NFL Sunday Night Football Same Game Parlay Odds & Picks: Patriots vs. Broncos (Week 16)
The Broncos versus the Patriots isn’t the most exciting matchup. Nevertheless, one standout player has a pair of eye-catching props. A veteran workhorse on the other side also has a sweet prop to round out the following three-leg same-game parlay (SGP).
Sunday Night Football’s Best Same Game Parlay Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Patriots at Broncos SGP
- Leg 1: Courtland Sutton Over 49.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
- Leg 2: Courtland Sutton Anytime TD (+125)
- Leg 3: Ezekiel Elliott 60+ Rushing Yards (-175)
Courtland Sutton is Denver’s best offensive weapon. He should be relatively busy against a defense stout against the run that opponents have opted to attack through the air instead. According to RotoViz’s pace app, New England’s opponents have had a 65% situation-neutral pass rate since Week 12.
According to Pro-Football-Reference, Sutton has averaged 55.0 receiving yards per game, with a 61.5 this season. He’s had over 49.5 receiving nine times this year. The matchup isn’t imposing for Sutton’s receiving outlook. The Patriots have allowed 18 wide receivers to exceed 49.5 receiving yards this season, and Jaylen Waddle did so twice. FantasyPros projects Sutton to have 55.3 receiving yards this week.
Sutton can also find paydirt. He has a nose for the endzone, scoring touchdowns in nine of 13 games this season. The matchup is non-threatening, too. The Patriots have allowed 12 wide receivers to catch a touchdown pass, and Tyreek Hill did so in two games.
Denver’s offense isn’t built to blow out opponents. So, the Patriots should have the running game at their disposal for most of the contest. Rhamondre Stevenson is out, leaving Ezekiel Elliott to headline the backfield.
Without Stevenson the previous two weeks, Elliott has handled 33 of New England’s backfield’s 37 opportunities. He ran for 93 yards. Zeke has a tasty matchup he can feast on this week. According to The 33rd Team, the Broncos have coughed up 106 rushing yards per game and 4.9 yards per carry to running backs since Week 12. Zeke is projected to have 66.5 rushing yards against Denver’s leaky run defense.
