NFL Week 3 Same Game Parlays & Picks: Chargers vs. Bills
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Los Angeles Chargers @ Buffalo Bills
Leg 1: Over 51+ Points (-115)
The first selection on the day could very well be one of the least difficult to figure out. Buffalo has been masterful over two games. Whereas Los Angeles hasn't seemed to grasp the fact that the season has already started. The Chargers have opened the 2026-2027 campaign by losing to two teams that were projected to win a combined 10 games. Buffalo is playing well and gets the comfort of playing at home. Los Angeles could be in for a very long day.
We are siding with the over mostly because of Buffalo. The Bills have put up 36+ points in two consecutive contests. The Chargers only have to cover 20 points on Sunday. Yet, the way Buffalo has been scoring, we may only need 15 points from the Chargers.
Leg 2: Justin Herbert Under 21.5 Passing Completions (-135)
Mike McDaniel was brought in to bolster the Chargers’ offense and take it to heights far exceeding those of the last few seasons. So far, that hasn't been the case whatsoever. Justin Herbert has only completed 32 passes in two games and is connecting on fewer than 60% of his attempts. Herbert has yet to throw the ball on more than 27 plays through two games. Buffalo's defense has been allowing opponents to have success in the passing game. Herbert simply hasn't shown he can throw for more than 20 completions to date.
Leg 3: Dalton Kincaid 25+ Receiving Yards (-620)
If you drafted Dalton Kincaid in your fantasy leagues, you are well aware of the season the tight end is having. Kincaid has finished with at least 95 yards and five receptions in each contest. Kincaid has seen 12 targets over two games and is clearly Josh Allen’s favorite target early on. The amount of yards we are shaving off is borderline obscene given the production. That said, we are just looking for some cushion, given the other two legs of the parlay. Feel free to push the yards up to 50 or more if you’re inclined.
Parlay Odds: +212
NFL Week 3 Same Game Parlay Strategy
By Week 3, early-season trends are starting to draw attention, but a two-game sample can still be misleading. Before building an NFL same game parlay, look beyond a player's recent box scores. Consider how they earned their opportunities, what could change in this matchup and whether the available line reflects their current role.
Focus on Opportunity, Not Just Results
A receiver can post a big Week 2 total on only a handful of targets, while another can draw steady volume without a touchdown. Check routes, targets, carries and playing time to see which performances have a better chance of repeating. Those details can help you identify a prop worth building around.
Check How Each Leg Affects the Others
Imagine the conditions needed for your first pick to win, then test every additional leg against them. If you expect an underdog to trail and throw often, its quarterback's passing attempts and a receiver's catches might fit together. A rushing over for that same team may need a different kind of game. Related outcomes can strengthen your reasoning, though they do not automatically make the parlay a good price.
Compare the Payout to the Risk
Once you have a short list of legs, review the combined odds before placing the wager. Same game parlay pricing accounts for relationships between selections, so a logical combination is not necessarily a bargain. If an extra leg adds little value to the payout, leave it off and keep the ticket centered on your strongest Week 3 read.
