Thursday Night Football Same Game Parlay: Alexander Mattison, Kirk Cousins Set for Big Night

The Philadelphia Eagles host the Minnesota Vikings tonight, and I have built a five-leg same-game parlay from DraftKings based on how I think the game will go tonight. Ultimately, I think the Eagles take care of business at home, which is something they did very well last year, going 9-2. I don’t expect Minnesota will have much success on the ground, which means they are likely to air it out like they did in Week 1. Below are my five legs, with reasoning for each.

Thursday Night Football Same Game Parlay

Leg 1: Alexander Mattison 3+ Receptions

• Hit in six of the last six games without Dalvin Cook

• PHI Eagles just allowed 13 receptions on 16 targets to RBs versus the New England Patriots in Week 1 (Most in the NFL)

Leg 2: Jordan Addison 25+ Receiving Yards

• Four receptions on six targets in Week 1
