NFL Week 1 Picks: 3 Best Same-Game Parlays
It's Week 1 of the NFL season. We don't have any stats to back up anything this year. But we can use projections, last year's stats, and our gut to get us through Week 1 of the season.
With that said, I've added three Same-Game Parlays that I'm confident with. If we just hit one of these three parlays, we'll finish this article profitable. That's the ultimate goal. We just got to win one! (Although winning all three would be nice!)
NFL Week 1 Same-Game Parlay Picks
New York Jets vs. Baltimore Ravens SAME GAME PARLAY Picks
3-Leg Same Game Parlay (+464) (Bet $100 to win $464)
- Lamar Jackson Over 59.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
- Joe Flacco Over 238.5 Passing Yards (-114)
- Elijah Moore Over 54.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
The Jets were one of the worst teams against the run last year on the defensive end. Lamar Jackson has led the Ravens in rushing yards in the previous couple of seasons. After not signing a deal with the Ravens before the season, he's in the final season of his contract. He's going to want to get paid.
Meanwhile, the Jets will likely trail for most of this game. Joe Flacco will have to start passing a lot in the second half and will want to find his best target to move down the field. His best target is currently Elijah Moore.
Washington Commanders vs. Jacksonville Jaguars SAME GAME PARLAY Picks
3-Leg Same Game Parlay (+582) (Bet $100 to win $582)
- Antonio Gibson Anytime Touchdown (+110)
- Trevor Lawrence Over 237.5 Passing Yards (-114)
- Jahan Dotson Over 39.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
Although Antonio Gibson is known for fumbling, he's also a solid pass catcher and will be the lead running back for the Commanders on Sunday. The Jaguars improved defensively, but it's still going to take time. This defense was terrible against the run last year, giving Gibson a chance to put together a great week.
Meanwhile, the Jaguars also struggled in the secondary. It's been reported that Carson Wentz and Jahan Dotson have built up some chemistry. Some have said that Dotson has become Wentz's favorite target. He'll get 40 or more yards.
Lastly, Trevor Lawrence gets a fresh new start in his second season in the league. It'll be much better than his first. Still, I expect the Jaguars to be losing most of this game. That means he'll have to throw the ball down the field.
Arizona Cardinals vs. Kansas City Chiefs SAME GAME PARLAY Picks
3-Leg Same Game Parlay (+521) (Bet $100 to win $521)
- James Conner Anytime Touchdown (-125)
- Kyler Murray Over 256.5 Passing Yards (-114)
- JuJu Smith-Schuster Over 46.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
I'm not sure if James Conner will replicate what he did last season in terms of touchdowns. But the Cardinals will still be a fast-paced offense and move the ball down the field rapidly. Conner will be prepared to earn those goal-line scores.
We're expecting a shootout between these two teams. If Zach Ertz and Rondale Moore are available to play, this line will shoot up on Murray's passing yards. Murray could have a breakout season, especially when DeAndre Hopkins returns. But for now, we at least know Hollywood Brown will be available. He'll be able to make some extended plays down the field.
We saw glimpses of what JuJu Smith-Schuster can do in Pittsburgh. Now that he's with Patrick Mahomes, he could easily break out into a quality receiver. There are a lot of targets in Kansas City, but I think we'll see JuJu stand out next to Travis Kelce as the two most reliable options.
