Longshot Parlay for National Championship – Get +3648 Odds on This 4-Leg Bet

• Miami (13-2) clashes with Indiana (15-0) in tonight’s National Championship game in Miami at 7:30 p.m. ET.
• Indiana is favored by 8.5 points at the best American sportsbooks. The line has remained steady since late last week.
• I am confident with my longshot Miami vs Indiana same-game parlay pick for tonight’s college finale.

Miami (13-2; 10-5 ATS) meets Indiana (15-0; 10-5 ATS) with a shot at the college football national championship on the line at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.

The Hurricanes are attempting to win their sixth overall title, while Indiana tries to complete an undefeated season and win their first. The headline matchup is how Curt Cignetti and Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza go up against a ferocious Miami defensive front seven.

Let’s talk parlay. I have connected on a few from the boxing world and have been really close on some College Football Playoff ones, too. Longshots are always fun and meant for a good few-dollar sprinkle.

This Miami vs Indiana same-game parlay combines four legs with +3648 odds, meaning a $100 bet returns $3,748 total if all four predictions hit. Same-game parlays offer bigger payouts than individual bets because all selections must win – but when they do, the returns rapidly add up.

Here’s the breakdown of each leg in my longshot parlay for the National Championship:

Mark Fletcher Anytime Touchdown (+110)

I’m riding one of the better running backs to start this same-game parlay. I picked Fletcher to do well in this CFP format and he has not disappointed. Fletcher has 393 rushing yards and two touchdowns (one receiving). If Indiana gives up a touchdown early, the belief is that it will be Fletcher either catching the ball out of the backfield or darting his way for paydirt.

Clearly, Miami has nothing to lose in its home stadium and letting Fletcher loose remains the most dangerous threat for the Hurricanes. That is even more dangerous than Malachi Toney.

I think the combination of the offensive line and Fletcher’s ability to cause missed tackles may have an impact. Yes, Indiana’s rushing defense is one of the best when it comes to fewest missed tackles. However, the running back obviously feels at home here.

The trenches on the offensive line may be the one edge Miami has, and they need to exploit this. Fletcher and Miami need a big play, maybe a touchdown, early to send a message to the Hoosiers that this will be no cakewalk.

Fernando Mendoza 250+ Passing Yards (+154)

Teams don’t get this far in the CFP without a big-time player. We can debate whether Fernando Mendoza is a number one NFL Draft pick later. Right now, he has a chance to dismantle Miami’s pass defense. Indiana possesses receiving threats all over the place. From Omar Cooper Jr. to Elijah Sarratt, the Hurricanes will have a challenge trying to contain everyone. Just ask Oregon how difficult that was.

Miami has prided itself on playing close to the vest and keeping games close in this playoff. Indiana comes out wanting to knock opponents out early.

But Miami did struggle a little against Ole Miss and Trinidad Chambliss. Mendoza is more like a surgeon executing short, moderate and deep cuts on opposing defenses. The feeling is that Mendoza may have to throw 25+ times (he has not in his last five games).

If that is the case, we like Mendoza to creep over the 250-yard mark late in the fourth quarter while cementing a victory.

Elijah Sarratt 2+ TDs (+550)

The Indiana standout wide receiver has breakaway speed and route running, and the Hoosiers will find ways to get him open. He has five receiving touchdowns in the last four games including two against Oregon.

Sarratt seeks the biggest stages and does not run from them. He’s got a team-high and FBS-high 15 TDs. He also has been held back a bit because Indiana has the ability to blow teams out. He will not be on Monday night.

Indiana -9.5 Alternate Spread (+104)

If one likes this at 8.5, going up a point is no harm here. The Hoosiers may have a tougher time with Miami, but have the ability to close games out and extend leads. Maybe the only team that truly could compete with them all season was Ohio State. Miami should be able to provide more resistance early, but may fade later.
