College football parlay picks could generate big payout

SportsLine expert Thomas Casale has been a winning bettor for more than 30 years, and he is 122-92-5 (57%) overall on his college football picks over the past two seasons. Additionally, he is 26-8 (76.4%) in bowl games during that stretch. Casale has revealed a three-team parlay for Week 7 that pays almost 6-1. One of his picks is Pittsburgh to cover as a 3.5-point favorite against California on Saturday, and you can find the other two legs of the parlay here. 

Heisman Trophy value picks from expert 

SportsLine expert Gene Menez was a Heisman voter for seven years, and he uses that experience to rank his top 10 Heisman Trophy bets by value each week. He has posted his top 10 list heading into Week 7, which marks the halfway point of the season. Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty (+225), Colorado wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter (+300) and Miami quarterback Cam Ward (+400) have emerged as the betting favorites. 

However, Menez suggests staying away from all three of those players, as they all rank outside the top five in his value list. All three of their prices are very short at this point in the season, so Menez prefers the value he has found with a pair of longshots. His top Heisman value pick pays around 20-1, and you can see that pick along with the rest of his top 10 here.
