      NFL Same Game Parlays & Picks: Week 9

      (Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)

      Dallas Cowboys at Indianapolis Colts 

        The Jonathan Taylor trade rumors are heating up. The Colts are increasingly likely to move the running back by next week's trade deadline. As a result, Indianapolis could limit Taylor's workload this weekend and give backup Seth McGowan more looks. If so, his rushing yards line is too low. 

        McGowan has been fairly productive in his complementary role, averaging 4.4 yards per carry this season. He’s also rushed for at least 26 yards in four of his last five games. When McGowan had 11 carries two weeks ago, he ran for 46 yards. If we expect more attempts, the yards should come in this matchup. Dallas is allowing a league-high 152.8 rushing yards per game and five yards per carry (second-most). 

        On the Colts, Keenan Allen remains the favorite target. The veteran caught all seven of his targets for 67 yards last week. He's now averaging 57.6 yards and 7.8 targets per game over his last five contests. Allen also has 40+ yards in four of the last five games. The Cowboys allow the seventh-most receiving yards per game to opposing wide receivers, which sets Allen up well.

        As for the Dallas offense, Javonte Williams should be productive on the ground. The Colts allow the sixth-most rushing yards per game and the third-most yards per carry. Williams is averaging 66 rushing yards per game, but he's been held to fewer than 60 yards in five out of eight games. Despite the subpar results, this matchup and potentially favorable game flow should get him to 60+ yards. 

        Parlay Odds: +415

        New York Jets at Kansas City Chiefs

          Despite last week's loss, Patrick Mahomes is coming off one of his best statistical games of the season. The Chiefs' quarterback threw for 321 yards with a 73% completion rate against Denver. Even so, you should fade his passing-yardage prop this week. 

          The Jets are allowing just 208.4 passing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks, the sixth-lowest mark in the league. They're also allowing the sixth-fewest completions per contest. Kansas City is a two-score home favorite and should win comfortably, which can lead to a more run-heavy offense. That game flow and the matchup should limit Mahomes' passing yards. Plus, he's been held to fewer than 250 yards in four out of seven games. 

          Meanwhile, Kenneth Walker III could be in line for a big game. If the Chiefs build a double-digit second-half lead, they’ll lean on their stud running back, especially in this matchup. New York allows 104.8 rushing yards per game to opposing running backs, the 10th-most in the league. The defense is also giving up the second-most carries per game to rushers. 

          Walker has been limited in the past two games, with 69 and 36 rushing yards. However, he also faced tough run defenses in Seattle and Denver. Before those matchups, Walker averaged 133 rushing yards over the first five games, including 100+ yards four times. He's due to return to that production at home against a shaky Jets run defense. 

          On the New York side, tight end Mason Taylor is a pass-catcher to target. The Chiefs allow tight ends the second-most targets and fourth-most receptions per game. They're also giving up 65.6 receiving yards per game to the position, the eighth-highest mark in the league. 

          Taylor is averaging 34.5 receiving yards per game over the past four weeks since returning from injury. His weekly totals in this stretch are 24, 33, 62 and 19. He's also been out-snapping and outperforming Kenyon Sadiq lately. Bank on Taylor eclipsing 25 yards in this matchup, given his recent production. 

          Parlay Odds: +420

          Detroit Lions at Miami Dolphins 

              We've targeted tight ends against Detroit all season, and we won’t stop this week. The Lions have the worst defense in the NFL against tight ends. They're allowing league-highs in targets (11.4), receptions (8.7) and receiving yards (97.7) per game to the position. 

              Greg Dulcich's stats don't jump off the page, but he should be the next tight end to produce in this matchup. The Miami tight end has been more involved in the offense lately. He has four or more receptions and 35+ yards in four of the last five games. He’s also recorded games of 43, 86 and 55 yards in this stretch. Malik Willis is looking Dulcich's way enough for him to keep it going against the Lions. 

              Meanwhile, the other tight end in this game also has a favorable matchup. Miami is allowing the fifth-most receiving yards and receptions per game to opposing tight ends. Sam LaPorta has been quiet over the past two games, but he can wake back up against this defense. The Lions tight end recently went for 80+ yards in back-to-back games, and he's averaging 52.4 yards per game this season. 

              Let's go back to the Dolphins for our final pick. Malik Washington remains their top pass-catcher, leading the team in receptions, targets and yards. The 40+ yardage mark is a low bar for Washington, considering he's cleared it in six out of seven games. He's also averaging 47 yards per game. Washington now faces a Lions secondary that allows the fourth-most receiving yards per game to wideouts. 

              Parlay Odds: +490

              Cleveland Browns at New Orleans Saints

                Shedeur Sanders gets the start for Cleveland this week with Deshaun Watson in concussion protocol. It'll be interesting to see how Sanders fares after showing flashes last season. Let's at least bank on him using his legs a bit in this start. 

                Sanders showed off his dual-threat ability last season. He ran for 148 yards over his final five starts, averaging 29.6 yards per game. Sanders also had 20+ yards in each of those five games. He has a strong arm, but he isn't shy about scrambling when the coverage breaks down. The Saints haven't faced many running quarterbacks this season, though they allowed Lamar Jackson 34 rushing yards earlier in the year. 

                Quinshon Judkins should also have success on the ground in this matchup. New Orleans allows the fourth-most rushing yards per game this season, and the sixth-most carries per game to opposing running backs. That bodes well for Judkins, whose production has been very inconsistent. In tight games, though, the Browns usually give him more carries. He had 96 yards two weeks ago against another shaky run defense in Tennessee. 

                Let's keep the rushing yards theme going with a Saints running back. Kendre Miller should get lead-back work this week with Travis Etienne Jr. still sidelined. Miller struggled against Pittsburgh last time out, but he went off for 70 yards on 20 carries against the Giants two games ago. Cleveland, meanwhile, allows the fourth-most rushing yards per game to opposing running backs. 

                Parlay Odds: +465

                New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles 

                  Philadelphia is making a quarterback change this week, with Joe Milton replacing Tanner McKee under center. The third-year quarterback hasn't been with the Eagles long, but the offense is hoping for a spark. Let's count on Milton to use his athleticism and running ability in this start.

                  Milton's dual-threat skill set showed up in his final college season, when he rushed for 299 yards with Tennessee. In a small NFL sample size, he's also been a capable runner. Milton ran for 43 yards in a relief appearance for Dallas last year and 16 yards, including a rushing touchdown, for New England two seasons ago. It's not much, but it shows he's willing to use his legs. The Giants, meanwhile, are allowing the fourth-most rushing yards per game to quarterbacks. 

                  On the New York side, look for Malik Nabers to stay hot. He now has 100+ receiving yards in four straight games coming into this week. He can easily make it five in a row against Philadelphia’s defense. The Eagles allow the third-most receiving yards per game to opposing wide receivers. We just need 70+ yards from Nabers for this parlay, but another 100-yard performance could be coming. 

                  The Eagles have also struggled to contain running backs. They're allowing the third-most rushing yards per game to opposing backs this season. Philadelphia is also giving up a league-high 27 rushing attempts per game. Plus, the Eagles have allowed 60+ yards to a running back in every week. 

                  Devin Singletary is set to lead New York's backfield this week with Cam Skattebo doubtful. Though Singletary only has 80 total rushing yards this season, this matchup speaks for itself. If he gets double-digit carries, then 50+ yards is very attainable. It would be a season-high, but at least Singletary had 41 yards in the Giants' last game. 

                  Parlay Odds: +420

                  Los Angeles Rams at Washington Commanders

                    Matthew Stafford's passing yards have been way down lately. The Rams quarterback has thrown for just 157, 195 and 222 yards over the past three games. However, this week's matchup should be much more productive. Plus, it's a good time to buy low on Stafford's passing yards prop. 

                    Washington allows the sixth-most passing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks. The Commanders also give up the fourth-most completions per game. Meanwhile, Stafford had 300+ passing yards in four straight games recently. Expect some positive regression for the veteran this week. 

                    As for the other quarterback in this game, let's target his rushing yards. Admittedly, Jayden Daniels hasn't been running much recently. He had just 23 rushing yards last week and 10 the game prior. Before that, though, the Commanders' dual-threat signal-caller exploded for 103 rushing yards in his return from injury. 

                    Daniels' running ability remains, and this matchup could make him more active on the ground. Los Angeles allows the third-most rushing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks. In one notable matchup against a running quarterback, Josh Allen ran for 121 yards against the Rams earlier this season. 

                    The Rams have also struggled to cover running backs in the passing game. They're allowing the fifth-most receiving yards and fourth-most receptions per game to running backs. That brings us to Rachaad White, who's getting most of the snaps in the Washington backfield with Jacory Croskey-Merritt sidelined. White had 30 receiving yards two games ago and 40 receiving yards in a game earlier this season. 

                    Parlay Odds: +440

                    Denver Broncos at Carolina Panthers

                      Jonah Coleman has taken over the Denver backfield. He put up 104 total yards last week while leading the Broncos' running backs in snap share (66%) and touches (15). Coleman also had 54 rushing yards and 69 total yards in his return from injury the week prior. He appears to be the top back with J.K. Dobbins underperforming and RJ Harvey out. 

                      Let's hope Denver keeps feeding Coleman, especially in this week's matchup. The Panthers are allowing the third-most rushing yards per game and the fifth-most yards per carry. If Coleman keeps getting lead-back carries, 50+ yards is very attainable. He's averaging 4.5 yards per carry this season with notably more explosion than Dobbins. 

                      Meanwhile, Chuba Hubbard should be productive as a pass-catcher. The Broncos allow 48.4 receiving yards per game to running backs, the second-most in the league. Denver also allows the sixth-most targets per game to the position. Hubbard has at least 25 receiving yards in four out of seven games this season, including 38 and 27 yards in the past two weeks. He also has 11 total receptions in the past two games. 

                      Denver has also struggled to cover tight ends, allowing the seventh-most receptions and receiving yards per game to the position. Carolina often uses 2-TE sets, with both Tommy Tremble and Darren Waller logging plenty of snaps. Waller is the better pass-catcher; we’re leaning toward him for his prop. The veteran has 20+ receiving yards in five out of seven games this season, and he can do it again in this matchup. 

                      Parlay Odds: +525

                      Houston Texans at Los Angeles Chargers

                          This has been a season to forget for Justin Herbert. Beyond the Chargers' 0-7 start, Herbert has an ugly 69.3 quarterback rating while averaging 199.7 passing yards per game. He also has a rough 5:10 touchdown-to-interception ratio and has thrown at least one interception in every game so far. 

                          This interception streak may end, but let's bank on it continuing this week. Herbert has now thrown an interception in 18 of his last 21 regular-season games dating back to last season. Yikes. Houston only has three interceptions this season, but the secondary still has enough playmakers to pick off Herbert. Notably, he threw an interception against the Texans last season and four in the playoff matchup against Houston two years ago. 

                          While Herbert may struggle again, Ladd McConkey can still be productive. The Texans allow a league-high 195.9 receiving yards and 22.3 targets per game to wide receivers. McConkey caught six targets for 86 yards last week in his return from injury. He now has 60+ yards in three games when healthy. 

                          Finally, let's add in two Woody Marks props to round out this parlay. The Chargers are allowing the eighth-most rushing yards per game to opposing running backs. The defense is also giving up the third-most carries per game to running backs. Marks has run for 66, 56 and 62 yards in the past three games since taking over lead-back duties. He also has 15+ carries in each. 

                          Parlay Odds: +425

                          Green Bay Packers at New England Patriots

                            Matthew Golden has been a difference-maker in the Green Bay offense. The wide receiver has averaged 77.4 receiving yards per game on over 10 targets per contest. He has 70+ yards in five out of eight games and at least 95 yards in four. Plus, he's seen at least 12 targets in five games this year. 

                            Let's count on Golden to produce against New England this weekend. The Patriots allow the 10th-most receiving yards per game to opposing wideouts. The secondary will likely struggle to contain Golden's speed and downfield playmaking. Green Bay continues to deploy a pass-heavy offense, and that shouldn't change this week. 

                            Meanwhile, a New England wide receiver should also have a good game. The Packers allow the third-most targets and fourth-most receptions per game to wideouts this year. That brings us to DeMario Douglas, the Patriots' top receiver lately. He's averaging 62.5 receiving yards over the past four games and has benefited from A.J. Brown's absences. He’s also posted 76, 86 and 65 yards in this stretch. Brown is out again, so Douglas should see more targets. 

                            On the flip side, don't expect much from Hunter Henry. The Patriots tight end has been productive recently, averaging 51 yards per game over the last five contests. However, this is a tough matchup. Green Bay allows the second-fewest receiving yards per game to tight ends. The Packers also allow the third-fewest receptions per game to the position. 

                            Parlay Odds: +430

                            Las Vegas Raiders at San Francisco 49ers

                              The 49ers' backfield gets one of the league’s best matchups this week. Las Vegas allows a league-high 5.1 yards per carry and the second-most rushing yards per game (146.4). So, let's build a parlay with both Christian McCaffrey and Kaelon Black. 

                              McCaffrey hasn't been nearly as productive rushing this season. He's averaging just 55.6 rushing yards per game on fewer carries. Even so, this matchup is impossible to ignore. McCaffrey should get to 60+ yards, given his 4.6 yards per carry and the Raiders’ weak run defense. Plus, he's hit 60 yards in four out of seven games, with 52 in another. 

                              Black can also produce in this matchup, especially as the 49ers continue to give him carries to back up McCaffrey. The rookie tailback rushed for 63 yards on 12 attempts last week, and he's averaging 4.1 yards per carry this year. San Francisco will likely lean on the ground game with both McCaffrey and Black. The latter can reach 40+ yards, possibly in garbage time. 

                              Let's now turn our attention to the other backfield. Ashton Jeanty has now seen his carries and rushing yards decrease in four straight games. It culminated in just two rushing attempts for nine yards last week. It's an odd situation. However, Jeanty is still producing as a pass-catcher.

                              Jeanty now has 376 receiving yards on 37 receptions and 46 targets this season. That's 47 yards and 4.6 catches per game. He's still the top pass-catching back, even as Mike Washington Jr. sees most of the carries. Jeanty also has at least 36 receiving yards in seven out of eight games. He now faces a 49ers defense that allows running backs a league-high 50.6 receiving yards and seven receptions per game. 

                              Parlay Odds: +400

                              Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks 

                                Drew Lock is slated to start for Seattle with Sam Darnold out. Even with the quarterback switch, Jaxon Smith-Njigba should keep dominating. The star wideout has 100+ yards in seven out of eight games this season and averages 123.1 yards per game. He's inevitable and should keep it going this week. 

                                Arizona is allowing the 12th-most receiving yards per game to opposing wide receivers. It's not the best matchup, but it doesn't matter for Smith-Njigba right now. Plus, he had 155 yards and three touchdowns against the Cardinals back in Week 2. That was also with Lock at quarterback. Smith-Njigba also had 122 yards with Lock in Week 1. 

                                Meanwhile, let's fade a pair of Cardinals. The Seahawks have been stout against the run, allowing just 3.5 yards per carry, tied for the league’s lowest. They also allow the sixth-fewest rushing yards per game to running backs. Plus, Seattle is tough against tight ends, giving up the third-fewest receiving yards per game. 

                                That brings us to Tyler Allgeier and Trey McBride, who should both be limited in their respective matchups. Allgeier exploded for 147 rushing yards last week, but regression is likely. Even with Jeremiyah Love out, Allgeier will struggle to find yards. Before last week, he was averaging just 2.8 yards per carry. 

                                As for McBride, fading him is always risky. However, Seattle will likely cover him tight and force Gardner Minshew II to look elsewhere. McBride only had 41 yards against the Seahawks earlier this season. He's been productive, but this week’s matchup says otherwise. 

                                Parlay Odds: +500
