All 6 Wild Card Games offer rematches from earlier this season. Some in recent weeks. But this is different. This is win or go home.

Dallas will need to finally beat QB Tom Brady, who is 7-0 in his career vs. the Cowboys, when it visits Tampa Bay Monday night. There are 2 division rivalry matchups Sunday with Buffalo hosting Miami and Baltimore visiting Cincinnati. Below are the best plays for putting together a winning parlay.

NFL Wild Card Weekend: 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 Thursday at 9 a.m. ET. All games ET.

Leg 1: Chargers at JAGUARS (+115) – Saturday, 8:15 p.m. (NBC)

The coaching job done by Los Angeles’ Brandon Staley last Sunday was incredibly bad.

With nothing to play for, he left his starters in for almost the entire game and the Chargers still lost at the Broncos 31-28. This gameplan may have cost the team WR Mike Williams, who was carted off the field with back spasms.

While L.A. was playing Denver in a late Sunday game, Jacksonville was at home relaxing after beating Tennessee 20-16 on the road Saturday to win the AFC South. QB Trevor Lawrence has found himself this season under coach Doug Pederson and the Jaguars have followed suit.

RB Travis Etienne should have a massive role in this game. The Jaguars averaged 124.5 yards on the ground this season, ranking 14th in the NFL. Meanwhile, the Chargers defense allowed 145.8 rushing yards per game, 5th worst in the league. This will be a matchup of strength on weakness and as much as I love Chargers QB Justin Herbert, he cannot play defense.

After winning the 1st meeting at Los Angeles 38-10 in Week 3, Jacksonville will win this one, too. JAGUARS (+115) will be a great way to kick off this parlay.

Leg 2: Dolphins at BILLS -13 (-108) – Sunday, 1 p.m. (CBS)

Miami will be without injured QB Tua Tagovailoa and backup Teddy Bridgewater likely will not play, leaving the Dolphins starting rookie Skylar Thompson.

Buffalo is on a mission, which has just been amplified by the injury to S Damar Hamlin. His inspirational story only adds to the context of the Bills wanting to make a run to the Super Bowl.

While the run game for the Bills has mostly been through QB Josh Allen, RBs Devin Singletary and James Cook have come on in recent weeks, including a combined 205 rushing yards in a 35-13 win at the Chicago Bears in Week 16. The run game will continue to make its mark as the Bills will attempt to keep the Dolphins offense off the field.

In a must-win Week 18 game, Miami’s offense only mustered 9 points. Fortunately for the Dolphins, it was enough in an 11-6 home victory vs. the New York Jets, but it won’t be enough against the Bills this Sunday. Expect the Bills defense to limit the Dolphins to minimal scoring chances.

There is often 1 blowout in the Wild Card Weekend. This matchup fits that bill.

Leg 3: GIANTS +3 (-107) at Vikings – Sunday 4:30 p.m. (FOX)

The Vikings pulled out a Christmas miracle on Christmas Eve against the Giants, kicking a 61-yard FG as time expired for a 27-24 victory – though New York covered as 4.5-point road underdogs. This was the story of how Minnesota managed to win the NFC North and get the No. 3 seed: Winning close games. The Vikings are 11-1 in one-score games this season. This will be another close one.

[betwidget_betmgm]

The Giants sat everyone last Sunday while the Vikings played their starters for a bit as they hoped to get the 2 seed — which was extinguished with the 49ers in the process of routing the Cardinals. After realizing it was unable to, Minnesota rested players in the second half.

New York QB Daniel Jones and RB Saquon Barkley have had strong seasons. After suffering 2 lost seasons due to injury, Barkley finished 4th in the league with 1,312 rushing yards. His performance Sunday will go a long way in the Giants gaining the upset victory.

Behind Barkley, the Giants ranked 4th in rushing yards per game (148.2), while the Vikings defense was 20th, allowing 123.1 per game. Another big problem for the Vikes is their pass defense, which finished 2nd worst in the league after yielding 265.6 YPG. While Barkley will thrive, Jones will also be able to use his mishmash of receivers to shred the Vikings secondary.

Again, this should be a close one, but NEW YORK +3 (-107) will prevail.

Parlay payout: Bet $10 to profit $70.11 (ticket pays $80.11).

Leg 4-*: Cowboys at BUCCANEERS (+120) – Monday 8:15 p.m. ET (ESPN, ABC)

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

The Dallas defense ranks 12the in the NFL in total yards allowed per game (330.2). While it ranks 8th against the pass (200.9 YPG), it’s only 22nd vs. the run (129.3 YPG). This is where “Playoff Lenny” — Bucs RB Leonard Fournette — will thrive.

Dallas and its defense are built for turf. It is a speed team which does not fare well on natural grass. In 5 games on grass this season, Dallas’ only victory was a Thursday night tilt at Tennessee, which was without starting QB Ryan Tannehill and star RB Derrick Henry.

Brady does not want to end Tampa Bay’s season and possibly his career with a loss to a Cowboys team he has never lost to. The Bucs are underdogs but they shouldn’t be.

I’ll take the value here and wager the BUCCANEERS (+120) get it done one last time for Brady.

Parlay payout: Bet $10 to profit $166.23 (ticket pays $176.23).

NFL Week 14 parlay: Let’s make some money

Analyzing NFL Week 14 betting odds and lines, with predictions and picks for the best parlay bet to make.

[mm-video type=video id=01gks9v5zehtbxprctag playlist_id=none player_id=01evcg1x9ny8tb834m image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01gks9v5zehtbxprctag/01gks9v5zehtbxprctag-ae70f83408a6aad09342227a7e89703b.jpg]

There are some big lines this week in the NFL, like Dallas -16.5 against the Texans and Buffalo -9.5 against the Jets. Will any of these be in our parlay? Let’s find out. After looking at Tipico Sportsbook’s NFL Week 14 odds, here is a “Let’s make some money” NFL parlay bet to cash in on among SportbookWire’s NFL expert picks and predictions.

With 5 weeks left in the season, this is the final week for bye weeks. There are 6 teams off this week, but there are still plenty of plays I like. Let us look at some of those numbers and some of those lines we can take advantage of to make some money for the holidays.

NFL Week 14: 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 Thursday at 12:15 a.m. ET. All games Sunday and ET unless noted.

Leg 1: Vikings at Lions OVER 52.5 (-108) – 1 p.m. (FOX)

The Vikings have averaged 24.1 points per game this season while the Lions have averaged 26.3. Both teams have also played games close with all the Viking’s wins being within 1 score and the Lions rarely being able to pull away other then Sunday’s 40-14 victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

This will be a fun game and both teams will use the pass game to get the ball down the field.

The Lion’s defense was starting to improve with CB Jeff Okudah finally getting up to speed. But his injury has set the team back again and Vikings WRs Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen will be able to take advantage of a weak Detroit secondary.

Both teams have terrible defenses that will allow plenty of points in the Motor City. The 52.5 is a substantial number. But not big enough to make me shy away from it to start off this parlay.

Leg 2: Chiefs at BRONCOS +9.5 (-110) – 4:05 p.m. (CBS)

Even though Russell Wilson and the entire Broncos offense is trash, the defense is far from it.

Even without Bradley Chubb, Denver has one of the top defenses in the NFL. Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson went out in the 1st quarter last week, but Denver still held the Ravens to 10 points and forced backup Tyler Hundley into multiple turnovers.

Last week’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals was the 1st career loss in Novermber or December for Patrick Mahomes. While he may win, he does not cover as at 17-18-2 he is less then 50% in covering in those months. This divisional game in Denver will be another game in which he and the Chiefs do not cover.

I thought about taking the Under here as this is going to be an ugly game. But I decided to go with the +9.5 with Denver instead. It will be low scoring. The Chiefs will win, but it will be close. Do not let the records fool you. Denver has a great defense, and the Chiefs will not be able to run away from the underperforming Broncos in Mile High. Take the Broncos +9.5 (-110) as the second part of our parlay.

Leg 3: Ravens at Steelers UNDER 37 (-110) – 1 p.m. (CBS)

AFC North battles, especially between these 2 teams, rarely have an offensive outburst.

The Steelers, despite playing a bad Atlanta Falcons defense, only managed 19 points Sunday. The Ravens, after losing Jackson in the 1st quarter, only managed to score 10 points with Hundley behind center. Jackson will not be back this week and another start by Hundley will be in the cards.

Although T.J. Watt missed last week he will be back for Pittsburgh and his presence will be key to the Steelers being able to get pressure on Hundley.

Hundley can run. But he will be unable to do so for much success against the Steelers defense and Kenny Pickett will also find success difficult against the Ravens defense in this game.

The highest scoring players in this game could easily be the kickers for both teams in Chris Boswell and Justin Tucker. Do not expect a high-scoring affair here and if you are counting on any Steelers or Ravens players to get you into your fantasy playoffs, you might just be sitting out the playoffs this season. Sorry.

Parlay payout: Bet $10 to win $70.50 (profit $60.50).

Leg 4-*: Browns at Bengals OVER 47 (-111) – 1 p.m. (CBS)

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

The Bengals -6 is a bit inflated. Joe Burrow has bever beaten the Browns (0-4) in his career. Despite this, the public is heavily on the Bengals bandwagon and the books know this and use it to inflate the number. The line should be closer to Bengals -4.

The Bengals are good though. And they will score. After returning last week to beat former team Houston 27-14, Deshaun Watson will be able to relax and play free in this game. The Browns put up 27 points Sunday without scoring an offensive TD. If they can actually score on offense in this game, they could get to 30.

The Bengals and Burrow are coming off a 27-24 win over Kansas City, handing Mahomes his 1st career loss in December. The Bengals are closing in on the Ravens in the division and with Jackson out, this is their time to make up the distance.

Speaking of returns, Ja’Marr Chase returned from a fractured hip against the Chiefs and scored a TD. He will get another 1 in this game and the Bengals and Burrow will finally vanquish the Cleveland Browns in a high-scoring affair in the Queen City.

Parlay payout: Bet $10 to win $134.00 (profit $124.00).

NFL Week 10: 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 Thursday at 8:25 a.m. ET. All games Sunday and ET unless noted.

Leg 1: Browns at DOLPHINS -3.5 (-115) – 1 p.m. (CBS)

The Dolphins have been playing extremely well since QB Tua Tagovailoa returned from his concussion. They’ve won the last 2 games on the road, 31-27 against the Detroit Lions and 35-32 against the Chicago Bears. While these teams are not great, neither are the Browns. And with Miami returning home for this game, they will be ready to show why the Bills need to be worried about them in the AFC East Division.

WR Tyreek Hill is having an MVP-level season with 4 games of 150 or more receiving yards. The Dolphins have found something potentially special with Hill and Tagovailoa and Jaylen Waddle staffing the WR 2. They will use this talent and outright speed to throw all over the Browns secondary, which is still banged up. Even after the bye week.

The Browns are 1-dimensional at this point. It is the run game of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt which leads the way. I do not think it will be enough in this game. So, I will take the DOLPHINS -3.5 (-115) as the 1st part of my parlay.

Leg 2: Colts at Raiders OVER 42.5 (-110) – 4:05 p.m. (CBS)

What are the Colts thinking? This is the question of the week. And no one has an answer.

The Colts hiring Jeff Saturday to be coach has shown they are folding the tents on the season and packing it in. This is wonderful for their opponents, who are still playing for something. In the case of Las Vegas coach Josh McDaniels, it might be his own job. Can you imagine McDaniels losing this one to the team he spurned? I think he would get fired if he did. But the Raiders’ moneyline of -6 is too high. So, I will make a play on the total.

The Raiders can score and with a new play caller in Indianapolis, the Colts are going to look to have some fun. Defense will not be optional in this game, but it will not be a major factor either.

I expect some scoring in this matchup. So, getting the OVER at only 42.5 (-110) is a suitable number and one I am willing to bet on as the 2nd leg of my parlay.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Leg 3: Cardinals at Rams OVER 41.5 (-105) – 4:25 p.m. (FOX)

Rams CB Jalen Ramsey and company have not been the same elite defense as it has been in recent years. With WR DeAndre Hopkins back for QB Kyler Murray, the Cardinals will put up points in this game. The Cardinals defense is equally as bad … especially with FS Budda Baker injured.

Rams QB Matthew Stafford has had a miserable season after winning the Super Bowl. This Cardinals defense could be at least a 1-week cure for the QB and an offense which needs to get going.

Arizona RB James Conner returned last week against the Seattle Seahawks. After another week to get healthy, Conner and RB Eno Benjamin will be able to run on the Rams defense and help the Cardinals score.

Arizona is coming off a 31-21 loss to Seattle and it will be able to score equally as well on L.A. Now, we just need the Rams to hold up their end of the bargain. I am betting they will.

Parlay payout: Bet $10 to win $69.68 (profit $59.68).

Leg 4-*: Jaguars at CHIEFS -9.5 (-110) – 1 p.m. (CBS)

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

The Chiefs are coming off a hard-fought win last week against the Tennessee Titans. A game which saw them claw back from a 17-9 deficit to send the game to overtime before managing a 20-17 victory by QB Patrick Mahomes. This game should not be as close.

Jacksonville was able to make a comeback of its own in Week 9, rallying from a 17-point deficit to beat Las Vegas 27-20. But that was against the Raiders, a team that has now blown three 17-point leads this season. Kansas City will take a similar lead. But it will not give it up. I will fly with the CHIEFS -9.5 (-110) as a play here if you want to add a 4th leg.

Parlay payout: Bet $10 to win $133.08 (profit $123.08).

*-If you want to substitute one of the above, here’s another option:

VIKINGS +3.5 (-110) at Bills – 1 p.m. (FOX)

This is only a play if QB Josh Allen is confirmed out for the Bills.

This line started at Bills -6.5 and has fallen due to the uncertainty around Allen’s shoulder. If he is confirmed out, this will fall even further. I do not see backup QB Case Keenum leading the Bills to a victory … even at home. Getting the Vikings at a plus-number is a great wager.

Whether you had the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or the New England Patriots in your parlay last week, you lost. It has been a rough season in terms of betting. Under are hitting at a historic rate and underdogs are winning far more than normal. This means we need to take some chances to win. So let us take some chances then and see what falls out the other side.

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).

Try out the USA TODAY Parlay Calculator.

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).

Let’s have some fun. Parlays are fun. They are not meant to be always winners. But when they are, the payout is great. And so is the feeling.

After looking at Tipico Sportsbook‘s NFL Week 7 odds, here is a “Let’s make some money” NFL parlay bet to cash in on among SportbookWire’s NFL expert picks and predictions.

Last week was a tragedy in many ways. Huge favorites lost outright. Of those favorites who did win, few covered. It was a wonderful day for the books.

Now it is our turn to make back some money. There aren’t many great games out there this week. Sure, Kansas City vs. San Francisco has the name value. But did you see the 49ers last week? This is a difficult week to find games. But we are going to do it.

NFL Week 7: 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 Thursday at 12:38 a.m. ET. All games Sunday and ET unless noted.

Leg 1: FALCONS +6.5 (-110) at Bengals – 1 p.m.

Atlanta is coming off a 28-14 victory over a beaten-up 49ers team. The only team more beat up than the 49ers might be the Saints, who were beaten 30-26 by the Bengals.

The Bengals defense, which helped lead them to the Super Bowl last season, has not played the same in 2022. The Falcons have been better than many expected with a 3-3 record, which has them tied atop the NFC South with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

While the Bengals are still the better team and have better weapons, the Falcons cannot be counted out. TE Kyle Pitts finally had his first TD catch of the season against the 49ers and QB Marcus Mariota looks to be having a rejuvenation not seen since, well, QB Geno Smith in Seattle.

The Falcons are 6-0 against the spread (ATS) this season. While this streak will end, I do not think it will be this week in Cincinnati. Take the underdog FALCONS to cover the +6.5 (-110) here.

Leg 2: GIANTS (+135) at Jaguars – 1 p.m.

No one expected the Giants to be 5-1 at this point in the season. After the Jaguars posted consecutive wins over the Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles Chargers, no one expected them to lose 3 straight afterward. Yet, here we are.

Jacksonville should not be favored in this game. Especially by more than a FG. The Giants, with QB Daniel Jones maturing and RB Saquon Barkley back in form, have provided excitement to the season.

Despite WRs Kadarius Toney and Sterling Shepard missing most of the season so far, New York has pieced together enough receivers to keep opposing defenses honest. The offensive line, once greatly maligned, is also becoming a strong suit in front of Jones.

For Jacksonville, QB Trevor Lawrence is better, but he still has hiccups which need to be sorted out. RB James Robinson has played solid, but fellow RB Travis Etienne has not emerged as hoped coming into the season.

This is going to be a close game, but with the GIANTS being the better team and being underdogs, I will take a shot on the ML of +135.

Leg 3: CHIEFS -2.5 (-125) at 49ers – 4:25 p.m.

Both teams are coming off loses. The Chiefs lost a battle of the best teams in the AFC with a 24-20 home loss to the Buffalo Bills. On the other side, playing their 2nd straight game on the East Coast, a battered 49ers team lost 28-14 to the Atlanta Falcons.

Kansas City QB Patrick Mahomes threw an unusual interception in the final minute to clinch it for the Bills. It was his 2nd INT of the game, something which is not likely to be repeated in this game. Despite these mistakes, Mahomes still had the Chiefs in a place to win the game, finishing with 338 passing yards.

San Francisco QB Jimmy Garoppolo has been doing excellent work since coming in after the season-ending injury to QB Trey Lance. But without LT Trent Williams (out with an injury after Week 3), opposing defenses are getting to the statuesque QB and making it harder for him to get the ball out. The Chiefs will use the pass rush to disrupt the flow of what coach Kyle Shanahan wants to do. Chiefs coach Andy Reid is an expert in offense and he’ll make sure the loss to the Bills does not turn into a Chiefs losing streak.

The Chiefs are elite. The 49ers have a lot of questions surrounding them. This line should be closer to 7 than it is to 3. I will take the value even if the public is coming in hard on the 49ers.

Leg 4-*: LIONS +7.5 (-120) at Cowboys – 1 p.m.

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

Why are the Cowboys favored by more than 7 points over anyone? Even with QB Dak Prescott back, we do not know what to expect from him. Coming back from the same type of injury, QB Russell Wilson struggled to finish 2021 with Seattle and we have seen what he has done this far in 2022 with Denver.

Grip is important to a QB and with the thumb injury suffered by Prescott, this might be an issue against a pass rush led by Lions rookie DE Aidan Hutchinson.

With the Lions coming off their bye week, RB D’Andre Swift and WR Amon-Ra St. Brown have had time to get healthy. The offense in Detroit is good, despite the 29-0 loss to the New England Patriots before the bye. The Cowboys are coming off a hard-fought loss to the Philadelphia Eagles 26-17 Sunday night and although they are hoping to rebound here, I do not see it happening by more than a TD. TAKE DETROIT +7.5 (-120).

Parlay payout: Bet $10 to win $148.05 (profit $138.05).

If you want to substitute one of the above, here’s another option:

Optional: Browns at Ravens OVER 45.5 (-110) – 1 p.m.

Both the Browns and Ravens come into this divisional matchup off losses. The Ravens lost 24-20 to the Giants and the Browns were dismantled 38-15 by the Patriots. This game is going to go a long way to whether either of these teams can make a serious playoff push. With the Browns being 2-4 and the Ravens being 3-3, neither can afford a loss. Especially in the division which could come down to tie breakers at the end of the season.

The Ravens have the worst pass defense in the NFL. Cleveland QB Jacoby Brissett will be able to find WR Amari Cooper and TE David Njoku for plenty of explosive plays. This will open the field for RBs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt in the run game.

For the Ravens, we know what QB Lamar Jackson can do with his legs. Although RB J.K. Dobbins is still on a snap count, RB Kenyan Drake has filled in nicely, including a TD run against the Giants last week. WR Rashod Bateman looks to get back for this game and the team signed speedy veteran WR DeSean Jackson to build up the receivers group. With TEs Mark Andrews and rookie Isaiah Likely also involved, the Browns will have a lot of pieces to cover while also worrying about Jackson taking off at any moment.

I do not have a handle on a side in this game. I lean Ravens, but not strong enough to take it. However, I love the Over. Even in a slog of a game last week, the Ravens got to 44. The Browns gave up 38 to the Patriots and could do it again here. This game is going to go up. So, get it early. Even if it does go up, I would take the OVER up to 47.5.

NFL Week 3 parlay: Let’s make some money

Assessing NFL Week 3 betting odds and lines, with predictions and picks for the best parlay bet to make.

[mm-video type=video id=01gdjyw7xe9bdnyjp4jj playlist_id=none player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01gdjyw7xe9bdnyjp4jj/01gdjyw7xe9bdnyjp4jj-df880005667eac76676103712aa7dadf.jpg]

It is time to make some money. After looking at Tipico Sportsbook‘s NFL Week 3 odds, here is a “Let’s make some money” NFL parlay bet to cash in on among SportbookWire’s NFL expert picks and predictions.

There are some good lines this week. There are also some strange lines you might consider. Many of these lines have been affected by injuries. Some not in ways you might expect.

The 49ers at Broncos game had a look ahead line of Broncos -2.5. With QB Trey Lance injured, the line should have moved even further toward the Broncos. Instead, it moved the other direction and QB Jimmy Garoppolo has made the 49ers a -1.5 favorite.

Make sure you are trying to get the best of the number with any of these bets. It will help as you try to make some money with me.

Leg 1: Texans at Bears UNDER 40.5 (-112), 1 p.m.

Neither of these teams are good.

After getting out to a 20-point lead in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts, the Houston Texans gave it all back and settled for a tie. While the Chicago Bears beat the 49ers in Week 1, much of this was due to the inclement weather and less on the skill of the Bears team.

In Week 2, the Texans went on the road and lost to a Denver Broncos team with no offense to speak. The Bears went on the road and once again were embarrassed by the Green Bay Packers 27-10 Sunday night.

This game will be a run first, defensive battle with few TDs and more FGs and punts than anything else.

With 2 woeful offenses, I will take the UNDER in this one.

Leg 2: Eagles at Commanders OVER 46.5 (-115), 1 p.m.

The Philadelphia Eagles have averaged 31 points a game in the first 2 weeks. Jalen Hurts has shown to be a good QB so far and his ability to run extends plays which look to be dead. His connection with WR A.J. Brown and the Eagles ability to run the ball makes this a dynamic offense. With DE Chase Young still out for the Washington Commanders, running the ball will not be an issue again this week.

Even in a loss last week, QB Carson Wentz looked solid against the Lions with 3 TDs to 1 INT. He became the first QB in history to have 300 passing yards and 3 or more TDs in their first 2 starts for a new team. Going against his former team, he has all the motivation to make it 3 in a row.

I like the Eagles to win. But not enough to make it a parlay pick. But I love the OVER.

[the_huddle]

Leg 3: Colts +6.5 (-110) vs. Chiefs, 1 p.m.

Indy WR Michael Pittman should be back for this game after missing Week 2 at Jacksonville.

With Pittman and rookie WR Alec Pierce both out, the Colts were forced to feed RB Jonathan Taylor. Normally this would be great. But with Jacksonville able to stack the box against him, with no threat of the pass, it did not work out. Even the best RB in the game can be stopped when everyone is expecting it and geared up to stop it.

After a 5-TD performance in Week 1, Kansas City QB Patrick Mahomes came back to earth in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Colts defense behind LB Shaquille Leonard will be formidable in their home opener and they will pressure Mahomes to get the ball out quickly or use the run game more often.

With both teams wanting to run the ball, I see a low-scoring game. This means a game less conducive to large spreads. So, I will lean with the UNDERDOG.

Parlay payout: Bet $10 to win $67.56 (profit $) 57.56.

Leg 4-*: Buccaneers -1.5 (-112) vs. Packers, 4:25 p.m.

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

The Packers looked good in Week 2 against the Bears. QB Aaron Rodgers was back to his MVP level and RB Aaron Jones had 170 total yards and 2 TDs.

Bucs WR Mike Evans is suspended for this game, which will make it more important RB Leonard Fournette gets going and into the end zone. WR Chris Godwin being out also hurts but WR Julio Jones showed in Week 1 that he still has something left in the tank. It should be just enough to get the victory. With the line being Buccaneers -1.5, a victory is all we need.

One fun fact, Rodgers has never won a game in Florida.

Parlay payout (4 team): Bet $10 to win $127.88 (profit $117.88).

NFL Week 2 parlay: Let’s make some money

Assessing NFL Week 2 betting odds and lines, with predictions and picks for the best parlay bet to make.

Parlays are fun. Although harder to manage, the payout is better than straight bets. This makes them a bit more challenging but also more exciting when they hit.

After looking at Tipico Sportsbook‘s NFL Week 2 odds, here is a “Let’s make some money” NFL parlay bet to cash in on among SportbookWire’s NFL expert picks and predictions.

Last week was a bit challenging with upsets abound. Not only did many of the underdog’s cover. Far too many of them hit outright. This was a momentous week for the books.

In Week 2, we are expecting things return to normal a bit. We can only hope the teams which flopped last week, like San Francisco and Denver, show up in their home openers.

While the 49ers debacle can be blamed on horrible weather in Chicago, less excuses can be made for a team like Denver, which just did not show up in Seattle.

Let us now move forward with another parlay to win some money for you and me.

NFL Week 2 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 Wednesday at 3:28 p.m. ET. All games Sunday and ET unless noted.

Leg 1: Lions -1.5 (-112) vs. Commanders – 1 p.m.

The Detroit Lions came out strong against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1. They scored a TD on their opening drive before falling behind for most of the game. Despite this, they were still able to put up 35 points in a 3-point loss.

Lions RB D’Andre Swift shelled out with 15 carries for 144 yards and 1 TD. He also had 3 catches for 31 yards.

The offensive line of Detroit was able to control the elite pass rush of Philadelphia and keep QB Jared Goff upright. With DE Chase Young (ACL) still out for Washington, it will have an easier time this week. This will allow for more explosive plays from the Lions offense.

Washington managed to pull out a victory in Week 1 against QB Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Washington QB Carson Wentz did Carson Wentz things, showing a bit of the good and the bad with 313 passing yards and 4 TDs to go along with 2 INTs. Wentz has not thrown for more than 7 INTs in any of the last 4 seasons, so 2 in a game looks to be from a bit of nerves. Going on the road to Detroit, which had its first sellout in more than 5 years in Week 1, could be daunting. For the sake of this bet, let us hope it is.

Leg 2: Patriots at Steelers UNDER 40.5 (-112) – 1 p.m.

After an ugly showing against the Miami Dolphins, the Patriots must now travel to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers in a matchup of former Super Bowl contending teams.

With both teams going through transition, this game could be ugly. But you can make money on ugly games.

New England QB Mac Jones (back spasms) is questionable. If he is unable to go QB, Bailey Zappe will get the nod for the Patriots.

For the Steelers, we already know LB T.J. Watt (pec) will be missing. Although X-rays came back negative, RB Najee Harris (foot) could also miss this game. If he does, the Steelers will be down their biggest playmaker. Not good for a team which only score 23 points without him in Week 1.

This game will be a defensive battle and both teams will try to shorten the game. It will also be the first meeting between the teams since 1998 where either Tom Brady or Ben Roethlisberger are not on the field. While we have memories of the good times, expect some tough times and low scoring in this one.

[the_huddle]

Leg 3: Bengals -7.5 (-109) at Cowboys – 4:25 p.m. ET

The Bengals lost their opening game against AFC North rival Pittsburgh in Week 1. The Cowboys lost much more when QB Dak Prescott went out with a broken thumb that will leave him sidelined 4 to 8 weeks. This means Cooper Rush will be taking over as the Dallas QB.

With RB Ezekiel Elliott on the decline and WR CeeDee Lamb hampered (hamstring), points could be hard to come by for Dallas.

Cincinnati might not have WR Tee Higgins (concussion), but it still has WRs Ja’Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd. Not to mention RB Joe Mixon in the backfield alongside QB Joe Burrow.

Burrow played terrible in Week 1. With 4 INTs and 2 fumbles, it was amazing the Bengals had a chance to win with a final-second extra point. That shows the talent this team has. Against a banged-up Cowboys team, I like the points. I would have preferred -7, but the books know this. That is exactly why they made it -7.5. No push here. We either win or lose with this 1.

Parlay payout: Bet $10 to win $68.58 (profit $58.58).

*-If you want to substitute one of the above, here’s another option:

OPTIONAL: Packers -9.5 (-120) vs. Bears – 8:20 p.m. ET

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers did not look good in Week 1 against the Vikings. It could have looked much different had WR Christian Watson held on to a 75-yard TD pass, which was perfectly placed to him early in the game.

After only scoring 7 points, the Packers will be out for blood. Unfortunately for the Bears, they are the sacrificial lamb who comes to town.

The Packers have owned this rivalry of late. Just ask Rodgers. Despite the Bears coming off an unexpected win against the 49ers, the Packers are still the class in this game.

In games Rodgers has played in his career at home, the Packers are a full 4 points better against the spread than other home teams. They have a true home-field advantage. They will show it here with a blowout win over NFC North rival Chicago.

If you want to substitute out one of the above games, this is a great one to add in.

NFL Week 1 parlay: Let’s make some money

Assessing NFL Week 1 betting odds and lines, with predictions and picks for the best parlay bet to make.

Wagering on sports is something a lot of us enjoy. But what to place those bets on can be a challenging task to figure out.

Here, I am going to provide you with some plays each week to build a “Let’s make some money” parlay and hopefully help you increase your bankroll. As with all bets, winning is not guaranteed. It is also recommended not to put all these plays in one bet.

Sure, the payoff is higher, but so are the risks of a fluky play ruining an otherwise winning bet. With the help of Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the NFL Week 1 odds, odds, I give you some of my favorite 3 or 4 plays to build a parlay among our expert NFL picks and predictions.

NFL Week 1 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 6:53 a.m. ET. All games Sunday and ET unless noted.

Leg 1: Ravens -6.5 (-116) at Jets – 1 p.m.

The Ravens are fully healthy. For the first time in over 8 months, QB Lamar Jackson will be on the field for a regular-season game. The Jets on the other hand will be starting backup QB Joe Flacco against his former team.

With the Jets ailing and relying on a rookie RB in Breece Hall to be their offense, points are not looking plentiful for the home team. The defense, whose best player is also a rookie in CB Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner, is also not likely to put up much of a fight in Week 1.

Although RB Gus Edwards (ACL injury), is still missing for the Ravens, RB J.K. Dobbins is back – though listed as questionable in the final injury report – and ready to run after recovering from his ACL injury.

As Dobbins fights his way through the Jets defense, Jackson will be connecting with the dual TE threat of Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely as the Ravens try to get the pass game going before a game against the Miami Dolphins in Week 2.

My feeling is this game ends with a double-digit Ravens victory, so I’ll take BALTIMORE -6.5 (-112) to start off any parlay.

Leg 2: Texans +7.5 (-120) vs. Colts – 1 p.m.

OK, the Colts are the better team here. They have the 2021 leading rusher in RB Jonathan Taylor, a stud WR in Michael Pittman and a solid QB in newly acquired Matt Ryan.

This type of offense could lead to the game getting out of hand. Despite this, I like the TEXANS +7.5 (-120) to cover this line at home.

Indianapolis tends to start the season slow. The Colts are 0-9 in their last 9 season openers, last winning in 2013. This includes a mark of 0-4 straight up (SU) and 0-3-1 against the spread (ATS) under coach Frank Reich.

The Colts’ game plan is usually centered around Taylor’s ground attack, which milks the clock and shortens the game.

On Houston’s side, new coach Lovie Smith will also want to run the ball, hoping to avoid any mistakes by QB Davis Mills. Training camp and preseason super star RB Dameon Pierce will get a significant amount of work.

With both teams attempting to run the ball and escape with a victory, points will not be free flowing. With points hard to come by, a large spread is not conducive to being covered by the favored Colts.

*-If you do not care to trust Houston to cover, I would consider the Under 45.5 (-105).

[the_huddle]

Leg 3: Packers +0.5 (-116) at Vikings – 4:25 p.m.

Games between these 2 division rivals are always close – not withstanding Green Bay’s 37-10 victory in Week 17 to finish a late season collapse by the Vikings. There also tends to be a bit of scoring in these matchups.

Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers is the best player on either team. Although WR Davante Adams in now with the Raiders and WR Allen Lazard is out with an injury, I still trust Rodgers to find a way.

In his last 4 games against the Vikings, Rodgers has a 13-0 TD to interception ratio. With the Packers’ offensive line back healthy, Rodgers will not only have time to throw, but he will also have time to get the ball to RBs Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon.

With Adams gone, there is a true chance Jones, not Lazard replaces him as WR 1 for Green Bay. With Jones managing more of the receiving work, Dillon will be the beast at the goal line. The Packers score. They also use clock. This will lessen the possessions for the Vikes.

Minnesota WRs Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen are a great 1-2 punch, but behind CB Jaire Alexander, Green Bay has one of the top secondaries in the NFL. Factor in the pass rush of DL Rashan Gary, Green Bay will do enough to come out with the victory, and with the line only being +0.5, all we really need is a victory.

Parlay payout: Bet $10 to win $63.31 (profit $53.31).

Try out the USA TODAY Parlay Calculator.

*-If you want to substitute one of the above, here’s another option:

Optional: Buccaneers at Cowboys OVER 50.5 (-105) – 8:20 p.m.

Dallas is great at home. In 2021, the Cowboys averaged 10 more points at home than on the road.

But this team is different. WR Amari Cooper (now with Cleveland) and DE Randy Gregory (now with Denver) are gone. OL Tyron Smith is out for most of the season with a knee fracture. The offensive line, once talented, is now a shell. OG Zack Martin is still the anchor, but he is not anchoring much right now.

For once, Dallas, the No. 2 scoring offense in 2021, will be forced to count on its defense. With stud LB Micah Parsons roaming the field, this could be a nice problem. But not against QB Tom Brady and Tampa Bay.

Brady is back and ready to go. Along with WRs Mike Evans, Chris Godwin (though questionable) and even Julio Jones, the offense will be loaded once again. Add in WR Russell Gage (also questionable) and the Buccaneers have a deep and talented group of WR ready to take Dallas by storm.

The point is, there should be a good amount of scoring from both sides. Both teams could get to the 30’s and Tampa Bay could go higher than that.

Adding OVER 50.5 (-105) to make this a 4-TEAM PARLAY: A $10 bet profits $113.46.
