Same cities, same night: 3 parlays to sweeten the rare World Series-NFL crossover between Houston and Philadelphia

The Astros and Phillies will play a World Series game at the same time the Eagles are playing the Texans.

On Thursday night, one of the truly rare things in sports will occur when Game 5 of the World Series takes place at the same time as Thursday Night Football — and Philadelphia and Houston teams play in both games.

It’ll be just the seventh time ever that a World Series and NFL game takes place on the same day involving the same two metro areas, according to ELIAS.

That also means it’s time for bettors to get crazy with parlays they never thought possible. Below, I put together my favorite low-risk, medium-risk and high-risk two-leg parlays from tonight’s action between the Astros and Phillies, and Eagles and Texans.
