Get your popcorn ready for an absolutely huge matchup that is part of Wild Card Weekend in the NFL playoffs. On Sunday night the Detroit Lions will host the Los Angeles Rams in a battle between 2 franchises that swapped franchise quarterbacks not too many years ago. In fact, those QBs are still with their “new” teams – which means this also marks an individual showdown between L.A.'s Matthew Stafford and Detroit's Jared Goff.
Here is my Same Game Parlay for the festivities, which kick off at 8:15 pm ET on NBC. Also be sure to check out our full Rams vs Lions 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. That is some of the plan here, as Los Angeles quarterback Matthew Stafford throwing for plenty of yards would obviously work well with a Rams win. At the same time, plays that aren't correlated drive up the overall payout of the parlay. That is the case with backing Detroit wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown to score a touchdown. But even if he does, there is no reason why the visitors can't take care of business. Let's break down each of the 3 legs.
