Week 13 of the NFL season is here, and not only is it Week 13, but it’s Thanksgiving Week, meaning there are three games on Thursday, including the Green Bay Packers vs. the Detroit Lions, the Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Dallas Cowboys and the Baltimore Ravens vs. the Cincinnati Bengals. We’ll be focusing on the Ravens-Bengals matchup with our best NFL Thursday Night Football same game parlay (SGP).
In this game, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is expected to make his return from a toe injury after missing nine games. In that span, the Bengals went 1-8 and are 3-8 on the season, trailing the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North standings.
That said, the Ravens are 6-5, so a Burrow-led rally to close out the season could help the Bengals position themselves for a playoff spot. Below is a three-leg NFL same game parlay for this matchup, including a spread pick and two props. Let’s check it out.

NFL Thursday Night Football Same Game Parlay: Ravens vs. Bengals
Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook | All bets are for one unit unless otherwise stated
- Leg 1: Bengals +7 (-108)
- Leg 2: Mark Andrews Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+120)
- Leg 3: Ja’Marr Chase Anytime Touchdown Scorer (-110)
Leg #1: Bengals +7 (-108)
While it hasn’t been confirmed yet, it appears Joe Burrow will be back in the lineup for this game. Yes, the Bengals are allowing 156 rushing yards (31st), 259.8 passing yards (32nd) and 32.7 points (32nd) per game, but Burrow’s return will change things.
The Ravens primarily play Cover 1 and Cover 3 this season. Dating back to last season (since Burrow hasn’t played much this year), he’s completed 68% of his passes for 2,389 yards, 18 touchdowns and seven interceptions against those coverages.
We see this as a bit of a back-and-forth game, with the Ravens winning in the end.
Leg #2: Mark Andrews Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+135)
Heading into Week 13, the Bengals have been atrocious at defending the tight end position (and, really, everyone), allowing 10.09 targets, 6.91 receptions, 87.45 yards and 1.18 touchdowns per game.
Opposing tight ends have scored 13 times across seven separate games. This includes at least one touchdown allowed to the position in six of the last seven games.
As for Mark Andrews himself, he has five touchdowns this season. He hasn’t scored in each of the last two games, but in the two games before that, against the Minnesota Vikings and Miami Dolphins, he scored three times.
Andrews is second on the Ravens in target share at 16.7%. Over the last four games since quarterback Lamar Jackson returned to action, his target share is also 16.7%, catching nine passes (on 16 targets) for 77 yards and three touchdowns in that span.
Andrews is well-positioned against a bad defense. Not only that, but with Joe Burrow back in the lineup, I expect this game to be more competitive, so there won’t be a point at which the Ravens take their foot off the gas in the passing game.
Leg #3: Ja’Marr Chase Anytime Touchdown Scorer (-110)
This season, in games where Joe Burrow has been the quarterback, Ja’Marr Chase leads the Bengals in team target share at 28.6%, catching six of his 10 targets for 63 yards and a touchdown. Those stats are across just two games.
Tee Higgins has been ruled out after he suffered a concussion in Week 12. From the start of 2024, in instances where Higgins isn’t on the field, Chase has seen 68 targets. The next closest player is Mike Gesicki at 43. Chase caught 49 of those 68 targets for 598 yards and five touchdowns.
Chase should be heavily targeted, especially with Burrow back under center.
Parlay Odds: +625
