We’ve got some Saturday night action in the NFL as the Buffalo Bills head to California to take on the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium. The Bills are seriously rolling now and putting the league on notice after victories over the Chiefs and Cowboys, and will want to continue their postseason push with a comfortable performance against LA. As for the Chargers, they just got humiliated 63-21 against the Raiders and will once again be starting Easton Stick at quarterback. To add some spice to this matchup, we’ve come up with a Bills vs Chargers Same Game Parlay at HUGE +3256 odds with FanDuel Sportsbook. Let’s dive in.
Bills -12.5 (-115)
Under 50.5 (-320)
Isaiah Spiller to score a touchdown (+600)
Same Game Parlay: +3256
Buffalo Bills -12.5 over Los Angeles Chargers (-115)
The Bills just put the entire NFL on notice after last week’s 31-10 demolition of the Cowboys and it’s hard not to see them doing similar damage to the Chargers. James Cook put in the performance of his career in that Dallas victory and highlighted that Buffalo is just as dominant on the ground as it is through the air with Josh Allen. Given that Los Angeles has allowed the 6th-most rushing touchdowns in the league, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Cook have more success here.
But even if the Bills offense isn’t quite as vicious this week, they should still be able to cover the spread given how anemic the Chargers have become. Justin Herbert has joined Mike Williams in being out for the season, and Keenan Allen will also miss this game with a knee injury. Austin Ekeler has struggled for weeks now to the point that the Chargers are operating a 3-man running back committee. We saw how badly Los Angeles is hurting in that game against Las Vegas last week, and I believe they could be in for another rough game.

Under 50.5 (-320)
Next on our Bills vs Chargers Same Game Parlay, we’re taking the under at an alternate under. This is a somewhat conservative pick given that I really don’t expect the Chargers to do much offensively, but it also gives us some insurance in case Buffalo does run up the score. After all, the Bills have scored 31 points or more in 3 of their last 4 games. This is also a calculated move based on the final pick of our SGP, as taking the under even at an inflated number sees us get a hefty odds boost overall due to the contrarian plays.
Isaiah Spiller to score a touchdown (+600)
This is the leg that REALLY drives up the odds on this SGP, as we’re picking a Chargers player to score a TD (at massive odds) that conflicts with both the Bills covering the spread and the under. However, I think this is a risk worth taking. I noted above that the Chargers look set to operate a 3-man committee out of the backfield and I can see Isaiah Spiller being a major beneficiary of that. He had 16 carries for 50 yards against the Raiders last week and there are rumors that he could see a similar workload here. Buffalo has allowed 4 rushing touchdowns in their last 3 games, and even with the Chargers’ offensive woes, I still expect them to find the end zone at some point. At such big odds, I’m happy to take a chance on Spiller being that guy.
