The weather is cooling off, the days are getting shorter, and NFL fans around the country are getting ready to sit in front of their TV for 10 consecutive hours of football on Sunday. What better way to get in on the action than a few same game parlays? Here are my top same game parlay picks for Raiders vs. Chargers.
NFL Same Game Parlay Odds & Picks: Raiders vs. Chargers
Los Angeles Chargers at Las Vegas Raiders
- Leg 1: Chargers -4.5 (-110)
- Leg 2: Joshua Palmer 50+ Rec Yards (+120)
- Leg 3: Quentin Johnston Over 2.5 Receptions (-150)
I believe the Chargers are better than their 1-2 record. Their two losses were by three points each, in Tennessee and at home against the Dolphins. Their defense has been their weakness this year, but with Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo questionable with a concussion, and the Raiders' offense largely ineffective this season, I expect the Chargers' defense to hold it together enough for the offense to carry them to a win.
It's always tricky betting on two WRs from one team in a parlay, but with Mike Williams out for the season, it remains to be seen how Josh Palmer and Quentin Johnston will be utilized going forward. I expect both to see an uptick in usage, and Justin Herbert is great at spreading the ball around to his receivers. I expect both to post solid games, and the negative correlation between the two gives us some great odds here.
Parlay Odds: +600
What is a Same Game Parlay?
Parlays have gained popularity because of the potential that they provide to the bettor to make large sums of money without having to provide the cash up-front that it would take to make the same amount if you were to bet each game individually. With the increase in popularity and money coming into the sportsbooks, FanDuel rolled out the Same Game Parlay, and other sportsbooks soon followed.
The same game parlay brings the elements of the parlay into one single game. They offer a ton of options within the same game to allow the bettor to be able to take these options and combine them within one game.
