with a 30-6 victory over UTSA, but Tennessee is a much tougher assignment. The Vols enter unbeaten after beating Kennesaw State 42-9. I’m buying the Longhorns to finish ahead without adding a requirement to win by a particular margin.
