Week 14 of the 2023 NFL season kicks off with Thursday Night Football between the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers. No, that is not a misprint. A primetime NFL game features an absolutely horrendous Patriots team and a Steelers squad that is without starting quarterback Kenny Pickett.
This is just about as bad as it gets when it comes to primetime matchups (or any matchups, really), but we can spice it up with some betting action. Here is my Same Game Parlay for the festivities, which kick off at 8:15 pm ET on Amazon Prime. Also be sure to check out our full Patriots vs Steelers predictions.
Part of the value in a Same Game Parlay, of course, is that all of its components can be correlated if you so choose. At the same time, plays that aren't correlated drive up the overall payout of the parlay. That is the entire plan here, as Ezekiel Elliott scoring a touchdown does not exactly work well with Steelers +6 and Under 30.5. That being said, in what projects to be such a low-scoring affair there is no reason why the other 2 plays can't cash even if Elliott finds the endzone. Let's break down each of the 3 legs.
That is some of the plan here, as D'Onta Foreman scoring a touchdown would obviously work well with a big win by the Bears. At the same time, plays that aren't correlated drive up the overall payout of the parlay. That is the case with backing Bryce Young to rack up his fair share of passing yards. But even if he does, there is no reason why Chicago can't take care of business. Let's break down each of the 3 legs.
