Best Super Bowl Longshot Parlay (2022)
Hitting a massive payout on the biggest sporting event of the year almost feels like a gambling myth and too good to be true. It’s the stuff of legend only attainable for those random dudes you see on Twitter in the aftermath of their impossible parlay with seemingly incalculable odds somehow hitting for a massive payout. If only you had a peek of that betting slip before the game began, eh?
Well hey, maybe this is your chance! When it comes to crazy Super Bowl parlays, you’ve basically just got to decide the style of game you expect to see and then correlate as many legs of the parlay as you can stand until you’ve got life-changing money on the horizon for a meager upfront risk. Is it improbable to hit one of these suckers? Yes. Is it impossible? Well, if you think so, you’re reading the wrong article, pal!
Let’s talk longshots.

Leg #1: Cooper Kupp First Touchdown Scorer (+490)
To juice up this parlay, we’re starting with it out with a bang. I knew coming into this parlay build that I wanted Cooper Kupp to be the featured star. Understandably, FanDuel wouldn’t allow me to parlay a Kupp MVP wager with other Kupp-related props from the game. I had to look elsewhere for my white whale to lead off this parlay.
It came to down two options: Cooper Kupp 2+ Touchdowns (+230) or calling our shot on Kupp as the First Touchdown Scorer of the game (+490). The latter is the one that could make or break the parlay from the very beginning of the night. But I just hesitate to put my eggs into the basket of any player–even one as talented and integral to his team’s offense as Kupp–to have to score multiple touchdowns in a Super Bowl.
Kupp has had six multi-touchdown games to only four instances of being the Rams’ first touchdown scorer in a game. Still, I like the significant odds boost on the latter wager. Plus, I believe the Rams score first in the Super Bowl, so I’m not fretting about any Bengals sniping the opportunity away from Kupp. Deep shots to Van Jefferson or Odell Beckham are certainly possible, here, but Matthew Stafford has leaned on Kupp all year long. If we’re going to hit a monster parlay, he’s the guy I’m looking for to get it done.
Leg #2: Cooper Kupp 100+ Receiving Yards (-144)
On its own, correctly pegging Kupp as the first touchdown scorer would be a profitable wager at +490. But again, we’re thinking correlation, here. So let’s assume Kupp does start off the parlay with a bang. As the Rams’ number one offensive weapon, he probably would have racked up a decent amount of yards on the drive that got the team into scoring position in the first place. Though Kupp’s yardage total is set at 105.5, we’re going to play it slightly more conservatively on an alt line. Let’s just stick with 100+ receiving yards for Kupp.
Leg #3: Matthew Stafford Over 281.5 Passing Yards (-110)
In an ideal parlay, one leg leads naturally into the next. So we envisioned Kupp leading off the game with a bang. Then we realized that probably meant he was well on his way to his 14th game of the season with 100+ receiving yards. So now that Kupp has hit the century mark, we should probably assume a production day for his quarterback, right? Matthew Stafford has cleared the 300-yards passing mark in each of his last two playoff games. I don’t expect the Super Bowl to be a natural stopping point for his aerial assault–especially if we already know Kupp got to triple-digits! Give Stafford the Over on the 281.5 passing yards to keep the correlation strong for our longshot parlay.
Leg #4: Odell Beckham Jr. Over 62.5 Receiving Yards (-118)
So let’s keep it rolling, shall we? Now that Matthew Stafford has been confirmed for a solid passing day, we’ve got to determine who else is going to help him clear that yardage mark besides Kupp. Odell Beckham is a clear choice. He’s become increasingly important for the Rams offense as he’s grown more comfortable with his new teammates.
Throughout the playoffs, Odell has gotten more involved in the game plan with each week. He’s cleared this yardage total two games in a row, including a dominant performance in the NFC Championship where Beckham saw 11 targets, hauling in nine of them for 113 yards. Knowing how well he’s vibing with Stafford at the moment, Odell is an obvious selection for the final piece to the Rams portion of this parlay.
I mean, do you really think all of the above is going to happen and then the Rams aren’t going to cover win the game handily? Of course not! Correlation, baby!
Leg #6: Joe Burrow 200+ Passing Yards (-1100)
Okay, so this is our first inclusion of a Bengal in the parlay. This still technically fits into the theme of correlation, though, considering the likelihood that Burrow would need to throw with frequency in order to keep up with the massive numbers our Rams are throwing on the board. Though the necessity to throw doesn’t automatically equate to Burrow having success doing it, we went for a pretty tame alternate line here for the Cincinnati quarterback.
Burrow has had just four games out of 20 this season with fewer than 200 passing yards. Though this specific leg of the parlay is such a likely result at -1100, including it in the parlay actually increased our overall odds by +812. Feels like a no-brainer. See, parlays aren’t that difficult!
Combined Longshot Parlay Odds: +4264
