Vikings vs. Lions Same-Game Parlay: Can Justin Jefferson, Amon-Ra St. Brown Shine in NFC North Title Game?

Week 18 of the NFL is here! While there plenty of games this week that have no playoff implications, there is also one in particular that will really shape how the NFC turns out, and that game is the Sunday Night Football matchup of Minnesota Vikings vs. Detroit Lions. The winner will take the No. 1 seed and NFC North Division. I have put together my favorite parlay for the game, and will dive into why I like each leg below.

Vikings vs. Lions Same-Game Parlay

Leg 1: Amon-Ra St. Brown 7+ Receptions

Amon-Ra St. Brown is in a great spot here in a game vs. Minnesota, who is a team that blitzes at the highest rate in the NFL. Goff loves to throw St. Brown when blitzed, and he should be heavily targeted in a game that looks to be a shootout. Amon-Ra has put up 8, 7, and 10 catches last three matchups with the Vikings.

Leg 2: Justin Jefferson 90+ Receiving Yards

Justin Jefferson has absolutely destroyed the Lions throughout his career. He’s put up 81, 192, 141, 223, 14, 182, 124, and 133 yards in his last eight matchups. This game should have a ton of offense, and the Lions defense is very banged-up, struggling in the past few weeks. With them being a better run defense, Jefferson should feast. He’s seen 11, 13, and 14 targets the last three weeks. He has 90+ yards in 6/8 games this season with 9+ targets.

Leg 3: Aaron Jones Over 18.5 Receiving Yards

Aaron Jones has gone for 20 receiving yards in three straight weeks, and has been running more routes as of late. He’s coming off back to back five target games, and should see another 3+ here. He has a better PFF receiving grade vs. man coverage this year (Detroit plays a ton of man coverage) and a higher yards per reception. He put up 23 yards in the last matchup earlier this season, and I think he has similar production in this one.

Leg 4: Jared Goff 2+ Passing TDs

Goff has been extremely consistent hitting this line going for 2+ pass TDs in seven of the last eight games and with 3+ pass TDs in four straight. He’s always played extremely well at home, averaging over three pass TDs over his last six games there. With the Vikings defense more prone to allowing yards and TDs in the pass game, I think Goff will be able to continue his high hit rates and streaks again on Sunday Night Football.
