Louisville -4.5 @ -110
Player Prop Picks
The odds for Caullin Lacy (Louisville) to record a TD are -105. We believe there’s merit in backing him for an Anytime Touchdown Scorer prop wager, meaning we need him to punch it in.
The odds for Eli Holstein (Pitt) to accumulate over 19.5 rushing yards are -114. We feel confident that he’ll cover the Player Rushing Yards line, which looks generous.
Same Game Parlay Picks
Take a same game parlay that incorporates Louisville to cover the -4.5 spread along with Over 57.5 points. Add in Caullin Lacy (Louisville) as an anytime touchdown scorer.
A football same game parlay is a single event wager where you make predictions that are going to happen in a particular game. Should a bettor get these picks correct, then they can achieve a big return from a small stake.
