Vikings vs. Falcons: NFL Week 9 Same Game Parlay Odds & Picks

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 Vikings vs. Falcons.

NFL Same Game Parlay Odds & Picks: Vikings vs. Falcons

Vikings @ Falcons

Falcons -3.5 (-110)
Bijan Robinson U58.5 Rush Yards (-115)
Van Jefferson 25+ Rec Yards (-130)

Atlanta is 3-1 at home this year, and Taylor Heinicke should give them an instant upgrade at QB. Minnesota comes in with a three-game win streak, but after Kirk Cousins' Achilles injury last week they'll be starting rookie QB Jaren Hall. I expect the Falcons to win this game and to cover the 3.5 point spread, as Minnesota's defense has been spotty this year and Taylor Heinicke should give them a significant edge at QB.

Minnesota's pass defense has struggled a bit this season, but their rush defense has actually been very good. They allow 3.5 yards per carry, a top-five mark in the NFL. Given that Arthur Smith is intent on punishing fantasy football owners, and hasn't given Bijan Robinson more than 14 carries since Week 2, I don't think he'll see enough volume to break 58.5 rush yards. I do like Van Jefferson yardage props, however, as he should see an increased role with Drake London out and Minnesota has struggled to defend opposing WRs this year.

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.
