This edition of Thursday Night Football takes us to sunny California as the Las Vegas Raiders face off against the Los Angeles Rams. The Raiders have been surging recently with their offense finally coming together, while the Rams have been in the basement of the NFC West all season. I was so close to hitting my +1472 Monday Night Football Same Game Parlay as all I needed was a Chris Godwin touchdown to complete it, which happened with just seconds left, before being waived off due to a penalty. I’m back with a vengeance for Thursday Night Football with a SGP that pays ou t at over 11/1 at FanDuel Sportsbook.
Part of the value in Same Game Parlays, of course, is that all of its components can be correlated if you so choose. That is the plan here, as Cam Akers and Davante Adams scoring a touchdown would be good for the over. Let's break down each of the SGP legs.
Over 44.5 (-105)
There's a chance we could see a shootout between Derek Carr and newly acquired Baker Mayfield on Thursday Night Football. Mayfield was acquired by the Rams on Tuesday in an attempt to solve their quarterback problems with Matthew Stafford sidelined. Los Angeles has started Bryce Perkins and John Wolford in the last 2 weeks, and they combined to go 27/49 for 278 yards and 4 interceptions. Mayfield has the opportunity to thrive under Sean McVay, and although the Rams are missing several important offensive personnel, there are still a few solid options like Van Jefferson and Tyler Higbee. As for the Raiders, they average 29.67 points in their last 3 games. Josh Jacobs has been unstoppable in the last few weeks, and Davante Adams has seen his chemistry with Carr jump off the charts. This is a lower total, and with the thriving Las Vegas offense paired with two poor defenses, I'll back the over.
