Early NFL Week 7 Parlay #1
Leg 1: Caleb Williams First-Quarter Passing Touchdown (+170)
We open the week with an ambitious parlay that begins on Thursday with the Chicago-New England matchup. Caleb Williams returned from missing three games on Sunday and led the Bears to a 31-23 victory over the Falcons. Williams looked solid in his return, passing for over 300 yards, completing 30 of his 36 attempts.
Williams connected with Colston Loveland on Sunday in the first quarter, and with such a lucrative payout, we feel he throws for one touchdown in the first 10 minutes against New England. The Bears quarterback is 18-of-20 on first-quarter passes and has thrown for over 220 yards in three games.
You can certainly play it safe with Williams’ first-quarter yards (55+ yards at -110). However, given the high point total of 51, the Bears are expected to score a touchdown in the first 10 minutes.
Leg 2: Aaron Rodgers 28+ Passing Attempts (-542)
This prop has been one of the most lucrative legs of the season, and we are once again going back to the well. Truth be told, passing attempts have yielded massive success over the first seven weeks. Teams are throwing at a high rate, and the sportsbooks are only recently paying attention to this prop. The juice on this leg is sickening. Yet, it makes for a complementary piece to put in a parlay.
Aaron Rodgers has thrown 28+ passes in all six games. The fewest the veteran quarterback has recorded in a contest is 31. Rodgers is averaging 38.3 attempts this season and 39.6 on the road. There was some expectation that the attempts would dip somewhat with Rico Dowdle’s return on Sunday. This was not the case, as Rodgers threw a season-high 49 attempts.
Leg 3: Nico Collins Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+100)
We close out our parlay with another positive return that is sure to drop throughout the week. You will want to get in on this leg before it is no longer a positive return.
Tank Dell is expected to make his first start of the season on Sunday, which could complicate things going forward. As for this contest, Nico Collins has been the catalyst for Houston's scoring, and we think he adds another touchdown to his resume at home against the New York Giants.
Collins has crossed the goal line twice in four games - both were played in Houston. The Giants have allowed seven touchdowns to the wide receiver position this season - third-most in the league. The wide receiver for Houston has scored a touchdown in three consecutive home games dating back to last season.

Early NFL Week 7 Parlay #2
Leg 1: Minnesota Vikings Moneyline (-278)
Our second parlay features two Moneyline bets and one game total that stand out amongst the crowd. While we are being a bit more conservative than on our previous parlay, the return is more than palatable. You definitely want to get in on these lines earlier in the week. All three have a very high expectancy to change. Ultimately, that will impact your return on investment.
Minnesota is 5-0 and coming off a bye week. It's been a surprising start for Minnesota, and they have the opportunity to add to their win total against a struggling Indianapolis team. The Colts ruined our parlay last week when Indianapolis allowed Tennessee to get their first win.
Things are absolutely dire for the Colts, and we are not even halfway through the season. Indianapolis has now lost two consecutive games and is 1-2 on the road. Minnesota is allowing only 12.8 points per game and scoring nearly 22 points per game. The Colts are spiraling, and a contest against one of the league’s best defensive units is not the kind of environment where we expect them to turn it around.
Leg 2: Carolina Panthers Moneyline (-192)
Bryce Young has this Carolina team buzzing at the moment, and whether you have been putting money on the team outright or on player props for the young quarterback, it's been a highly lucrative investment. Carolina has won back-to-back contests and scored 25+ points in four out of five contests.
Tampa Bay is no pushover, and that has to be stated. While Tampa Bay may not be stacking wins, they have stayed within a touchdown in every contest. The Buccaneers’ issue in this contest boils down to offensive prowess.
Tampa has only scored 20+ points in one game. Whereas Carolina failed to score 20+ points in only one contest. The Panthers appear to be clear favorites on Sunday, and we absolutely agree.
Leg 3: San Francisco 49ers-Atlanta Falcons Under 50.5 Points (-110)
San Francisco continues to shine through the 2026-2027 campaign. Kyle Shanahan is locked in right now, and Brock Purdy is an early MVP candidate. Having said that, the Niners are coming off a horrific second half, and without Mike Evans on the field, San Francisco's offense seemed less effective.
As for Atlanta, you never really know what to expect. Michael Penix Jr. has taken the reins at quarterback and, at first, looked otherworldly. In the previous contest for the Falcons on Sunday, the young quarterback completed only 19-of-33 passes. The Falcons have scored exactly 23 points in two consecutive games.
San Francisco scored three points in the second half on Monday. Without Evans, scoring is sure to regress. Subsequently, San Francisco is holding their opponents to 18.3 points per game. If the Niners are limiting the opposition’s scoring while struggling to find success on their own offense, there's a very good chance this total stays under 51 points.
