Each week, I'll provide my favorite Sunday parlay and my favorite same-game parlay options for each game. Without further ado, here are this week's parlay picks.
- Leg 1: Seahawks +5.5
- Leg 2: Buccaneers-Panthers Under 39.5
- Leg 3: Jets-Broncos Under 38
Odds:'+595 on DraftKings Sportsbook
Full disclosure, this might be my least favorite betting board of the NFL season thus far. The Seahawks are my favorite side, especially if a +6 re-emerges. The Chargers’ offensive line is battered, making life easier for a Seattle defense that showed strides last week.
A divisional rock fight could be in store between the Bucs and Panthers. Tampa’s offense is still a mess due to shoddy offensive line play, while Carolina sports a pretty steady defense to go with an awful offense led by P.J. Walker, who isn’t a starter in this league.
Finally, have you seen Denver’s offense lately? Both the Jets’ and Broncos’ defenses rank in the top 12 in DVOA. Points will be at a premium.
Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans (-2.5) | Total 42
- Leg 1: Colts +2.5
- Leg 2: Michael Pittman over 5.5 receptions
Odds: +267 on DraftKings
The Colts closed as 4-point favorites at home three weeks ago against Tennessee. Now, Indy is getting nearly a field goal at Nissan Stadium? This line difference doesn’t really add up. Sure, the Titans got the better of Indianapolis in the first meeting and are coming off a bye. But Tennessee is still a rather mediocre team that ranks 19th and 17th in offensive and defensive DVOA, respectively. As for Indianapolis’ offense, the team finally realized that the offense is much better when Michael Pittman is heavily involved. While much of his receiving work is of the shorter variety, Pittman should get plenty of volume and beat this prop.
New York Giants at Jacksonville Jaguars (-3) | Total 43
- Leg 1: Jaguars -3
- Leg 2: Travis Etienne over 46.5 rushing + receiving yards
Odds: +274 on DraftKings
