NCAA Football: Baylor at Southern Methodist

Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium rarely sees two explosive playmakers on this kind of October night. On October 25th, Wake Forest and SMU bring surging offensive weapons to their NCAAF collision. Romello Brinson’s upward momentum is hard to ignore after multiple games with high receiving yards and touchdowns. Meanwhile, T.J. Harden’s late-season production in both rushing yards and scores provides additional intrigue. This combination of trends could shape the best NCAAF same game parlay today.

Mustangs vs Demon Deacons Same Game Parlay Picks (Oct 25th, 2025)

Each selection interlocks around skill-position players trending upwards for both squads. Brinson’s receiving totals pair well with his touchdown potential. Chris Barnes offers volatility but a notable ceiling on touchdowns at home. Harden’s ground efficiency alongside his end-zone threat rounds out a correlated mix of prop bets for this slate.

Pick 1: Anytime Touchdown Scorer – Romello Brinson – +165

Romello Brinson has elevated his performance in all phases lately for SMU. His target share has climbed as he gains trust from quarterbacks. In several games, he delivered multiple touchdowns against respectable secondaries. Wake Forest’s defensive backs have been stretched by vertical threats this season. Brinson’s speed and route-running create mismatches across the field. Given these patterns, backing him as an anytime TD scorer aligns strongly with current usage.

Pick 2: Player Touchdowns – T.J. Harden Over 0.5 – -130

T.J. Harden enters Thursday night having surged late in the season for SMU's ground attack unit. Defenses are struggling now against his acceleration through interior gaps as blocking improves up front each week. In October games especially, Harden has finished drives decisively inside ten yards out—resulting in frequent scoring chances by design.

Pick 3: Player Touchdowns – Chris Barnes Over 0.5 – +125

Chris Barnes brings an unpredictable element for Wake Forest but flashes enormous upside near the goal line. His ability to put up over one hundred receiving yards makes any red zone look dangerous for defenders assigned to him one-on-one. Though inconsistent week-to-week, Barnes’ knack for exploiting soft coverage boosts his probability of crossing into the end zone at least once against SMU’s defensive backfield.

Pick 4: Player Receiving Yards – Romello Brinson Over 49.5 – -158

Brinson has logged noticeable increases in receptions and total yardage through October for SMU. Opposing defenses struggle when he gets separation early in drives, often leading to chunk plays downfield. He cleared fifty receiving yards multiple times against conference opponents who play aggressive coverage schemes like Wake Forest employs. Recent form suggests he can surpass 49.5 yards again here if targets remain steady or climb further.

Pick 5: Player Rushing Yards – T.J. Harden Over 39.5 – -148

Harden also finds success racking up significant yardage behind an improving offensive line this season for SMU. The past few matchups illustrate increased volume on first downs plus efficient breakaway runs versus similar defenses faced by Wake Forest earlier this year—making over forty rushing yards an attainable threshold given game flow projections.
