NFL Week 9: 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: Chiefs team total OVER 28.5 (-110) vs. Titans – 8:20 p.m. (NBC)

Kansas City coach Andy Reid off a bye week is a sure thing. In his lengthy career, Reid-coached teams are 19-3 when coming off a bye week. This game against the Titans will be at home and another victory should be procured.

The 12.5-point line is a bit high though. For this reason, I will count on an offensive explosion from the Chiefs – having them score at least 4 TDs.

The Chiefs are coming off a 44-23 victory over the 49ers in their last game. The Titans, much like the 49ers, will want to be a run-first team. It did not work for the 49ers, and it will not work for the Titans.

The Titans will be forced to use QB Ryan Tannehill in the pass game. This could lead to 1 or more turnovers. Giving Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes a short field is not a good plan for any team.

Not only will the Chiefs win, but they will also score. I am counting on it for the first part of my parlay.

Leg 2: Dolphins -4.5 (-112) at Bears Sunday 1 p.m.

The NFL record for 160-yard receiving games in a season in 6. Tyrek Hill already has 4 through 8 games. Tua and Hill have a connection this season and with Jaylen Waddle being no second fiddle, the Dolphins offense is clicking early in the season.

After going down 21-0 to the Lions on Sunday the Dolphins mounted a comeback and won the game 31-27. I do not think Chicago will get to 21 in this game. Therefor a major comeback will not be needed. Instead, Miami will use the points to pull away from the Bears who, after trading Roquan Smith and Robert Quinn, are far less ferocious on defense.

The Dolphins are not up to the level of the Bills or Chiefs in the AFC. They do not have to be to win this game by 5. If they can contain Justin Fields in the run game, this will be an easy cover.

Leg 3: Bengals vs. Panthers OVER 42-5 (-112)

The Bengals come into this game after a 9^th straight loss to the Cleveland Browns. A lot of this had to do with their inability to beat the Browns but more of it had to do with only having 5 days to get a game plan together without stud WR Ja’Marr Chase.

With another week to plan and going against a weak Panthers team, the Bengals will be able to get Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd more involved. They will also be able to get Joe Mixon more involved after he had only 5 rushes on Monday against the Browns.

The Panthers have been playing much better since Mat Rhule was let go. Steve Wilks has this team playing hard. Even without Christian McCaffrey, the Panthers managed to put up 34 in a 37-34 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Had their kicker not missed an extra point at the end of regulation and an FG in overtime, the Panthers would have won the game.

I do not care who wins or loses this game. I just want points. The Panthers were able to put up 34 against the Falcons 1 week after the Bengals put up 35 on the same team. Both offenses will score. Neither defense will get many stops. Look for a lot of points in this one. 42.5 is far too low. I would take this number up to 45.

Parlay payout: Bet $10 to win $68.30 (profit $58.30).

Leg4: * Falcons +3.5 (-117) vs. Chargers Sunday 1 p.m.

The Falcons do one thing very well. They run the ball. The Chargers defense in 31^st in the league in rush defense allowing 5.7 yards/carry.

Justn Herbert and Austin Ekeler will be able to move the ball up and down the field on the Falcons mediocre defense. But the Chargers defense will be sliced up by the Falcons run game of Tyler Algiers and QB Marcus Mariota.

The Falcons will shorten the game by having long extended drives. The Over/Under in this game is 49. I do not see it getting this high. The total should be lower. After covering the spread in the first 5 games of the season, Atlanta has failed to do so in the last 2 games. They will get back on track this week and cover the +3.5 (117) here.
