We did it! That’s right, our parlay hit last week. You can read about it here, but we snagged a cool $456.73. After doing this 13 or so times over the past two seasons, it was nice to win one. Part of these winnings will clearly go to our college football week 6 parlay, but there is something important we need to note first.
Our victory last week is not a sign we know what we’re talking about. Nor does it mean you should make this wager. However, our view is that losing ten bucks to win five on a single cover is lame. There is no fun in that. Even if we never hit a parlay again in our life, we’ll keep going for because our loss is minimal and the upside massive.
So, we pocketed $100 and the remaining $350 covers our previous losses as well as parlays for the rest of this season and next. And now what you’ve been waiting for; The Touchback’s college football week 6 parlay. It will most likely lose, but we can’t really complain after winning last week. Odds via Fanduel Sportsbook.

The Touchback’s college football week 6 parlay
Penn State (+104) at Iowa
No amount of Kinnick magic or points against Maryland will convince us Iowa’s offense is any good. In terms of defense, Penn State and Iowa are equally matched. However, the Nittany Lions have more explosive playmakers on the other side of the ball. This doesn’t mean they can’t be shut down by the Hawkeyes. But as an underdog, they provide value for a parlay.
Memphis (+142) at Tulsa
Memphis has lost two straight close games including a shocker to Temple. Alternatively, Tulsa just got boat raced by Houston and was upset by FCS UC Davis earlier in the year. Everything we have seen in 2021 shows us the Tigers are clearly better than the Golden Hurricanes. Getting them at +142 in this situation, even on the road, is a slam dunk.
UTSA (+140) at Western Kentucky
There is a good chance this number has come down since the article was published, but if you see UTSA with a + on the moneyline, be sure to grab it. Of course, you’re probably wondering why. Well, Western Kentucky is being overvalued after playing a pair of close-ish games against Big 10 schools. On the other hand, the Roadrunners are seemingly being overlooked due to a close victory at home versus a poor UNLV side. However, they are the better team.
Georgia at Auburn +14.5 (-110)
All we learned from Georgia’s beatdown of Arkansas last week is that the Razorbacks were wildly overhyped. Meanwhile, Auburn is 4-1 with their only loss on the road at Penn State. We don’t know who is playing quarterback for the Bulldogs, but we take the Tigers to cover regardless of the starter.
Their defense has the talent to slow Georgia down and Bo Nix is dynamic enough to score some points. This won’t be a shootout, so asking Auburn to keep this within two touchdowns is realistic.

Parlay Total: Bet $10 to win $216.20
The payout on our college football week 6 parlay is pretty low due mostly to a lack of realistic underdogs. Unlike last week when Kentucky and Mississippi State were seriously undervalued, there aren’t a lot of risks out there worth gambling on.
