Week 3 of the NFL season kicked off on Thursday night with an AFC North showdown that saw Cleveland take care of Pittsburgh 29-17. It was a nice day at the office for Pickswise Nation, as we had the Browns -4.5, went 2-1 on player prop bets and cashed both of our anytime touchdown scorer plays (Najee Harris at +160 and Nick Chubb at -115). Now we’ll try to keep the momentum going into Sunday.
Here is this week's mega parlay:
For this parlay we are going with one favorite against an alternate spread and two underdogs on the money line. Let's break down each of the three legs one by one.
Texans ML over Bears (+125)
Houston was a big underdog in each of its first 2 games, but it tied the Colts and then almost pulled off a road upset of the Broncos. In both games the Texans were winning most of the way. The Bears beat the 49ers back in Week 1, but that may have been a fluke. The game was played in horrible weather conditions and the field was like a slip and slide. Through 2 games, quarterback Justin Fields still hasn’t thrown for 200 total yards. That tells you everything you need to know about the state of offensive coordinator Luke Getsy’s attack. Last week against the Packers, Getsy’s unit went multiple quarters without getting a first down. Houston’s defense has quietly been playing pretty well, most recently holding Denver QB Russell Wilson to only 219 yards while sacking him 3 times.
