Colts vs. Texans: NFL Same Game Parlay Odds & Picks (Week 2)

The weather is cooling off, the days are getting shorter, and NFL fans around the country are getting ready to sit in front of their TV for 10 consecutive hours of football on Sunday. What better way to get in on the action than a few same game parlays? Here are my top same game parlay picks for Colts vs. Texans.

NFL Same Game Parlay Odds & Picks: Colts vs. Texans

Colts @ Texans

Leg 1: Colts ML (+100)
Leg 2: Anthony Richardson Anytime TD (+145)
Leg 3: Nico Collins 50+ Receiving Yards (-105)

While Indianapolis didn't pull off a win last week, they looked more impressive than many expected. They held a fourth-quarter lead over Jacksonville, who is expected to be a serious contender in the AFC this year. QB Anthony Richardson showed enough promise that I think they can win in Houston this week. The Texans were outmatched in Baltimore last week and are on track to be one of the worst teams in the NFL this year.

Richardson posted a big game both through the air and on the ground last week. He carried the ball 10 times for 40 yards and a TD, including four carries inside the opponents' 20-yard line. He should have more chances to get in the end zone this week. When Houston is on offense, I think Nico Collins can do some damage. Texans' QB CJ Stroud targeted his WRs frequently last week, leading to six catches for 80 yards for Collins, his No. 1 target. Indianapolis allowed a monster game to Jaguars WR Calvin Ridley last week, and I think Collins can exploit the Colts' defense similarly.

What is a Same Game Parlay?

Parlays have gained popularity because of the potential that they provide to the bettor to make large sums of money without having to provide the cash up-front that it would take to make the same amount if you were to bet each game individually. With the increase in popularity and money coming into the sportsbooks, FanDuel rolled out the Same Game Parlay, and other sportsbooks soon followed.

The same game parlay brings the elements of the parlay into one single game. They offer a ton of options within the same game to allow the bettor to be able to take these options and combine them within one game.
