Best NFL Week 16 Same Game Parlay Bets: Browns vs. Bengals
(Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook unless noted otherwise)
Browns vs. Bengals
- Leg 1: Bengals -8.5 (-112)
- Leg 2: Dorian Thompson-Robinson 25+ Rushing Yards (-150)
- Leg 3: Ja'Marr Chase Anytime Touchdown (-130)
Despite their disappointing season, the Bengals can still make the playoffs if things break their way in these final weeks. Either way, though, they need to win out to have a chance. Cincinnati has won its last two games coming in and should keep things going against the lowly Browns at home.
The Bengals have underperformed against playoff-calibre teams but have taken care of business against the bad ones. They're 6-1 ATS against teams below .500 this season and have covered six straight since losing to New England in Week 1. With Joe Burrow at quarterback, Cincy is also 12-3 ATS vs. teams with losing records since the start of last season.
Cleveland would certainly qualify as a team under .500 with its 3-11 record. After previously being a feisty underdog, the Browns have fallen off with two straight double-digit losses to Pittsburgh and Kansas City. They've now lost four of their last six games by at least 13 points. Cincinnati should win this by multiple scores, and the spread has moved in their direction this week.
The Jameis Winston experience was a fun one but the Browns are now turning to Dorian Thompson-Robinson at quarterback. It's only his fourth career start, and the previous three saw Cleveland score a total of 28 points. DTR is a downgrade from Winston despite the latter's poor play recently. The Bengals defense can be exploited by dangerous offenses and quarterbacks, but that's not the case at all this weekend.
One thing we can count on from Thompson-Robinson is his dual-threat ability. Cincinnati is allowing a league-high 30.7 rushing yards to opposing quarterbacks. When DTR entered in relief earlier this season (coincidentally against the Bengals), he ran for 44 yards in just 45% of the snaps. In three starts last year, he ran for 20+ yards in each. Even last week, in only 14 snaps, Thompson-Robinson had 16 rush yards. When things break down in the pocket, he's a capable and willing runner.
Let's finish the SGP parlay off with a Ja'Marr Chase anytime touchdown. He's been a scoring machine this year, with 15 TDs through 14 games. Chase has found the end zone in all but five games, and he was just held out last week. So, expect him to get back in there against a Cleveland defense that's allowed 20 receiving scores in 14 games.
