NFL Week 8: Let’s make some money parlay

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 12:54 a.m. ET. All games Sunday and ET unless noted.

Leg 1: Broncos vs. Jaguars UNDER 40.5 (-105) – 9:30 a.m. (ESPN+)

Both teams have struggled in recent weeks. The Jaguars are on a 3-game losing streak. The Broncos, in their 1st season with QB Russell Wilson, have been dreadful on offense. They have yet to score more than 23 points in a game and that came in a 32-23 loss Week 4 to the Las Vegas Raiders. That’s also the only game the Broncos gave up more than 19 points.

While Wilson is practicing in a limited role leading up to this game, it will not matter for the score. He has shown this season an inability to make things happen when not being controlled and coach Nathaniel Hackett, who reports say is already on the hot seat, cannot control him.

The key to this matchup and this bet is defense. Both teams have good defenses this season. The Broncos, despite not scoring more than 23 points have also only given up more than this once. The Jaguars defense, with rookie LBs Travon Walker and Devin Lloyd along with LB Josh Allen have also been solid in 2022.

With a shutout against the Colts and holding all other opponents to less than 30, the Jaguars defense will do wonders against a mediocre Broncos team. Especially in the Jaguars 2nd home of London. I like the UNDER 40.5 (-105) as I do not see either team getting to 20.

Leg 2: Cardinals at VIKINGS -3.5 (-112) – 1 p.m. (FOX)

The Cardinals come into this matchup after a 42-34 drubbing of the New Orleans Saints 2 Thursdays ago. While the team won the game, arguments between QB Kyler Murray and coach Kliff Kingsbury show the tension is still high in this relationship. I do not like what I am seeing, and I will use this to make my play here.

Coming off a bye week, the Minnesota Vikings are home. With Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen staffing the WR slots and Dalvin Cook at RB, the weapons for Minnesota are having a monster campaign. This has allowed the Vikings to get out to a 5-1 record and a 1st-place spot in the NFC North.

The Cardinals are a good 2nd-half team as they tend to start out at a snail’s pace. If they do the same this week, the deficit they face will be too much to overcome. This is what I think will happen, so I like the VIKINGS -3.5 (-112). If it is closer to game time and available, the 1st-half Vikings line is also a great wager.

Leg 3: 49ERS (-115) at Rams – 4:25 p.m. (FOX)

This division is always weird. The teams always have another team they constantly beat. In this case, the 49ers have beaten the Rams in 7 straight regular-season games.

Coming off a bye week, the Rams look to get on track as an early-season slump has left the team wanting. RB Cam Akers is being held out as the team looks to trade him, and RB Darrell Henderson will be forced to bring the run game to life in Sofi Stadium.

For the 49ers, the addition of RB Christian McCaffrey is a clear win-now move. The talent he brings in the run game and the receiving game is unparalleled in the NFL. His addition, along with the return of LT Trent Williams will make huge differences to the 49ers team.

For some reason, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan has the Rams coach Sean McVay’s number. I cannot understand it. But I will ride with it. I like the 49ERS (-115) here.

Parlay payout: Bet $10 to win $69.09 (profit $59.09).

Leg 4-*: Steelers at Eagles OVER 42.5 (-110) – 1 p.m. (CBS)

*-If you want to add a 4th play to this parlay:

The Eagles come into this matchup averaging 26.8 points per game while giving up an average of 17.5. The offense has been good this season and so has the defense.

With the Steelers and rookie QB Kenny Pickett coming to town, the Eagles defense has a chance to score in this game along with the offense scoring. The Steelers will once again be without LB T.J. Watt and this will allow Philadelphia to run the ball with RB Miles Sanders and QB Jalen Hurts, who leads the team with 6 rushing TDs this season.

While Pickett may have some issues, this means he will need to continue to throw when Pittsburgh gets behind. Garbage-time points are still points and the Steelers should get some garbage time in this game. This will allow the game to hit the OVER 42.5 (-110).

Parlay payout: Bet $10 to win $131.90 (profit $121.90).
