NFL Same Game Parlays & Picks: Steelers vs. Saints
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Pittsburgh Steelers at New Orleans Saints
Leg #1: Over 44.5 Points (-112)
For the first leg of my parlay, I'm looking at the game’s total. The Steelers are allowing 21.3 points per game, which ranks 12th-best in the league. That's good, but this defense has still allowed at least 27 points twice and at least 19 in all but one game.
The Saints are averaging 25.3 points per game and have scored at least 24 points in all but one game. That performance came against the Vikings' No. 1-ranked scoring defense.
And while I think the Saints will score plenty in this game, the Steelers will have an even easier time finding the end zone. Though the Steelers average just 22.8 points per game, the Saints allow 29.7, tied for the worst in the league.
Leg #2: Jaylen Warren Over 65.5 Rushing Yards (-110)
The Saints give up a lot of points and a lot of rushing yards. They rank 30th in rushing yards allowed per game (138), and they’re allowing 4.8 yards per carry.
Because of this, I'm expecting a huge game from Jaylen Warren. He rushed for at least 93 yards in three of his last four games, and he hasn’t rushed for fewer than 43 yards in a single contest. Warren is averaging 5.5 yards per carry, the third-best mark in the NFL, and he's averaged at least 4.6 yards per carry in four games this season.
Rico Dowdle's presence makes things a little stressful for Warren, but in his return from injury last week, Dowdle saw only seven carries compared to Warren's 14.
Leg #3: Tyler Shough 2+ Interceptions (+314)
For the final leg of my parlay, I'm backing the Steelers' defense to drive Tyler Shough crazy. Shough has thrown five interceptions this season, and he already has two multi-interception games.
The Steelers have already intercepted six passes this season, tying them for the fifth-most in the NFL. They have two multi-interception games, and they picked off Jalon Daniels twice last week.
The price for Shough to throw one interception is -145. That would still put this parlay near +400, but backing Shough to throw two interceptions, far from a longshot, more than doubles those odds.
Parlay Odds: +950
