This is David with Tonyspicks.com, here with a two-team college football parlay for Saturday, October 19th, 2024. Another glorious College Football Saturday is upon us, and the first game we’re looking at is the Maryland Terrapins taking on the USC Trojans.
Game 1: Maryland vs. USC
USC is making a cross-country trip to play this road game, and they’ve struggled on the road this season. We saw them lose outright to Minnesota in their last away game, and before that, they lost to Michigan on the road. While they’ve played decently at home, those two road games raise concerns.
I know Maryland is coming off a brutal performance against Northwestern, and it seems like everyone is on USC for this one, but I’m taking the points with Maryland. I’ll take them at +7.5. We’ve seen Big Ten teams struggle when they have to fly across two time zones, and I don’t think this situation will be any different. While Maryland had a poor outing last week, their passing attack isn’t terrible. I believe they’ll be able to move the ball against USC’s defense and keep it close. So, give me Maryland +7.5.
Game 2: Illinois vs. Michigan
The second game we’re looking at is Illinois taking on Michigan. Illinois comes in as a 4-point underdog at home, and I’m going to take Illinois with the points. We’ve seen Michigan have a lot of issues early this season, especially at the quarterback position. They’ve tried Warren Davis—or is it Davis Warren? The two first names throw me off. They’ve also tried Alex Orji, and now they’re going with Tuttle. Tuttle did look okay at times in the Washington game, but I’m still not impressed with Michigan’s quarterback room.
Defensively, Michigan has one of the worst passing defenses in the country, which is surprising considering their talent on the defensive line and experience in the secondary. I think Illinois can exploit this with their solid quarterback play from Altmyer. Illinois has a real chance to win this game outright, so I’ll take them +4.
