CBS Sports previews three-leg parlay for Sunday’s college football match-ups
The Week 1 selections cover Washington State–Washington, Notre Dame–Wisconsin and Louisville–Ole Miss, with odds subject to change.
CBS Sports has published a three-leg betting parlay for three Sunday games in Week 1 of the 2026 college football season: Washington State against Washington, Notre Dame against Wisconsin and Louisville against Ole Miss.
The preview backs Washington to cover a 23.5-point spread against Washington State in Seattle. Washington won last year’s Apple Cup 59–24 after Washington State took the 2024 meeting by one score. The Huskies won nine games last season and are presented by CBS Sports as potential College Football Playoff contenders.
The second selection is Notre Dame at -20.5 against Wisconsin at Lambeau Field. Wisconsin went 4–8 last season, while Notre Dame finished 10–2 but missed the CFP. CBS Sports also identifies Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr as a leading passer and potential Heisman Trophy contender.
For Louisville–Ole Miss in Nashville, the preview targets the 54.5-point total rather than the six-point spread. The SportsLine Projection Model favours the Under, which it says reached that outcome in more than 60 per cent of simulations and received an “A” grade.
CBS Sports notes that Louisville coach Jeff Brohm has won at least nine games in each of his first three seasons. Ole Miss is entering its first full season under Pete Golding after Lane Kiffin left for LSU. The recommendations are editorial betting opinions, not guarantees, and sportsbook odds may change.
