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.

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Wednesday at 1:08 p.m. ET. All games Sunday and ET unless noted.
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.

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).
