NFL Week 6: 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 on Wednesday at 11:18 a.m. ET. All games Sunday and ET unless noted.

Leg 1: Vikings ML (-180) at Dolphins – 1 p.m.

Miami is where good teams go to lose. This is one of the reasons I am taking the ML instead of the -3.5 (-105) spread on the Vikings in this one.

Despite the issues teams have in Miami, QB Tua Tagovailoa is hurt and so is WR Tyreek Hill.

Tagovailoa, although practicing, is still not set to play. Backup QB Teddy Bridgewater, after his own concussion, might not be available either. This would leave rookie Skylar Thompson from Kansas State as the QB for the Dolphins. Hill was injured on the final play last week, so we’ll see early if he will be a full go. Either way, the Vikings defense is much improved this season and with CB Byron Jones missing for the Dolphins, Minnesota WRs Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen will have more room to operate for QB Kirk Cousins.

If this game gets out of hand, it will be in favor of Minnesota. But on the small chance it does not, I will start off this parlay with a moneyline BET ON MINNESOTA (-180).

Leg 2: Ravens at Giants OVER 44.5 (-115) – 1 p.m.

The Giants come into this game after beating the Packers 27-22 in London. Although RB Saquon Barkley was hurt, he returned to finish the game and will be out there this week. Scoring 27 points against the Green Bay defense is impressive; scoring 27 points against this Ravens defense is not as impressive.

The secondary of the Ravens has been as porous as a sponge. With CB Marcus Peters on IR with a wrist injury, it will only get worse. If Barkley can get behind the line of Baltimore, he will have a lot of open daylight in this game. And that’s something which could happen with the Giants offensive line starting to play up to their draft pedigree.

The Ravens will want to run the ball. They will also be successful. With TE Mark Andrews out there catching passes from QB Lamar Jackson, there is likely to be some scoring on both sides in this game.

I do not have a good read on the spread here of Ravens -5.5. But I love the Over. This number is a few points too low. So, I will take the value of the OVER 44.5 (-115).

Leg 3: Packers -4.5 (-112) vs. Jets – 1 p.m.

The Packers looked good in the 1st half last week against the Giants. They looked equally as bad in the 2nd half leading to a 27-22 loss in London. But this is not London. It is Green Bay. And this means a very solid home-field advantage.

Considered one of the best advantages in the NFL, the Packers in Green Bay average a 3.5-point advantage at home. This means Las Vegas thinks the Packers are only 1 point better than the Jets. I do not buy this. Especially with an angry Aaron Rodgers coming home after being forced to play overseas.

WR Allen Lazard has been getting involved while RBs Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon were also able to slice up the Giants defense in the 1st half and will continue to be strong this week.

While the Jets defense is getting better, the offense, despite putting up 40 to beat the Dolphins, is still a work in progress.

QB Zach Wilson has returned and has led the Jets to 2 straight wins. The streak stops at 2. Rodgers and the Packers will be all over the Jets from the opening gun. Getting this line under a TD at -4.5 (-112) is a gift. A gift I will take.

Parlay payout: Bet $10 to win $55.30 (profit $45.30).

Leg 4-*: Buffalo Bills -2.5 (-120) at Chiefs – 4:25 p.m.

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

This will be the 1st game in the career of Kansas City QB Patrick Mahomes in which he is a home underdog. It was bound to happen and after 41 games, it did.

The Chiefs did not look impressive on Monday night against the Raiders. They had to fight back from a 17-point deficit to win the game. The 30-29 victory came in large part to another inexplicable roughing the passer call which kept the Raiders from getting what should have been a turnover.

The Bills come into this game after dismantling the Pittsburgh Steelers 38-3 last Sunday. QB Josh Allen threw for 424 yards and WR Gabriel Davis had 2 TD catches to go along with the TD pass to Stefon Diggs.

Although the defense is a bit banged up, the offense for Buffalo more than makes up for the injuries. With 2 good receivers, the Bills will pressure the secondary of the Chiefs and although high scoring, the Bills will do enough to over this -2.5 (-120) spread.

Parlay payout: Bet $10 to win $99.00 (profit $89.00).

As the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers prepare for Super Bowl LV, it’s worth taking a trip back in time to remember the Baltimore Ravens’ former glory.

On this day 20 years ago, the Ravens played in and won their first Super Bowl in franchise history. Baltimore decimated the New York Giants, 34-7, at Super Bowl XXXV, bringing home the first of what is two Lombardi Trophies sitting at the Under Armour Performance Center.

It had been an interesting season for the Ravens, the second year under coach Brian Billick. Known as an offensive genius during his time as an offensive coordinator with the Minnesota Vikings, Billick didn’t have quite the same touch in Baltimore. The offense was downright bad at points, quite famously going several weeks without scoring a single touchdown. Ultimately, it was a stifling defense and the steady leg of kicker Matt Stover that ended up being Billick’s legacy with the Ravens.

Baltimore’s defense, led by linebacker Ray Lewis, had not just broken but shattered a previous defensive milestone along the way. The Ravens’ defense broke the 1986 Chicago Bears’ record for the fewest points allowed in a season, besting it by 1.4 points-per-game. In a league that often breaks records previously thought to be untouchable, this is a record that legitimately could be held by Baltimore forever.

Yet, the Ravens weren’t heavy favorites over the Giants entering Super Bowl XXXV. Despite its historic defense and an offense that surprisingly found its groove in the postseason, outscoring their three playoff opponents 61-16, Baltimore opened as one-point favorites against New York, according to ESPN.

Ultimately, you know the way the story finishes. The Ravens went on to bully the Giants in all three phases of the game. Baltimore’s defense was the first to pitch a shutout as New York’s only points came on a punt return for a touchdown. This ended up being one of the early milestones in a Hall of Fame career for Ray Lewis. And Baltimore, painted purple throughout the postseason, got its first Lombardi Trophy.
