We've been waiting all night for Sunday Night Football, except the game kinda sucks this week. Sorry Chicago Bears and Las Angeles Chargers fans. This is not the best primetime matchup, in fact, it's one of the worst we have had this season, but there is still money to be made. Let's not waste any more time and get right into the parlay.

Chicago Bears vs. Los Angeles Chargers Same Game Parlay
Leg 1: Bears +9.5
It's the Tyson Bagent era. I'm kidding, mostly, but the rookie out of Shepard College has looked very composed in his short time in the spotlight. The Bear's offense has not looked good this season, and maybe a change under center was a blessing in disguise (although I hope Fields heals quickly and wish him well). Bagent did exactly what he needed to last week, staying composed in the pocket and trusting his receivers, one of whom (DJ Moore), is a veteran presence who got open to make life easy on the rookie.
I don't think the Bears have a great shot to win straight up, however, they are getting A LOT of points against a porous Chargers secondary. 9.5 is a lot in the NFL, and the Chargers haven't been a "blowout" team as it is. The blowout teams in the NFL almost always have elite defenses, and the Chargers do not. The Chargers are one of those teams that just always play in close games. In fact, all but one of the Chargers games this season have been decided by one possession, win or lose, and they have played some bad teams, like the Titans and Raiders. The Bears should be able to hang in this game and keep it a one-score contest.
Leg 2: DJ Moore Over 56.5 Receiving Yards
Tyson Bagent only threw for 162 yards last week. 54 of those went to DJ Moore. Moore had 21 completions, and 8 of them went to Moore. Bagent is clearly looking for Moore out there, and for good reason. He's an excellent veteran receiver who can make big plays.
The Chargers' secondary is not good. They are allowing 269 yards just to wide receivers every game which is the third-highest in the NFL. Not good. Moore has already had three games of 100+ receiving yards, and against this bad secondary, he could be set up for another. I don't care who is under center, Moore can get open, and Bagent proved he can get it to him last week. Is Fields really a better passer than Bagent, anyway? Moore could lead the box score in receiving yards tonight.
Leg Three: Tyson Bagent Anytime Touchdown
Here's the longshot that gives us such good odds on the parlay. Bagent is young and hungry. He wants to prove he can make it in this league. He stepped up and proved it last week. The Bear's offensive line has some holes, and Bagent showed us last week that when the pocket breaks down, he can take off. He actually runs pretty well. He had three carries for 24 yards last week, and now that he has the confidence to take off, he could take off even more this week. When he came into the game against Minnesota, Bagent didn't even play the full game and still ran in a touchdown. If the Bears are on the goal line or anywhere inside the 10, I expect Bagent to take off if the pocket breaks down, which could be on any play with that offensive line. For +500, I like his odds to get in.
