We’re not ones to normally complain about a bad beat. But seriously LSU? All three of our underdog picks hit last week but the Tigers couldn’t cover the 3.5 spread, winning by three points. Unbelievable. Let’s not dwell on that because we have a college football week 12 parlay to attend to.
It is crazy to think we are already approaching the end of the season. Where did the time go? Unfortunately, this week doesn’t feature any marquee matchups or particularly compelling games for that matter. That made putting together our parlay a challenge.
But we still found a way. Here is The Touchback’s college football week 12 parlay. Hopefully, we don’t get tripped up by a half point again.
College Football Record in 2022

The Touchback’s college football week 12 parlay
Game 1
Penn State Nittany Lions at Rutgers Scarlet Knights
The pick: Penn State -19.5 (-110)
Penn State sits in a zone between good and elite. They aren’t on the level of Ohio State or Michigan but are far better than other Big 10 schools. It seems like the Nittany Lions will cover this easily given Rutgers offensive struggles in 2022 and Penn State’s ability to score.
Game 2
Washington State Cougars at Arizona Wildcats
The pick: Arizona to win (+145)
As someone who went to school on the Palouse and has a soft spot for Washington State, it pains me to make this bet. But this is exactly the type of game the Cougars lose, usually in a head scratching manner. Arizona has proven it can play with good teams and needs to win out to be bowl eligible. Meanwhile, the contest means nothing for Wazzu who could be looking ahead to the Apple Cup.

Game 3
Stanford Cardinal at Cal Golden Bears
The pick: Stanford to win (+165)
This is a matchup of two bad sides. Cal are losers of six straight while Stanford has lost three games on the trot. That being said, the Cardinal do hold the better win in 2022 (Notre Dame) and have enough talent to emerge victorious from this pillow fight.
The payoff
A lean slate of games sees our college football week 12 parlay features low odds of +1140. That means if you bet $10, you would win $120.40.
