NFL Week 3 Same Game Parlays & Picks: Patriots vs. Jaguars
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
New England Patriots @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Leg 1: Under 46 Points (-105)
Of all the parlays being suggested for Sunday, the Patriots-Jaguars contest is the toughest to figure out. Normally that is due to two teams being very evenly matched. Yet, that's not the case at all. We simply don't know what version of the Patriots will show up. Jacksonville doesn't make the equation any easier, scoring 34 points in Week 1 but only 13 points in Week 2.
Given the inconsistencies in each team’s offense, the safest bet appears to be the under. The Jaguars and Patriots are combining for 80 points through two games. The five-point cushion should be more than enough unless this contest turns into a complete shootout. Jacksonville and New England have allowed 46 points combined over four games.
Leg 2: Parker Washington 4+ Receptions (-383)
With all the murkiness surrounding this contest, we felt it best to play it safe for the last two legs. Parker Washington has been one of the most consistent receivers in the league, and the clear first option for Trevor Lawrence. Washington has seen 18 targets through two games and has brought in 12 passes. The young receiver finished with five receptions on six targets in the Jaguars’ first home game. Five or six receptions is kind of what we are expecting against New England, give or take an extra target or two. Washington has at least five receptions in each game.
Leg 3: Parker Washington 50+ Receiving Yards (-224)
The high rate of receptions has resulted in a boatload of yards. Washington has finished with 80+ yards in both games this season. Washington is averaging 15.3 yards per reception and is easily the most reliable receiving option for Jacksonville. The Penn State alum has caught a reception of at least 30 yards, if you'd like to pivot to that prop to increase the parlay. The 50+ receiving yards just feels more comfortable for our purposes.
Parlay Odds: +188
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.
