NFL Week 3 Same Game Parlays & Picks
(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
Seattle Seahawks @ Washington Commanders
Leg 1: Seattle Seahawks Moneyline (-355)
This selection will be our first correlated parlay, focusing on the Seattle Seahawks in what appears to be a fantastic spot against an injured and struggling Washington team. Without Jayden Daniels at the helm, the Commanders are forced to rely on veteran quarterback Marcus Mariota.
Mariota is a fine backup quarterback. However, taking on the defending champs, who are already 2-0, is quite the task. Washington's defense seems to be giving away points to opponents, allowing over 30 points per game. Seattle scored 31 points against Arizona on the road. As the road team, Seattle clearly won’t be affected.
Leg 2: Jaxon Smith-Njigba Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+100)
And who is the dominant force in the Seattle offense, you ask? Well, none other than Jaxon Smith-Njigba. He is coming off a three-touchdown performance against the Cardinals. While this is usually a spot you want to fade a player after finding the end zone so frequently, the young receiver is just too good and too important to this offense. Smith-Njigba has four touchdowns on the season, and Washington has allowed seven touchdowns in only two games. There will certainly be an opportunity for him to score against the Commanders.
Leg 3: Jaxon Smith-Njigba 60+ Receiving Yards (-364)
Jaxon Smith-Njigba has accumulated over 275 yards through two contests, while averaging 16.2 yards per reception. The Seahawks wide receiver saw at least 11 targets in two consecutive games and brought in 17 of his 22 targets. Smith-Njigba finished with no fewer than 122 yards over the first two weeks and will face a Washington team that has allowed over 480 receiving yards this season. Sixty yards should be a walk in the park for Smith-Njigba.
Parlay Odds: +164
Carolina Panthers @ Cleveland Browns
Leg 1: Carolina Panthers Moneyline (-148)
We have been rolling with the Bryce Young/Tetairoa McMillan stack for two straight weeks, and it's been paying off handsomely. This week, the Panthers are once again on the road in a highly favorable matchup. The Browns immediately turned things around after a horrific start to the season by defeating the Buccaneers in their last contest.
This Carolina team is far beyond Tampa Bay’s offensive capabilities, and the Browns could struggle immediately. Carolina has forced eight turnovers and recorded five sacks through two games. Between the superior offense and Carolina's ability to get to the quarterback and force turnovers, it looks as if the Panthers will come away with their second road win.
Leg 2: Bryce Young 200+ Passing Yards (-191)
Bryce Young has taken a tremendous step forward this season and continues to pile up the passing yards. Young is averaging over 300 yards per game, while throwing for six touchdowns. The young quarterback has completed at least 62% of his passes in each contest and has not thrown for fewer than 287 yards in any game. Young appears locked in and is more than capable of putting up 200+ passing yards on Sunday.
Leg 3: Tetairoa McMillan 40+ Receiving Yards (-302)
Two weeks in a row, we have taken the young receiver to eclipse 40+ yards, and each time we have walked away successful. No need to switch it up until something drastically changes. Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker are the primary targets for Bryce Young and should each continue to post strong receiving yardage totals. Coker is currently dealing with an ankle injury. If he cannot take the field, you can comfortably bump McMillan's yards up to 60+.
Parlay Odds: +176
New York Jets @ Detroit Lions
Leg 1: Detroit Lions Moneyline (-305)
The New York Jets put on two impressive performances to start the season. However, things took a turn for the worse late in their matchup against Green Bay on Sunday. The Jets gave up a 10-point lead late in the fourth quarter, resulting in an overtime loss. That type of demoralizing loss can certainly have lingering effects. The Lions' previous contest also went into overtime. Yet, Detroit was able to stave off New Orleans in the long run.
Detroit is putting up over 30 points each contest, and their offense is definitely the catalyst for our confidence against New York. The Jets are depending on Geno Smith to provide success this season, and history shows that's probably not going to come to fruition. The Jets are holding opponents to 15 points per game. However, they have not faced anything like Detroit’s offense up until this point.
Leg 2: Amon-Ra St. Brown 7+ Receptions (-149)
Amon-Ra St. Brown has been absolutely feasting this season, and we feel he continues to see a massive target share on Sundays. St. Brown was thrown to on 27 passes over two contests and finished with at least nine receptions in each game. The Lions wide receiver has also caught four touchdowns this season. Jared Goff is consistently looking for St. Brown, and seven receptions seem like quite a bargain given the recent performances.
Leg 3: Jameson Williams 40+ Receiving Yards (-233)
To close out this parlay, we are going back to the well on Jameson Williams’ receiving yards. The young receiver is coming off a solid outing against the Saints and will no doubt look to keep the good fortune going. Williams saw nine targets and hauled in four receptions for 45 yards. Williams has started off the season way behind schedule. Things should start to pick up from here on out. The high target share is absolutely a step in the right direction. Williams will have to do a better job of catching passes thrown in his direction, though.
Parlay Odds: +196
Kansas City Chiefs @ Miami Dolphins
Leg 1: Kansas City Chiefs -10 (-115)
The Chiefs have reverted to a predominantly run-heavy offense, largely due to Kenneth Walker III’s highly productive performances. The Chiefs still look to be figuring things out in the passing game. Yet, they have shown no signs of struggling to run the ball. The Chiefs’ offense scored 30+ points in each contest. In Miami, things are entirely different. The Dolphins have yet to crack 13 points in a game, while conceding over 60 points. Miami is severely outgunned in this contest and has lost its first two games by at least 14 points.
Leg 2: Kenneth Walker III 80+ Rushing Yards (-135)
There's not too much to go over on this leg of the parlay. Kenneth Walker III is averaging 145 yards per game this season and has carried the ball at least 23 times in each of the previous two games. It may be time to start sprinkling a few bucks on Walker for either MVP or Offensive Player of the Year. The rushing numbers are fantastic to begin the season, and Walker should crush the 80+ yards threshold in this contest. Miami is allowing over 112 rushing yards per game this season.
Leg 3: Emmett Johnson 15+ Rushing Yards (-354)
Now we get to the interesting part of this parlay. While Kenneth Walker III is providing the kind of gaudy numbers that immediately stand out, Emmett Johnson has been quietly clearing the alt line for rushing yards in two consecutive contests. Johnson saw eight carries in Kansas City’s last game. In a contest where the team is favored by two scores, we envision Johnson getting a similar workload. Johnson has rushed for at least 15 yards in the first two games - despite only having two carries in the first contest.
Parlay Odds: +178
Cincinnati Bengals @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Leg 1: Cincinnati Bengals Moneyline (-185)
The Steelers look absolutely abysmal this season, and there's no kind way to put it. Pittsburgh has scored a total of 22 points in two games and ranks in the bottom four in passing yards per game (175). Pittsburgh is coming off a dreadful loss to New England, in which the team scored only three points. The Bengals are a high-powered offense averaging 25 points per game. Cincinnati just held the Texans to six points. This could get ugly very quickly.
Leg 2: Chase Brown Anytime Touchdown Scorer (-110)
This return is very surprising, given that Chase Brown has only one touchdown this season. Truth be told, we were certainly looking for a better payout on this leg. Regardless, this looks like too high-probability a play to pass up. The Steelers allowed one rushing touchdown to the Patriots on Sunday, and with Chase Brown, we get the added bonus of being utilized in the passing game as well. Brown should finish this contest with his second touchdown of the year.
Leg 3: Tee Higgins 40+ Receiving Yards (-253)
Tee Higgins has been the most reliable receiving option for the Bengals, and Pittsburgh’s defense may not have an answer for the young receiver. Ja’Marr Chase will garner most of the attention, as usual. This will once again free up Higgins to wreck the middle of the field. Higgins has produced over 150 yards this season, with at least 59 yards in each game played.
Parlay Odds: +242
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
Tennessee Titans @ New York Giants
Leg 1: Under 39 Points (-113)
Our next selection yields one of the highest returns among all the parlays for Sunday’s daytime slate. Jameis Winston was thrust into the Giants’ offense after Jaxson Dart left the game with a knee injury. Since then, Dart has been ruled out for the remainder of the regular season. This leaves Jameis Winston as the starting quarterback for the foreseeable future. That doesn't bode well for many over bets, given Winston produced zero touchdowns and only six points in his first outing.
Tennessee only adds to the scoring deficiencies in this contest. The Titans are one of the worst offensive units in the league this season. Tennessee hasn't even accumulated 500 yards of total offense over two games. The Titans are averaging 15 points through two contests and have scored only three touchdowns. Thirty-nine points is always a total that you have to be concerned about when taking an under. For this contest, there are very few concerns. If you wanted to bring the total above 40, you'd still get a solid return.
Leg 2: Jameis Winston 1+ Interceptions (-185)
When Jameis Winston was called upon to take over at the quarterback position on Monday, my immediate thought was interception. Unfortunately, that was not an option at the time. More than likely due to the probability of success. There is no hiding from turnovers in this contest, and we feel it's imperative to get in before the line moves closer to -200. Winston has thrown an interception in eight out of his last 10 games and hasn't been practicing with the first unit for most of the preseason. The veteran quarterback has thrown the ball to the opposing team in two out of three games as a New York Giant.
Leg 3: Darnell Mooney 15+ Receiving Yards (-141)
The quarterback situation leaves a lot to be desired. That said, Darnell Mooney seemed to be one of Jameis Winston's more reliable targets. Mooney finished the contest on Monday with two receptions for 40 yards. The Giants wide receiver also caught two passes for 27 yards in the first game with Jaxson Dart. The total is very low at 15, and Mooney could cash this leg of the parlay on a single reception.
Parlay Odds: +370
Indianapolis Colts @ Houston Texans
Leg 1: Over 42.5 Points (-112)
Tough to gauge this contest given the inconsistencies both teams have shown over the first two weeks. The Colts showed tremendous resolve in a back-and-forth fight against Kansas City on the road this past Monday. Indianapolis took that game into overtime. Yet, unfortunately, they weren't able to come away with a win.
The Colts put up 30 points on Monday and have scored 53 points this season. With Jonathan Taylor in the mix, Indianapolis is certainly a favorite to take the over when the total is low. As for Houston, the Texans are coming off a pitiful home showing. Houston scored six points, and the team had over 314 yards passing. We doubt the Texans will score six points again with that type of passing volume.
Leg 2: Texans Team Total 17+ Points (-310)
The Texans have to bounce back at home after that underwhelming performance against Cincinnati. The expectations for Houston are very high this season. Yet, the team is 0-2 and couldn't find the end zone on the road in their last game. We strongly feel they will muster up at least 17 points in this contest. Given that Texas simply cannot afford to lose the first three games and still expects to make the playoffs, the Moneyline for Houston is also very much in play.
Leg 3: Ka’imi Fairbairn 2+ Field Goals (-161)
The odds on this leg should tell you all you need to know. Ka'imi Fairbairn has made two of his three field goals this season, and the sportsbooks have still juiced his return to over -160. The Texans will most certainly rely on Fairbairn in what is projected to be a very closely contested game between two struggling offenses. Nico Collins is a lethal red-zone threat. With him out of the lineup, that should mean a few more field-goal opportunities.
Parlay Odds: +190
Arizona Cardinals @ San Francisco 49ers
Leg 1: San Francisco 49ers Moneyline (-440)
This will easily be our most straightforward parlay of all the selections. San Francisco has now dominated on two continents and will look to make it three consecutive wins on Sunday. After upsetting the Chargers in their first contest, the Cardinals looked exceptionally lethargic against Drew Lock and the Seattle Seahawks. Arizona allowed over 380 yards to Seattle in a 24-point loss. Lock finished the contest against Arizona with a quarterback rating of 139.1. If Brock Purdy gets anywhere close to that kind of production and efficiency, we may regret not taking the points as well.
Leg 2: Brock Purdy 2+ Touchdowns (-158)
Brock Purdy has been razor-sharp to start the season, and there's nothing about the Arizona defense to suggest it can stop the young quarterback from throwing two touchdowns. Purdy has completed over 80% of his attempts through two games and has thrown five touchdowns. Purdy successfully hit an open play in the end zone on three occasions on Sunday against the Dolphins. The San Francisco quarterback has thrown at least two touchdowns in five out of seven home games.
Leg 3: Brock Purdy 20+ Passing Completions (-156)
Brock Purdy to complete 20+ passes at home is becoming an automatic bet. The 49ers quarterback has thrown at least 20 passes in six out of his last seven games. In the one game Purdy failed to reach 20 completions, he finished with 19. He has connected on 20+ passes in six out of the last 10 games, and in both games this season.
Parlay Odds: +156
Las Vegas Raiders @ New Orleans Saints
Leg 1: Las Vegas Raiders +3 (+102)
On to what is most likely going to be one of the more underrated contests of the day, the Raiders make their way to New Orleans to take on the Saints. The Raiders are shocking the AFC West with two wins in their first two games. Preseason projections had Las Vegas winning about six games. Having a brother who is a die-hard Raider fan means that, unfortunately, I'm quite in tune with the team. I kept putting money on the team all offseason to exceed that total. Sportsbooks were putting too much stock in Kirk Cousins, and not enough in the numerous additions to the defense. And here we are...
Las Vegas is fresh off a divisional battle against the Chargers where the Raiders looked dominant from the very start. Los Angeles scored 14 points and threw for only 183 yards. The Raiders have held their opponents to 14 points or fewer in both games this season, which has been a key to their success. Las Vegas has reached the quarterback for a loss of yards on eight plays in only two games. We will take Raiders +3.
Leg 2: Devaughn Vele 25+ Receiving Yards (-499)
Devaughn Vele may not be putting up the eye-popping numbers as teammate Chris Olave. However, Vele continues to cover his yardage threshold, and we do not really need anything that substantial. Vele is averaging 66.5 receiving yards per game and has produced over 60 yards in each contest. The Saints receiver has been targeted on 15 plays, with at least seven targets in each game. Vele is averaging 11.1 yards per reception and has at least five catches in each contest.
Leg 3: Juwan Johnson 25+ Receiving Yards (-219)
As is the case with Devaughn Vele, Juwan Johnson is also a reliable source of lower receiving yard totals. Johnson has caught seven passes for 120 yards and is averaging 17 yards per reception. Johnson is gaining a huge chunk of yards and, based on what we have seen, would only need two receptions to clear 25+ yards. Johnson has recorded at least 54 yards in each game this season,
Parlay Odds: +214
Minnesota Vikings @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Leg 1: Minnesota Vikings Moneyline (-120)
Not sure what is going on in Tampa right now. It's not good, though. Baker Mayfield had an opportunity to crush the team that felt he wasn't worth keeping around, and responded with 182 yards, one touchdown, one interception and 13 incompletions. Not what you would expect by any means. This week, the Buccaneers take on the Vikings, and while Tampa Bay will not have to worry about weather-related stoppages, this matchup isn't the best.
The Vikings have allowed a slim 15.1 points per game through two contests. Minnesota has sacked the quarterback on eight plays this season - tied for the most in the NFL. The Vikings are also turning over opponents quite frequently. Minnesota has forced four turnovers in both games. This could be a terrible spot for a struggling Buccaneers team. We will back the Vikings in this one.
Leg 2: Baker Mayfield & Kyler Murray Under 429 Combined Passing Yards (-113)
The total of 429 yards is scary, given that one player hasn't shown the ability to overcome a middle-of-the-road defense, while the other is returning from a concussion in Week 1. Mayfield hasn't thrown for more than 216 yards in any game to date, and we haven't seen enough to know what to expect from Kyler Murray. The total does cause concern. Having said that, Mayfield hasn't looked right at all in two games and doesn't have the offensive weapons he did with Mike Evans on the team.
Leg 3: Baker Mayfield Over 27.5 Passing Attempts (-331)
I don't think we are being unfair or cold in saying that Tampa Bay doesn't have a run game that is helping the team much. This puts extra pressure on Baker Mayfield to produce and increases the number of passes he must throw. Mayfield has attempted at least 28 passes in each game this season, and if Tampa Bay goes down early, we expect nothing but passing for the rest of the contest. He finished with 28+ attempts in seven out of the last 10 games.
Parlay Odds: +280
Baltimore Ravens @ Dallas Cowboys
Leg 1: Under 54 Points (-110)
This should easily be the most entertaining game of the slate. There are a few signs that point to a contest where both teams could very well finish with 30 points. Having said that, it's exactly the type of scenario that leaves bettors fuming by the fourth quarter. High projected totals do not always result in tremendous production. It's just based on what the two teams have been able to do offensively so far.
Dallas has been the more consistent of the two teams in terms of scoring. Yet, the Ravens haven't allowed more than 24 points in any contest, and Baltimore is also coming off a 17-point home performance against the Saints. The total seems anchored by Baltimore scoring over 40 in their best game and Dallas putting up 37 in their last contest against Washington. This selection will no doubt be the sweatiest of all our legs on the day. We are sticking to our gut, though, and taking the under on 54 points.
Leg 2: Javonte Williams 2+ Receptions (-500)
Very straightforward selection for this receiving prop on Javonte Williams. The Cowboys running back has caught eight passes on nine targets through two games. Williams has been a constant source of reliability for Dak Prescott when opponents get too deep in the pocket, and will likely continue to thrive in this role. Williams has proven to be highly capable in the passing game. Two receptions should be easy work.
Leg 3: Derrick Henry Anytime Touchdown Scorer (-260)
Hard to believe the return on Derrick Henry scoring a touchdown is already juiced up to -275. Henry has scored four touchdowns in two games - including three touchdowns in the Ravens’ first game. Henry is an elite-level threat at the goal line. With the spread pushing 55 points, it's fair to assume Henry will contribute at least one touchdown in this contest. The Cowboys have allowed at least two touchdowns in four out of five home games.
Parlay Odds: +218
