Week 13 of the 2023 NFL wraps up with Monday Night Football between the Cincinnati Bengals and Jacksonville Jaguars. Things have gone downhill fast for the visiting Bengals, who are 5-6 and have lost 3 in a row. They are also without QB Joe Burrow for the remainder of the season. Jacksonville, on the other hand, is 8-3 and leading the AFC South.
Both teams will be eager to win this one. The Bengals pretty much have to get the victory if they want to remain in the wild-card hunt, while the Jaguars are battling for both a division title and the #1 seed in the AFC. Here is my Bengals vs Jaguars Same Game Parlay for MNF, which kick off at 8:15 pm ET on ABC. Also, be sure to check out our full Bengals vs Jaguars predictions.
Over 39.5 (-110)
Calvin Ridley 90+ receiving yards (+300)
Jake Browning 250+ passing yards (+210)
Same Game Parlay odds: +1141
Part of the value in a Same Game Parlay, of course, is that all of its components can be correlated if you so choose. That is the entire plan here, as big nights for both Jacksonville receiver Calvin Ridley and Cincinnati quarterback Jake Browning would obviously help take the game over the total. Let’s break down each of the 3 legs.
Over 39.5 (-110)
Cincinnati struggled to generate much offense against Pittsburgh, but it was a physical Steelers defense and it was Browning’s first start. The odds are the Bengals will find some success against a Jaguars defense that is vulnerable. Meanwhile, on the other side of the ball, the Jags boast a potent offense that is capable of going off on any given week. Trevor Lawrence passed for 364 yards against a solid Texans defense last weekend and his matchup with Cincy is extremely favorable. In general, primetime games have been on the lower-scoring side, but I expect Monday’s contest to reach the 40-point mark without too much trouble.

Calvin Ridley 90+ receiving yards (+300)
Ridley has cemented himself as WR1 in Jacksonville, making it well worth it for the Jaguars to sign him to an extension and give Atlanta a second-round draft pick stemming from the 2022 trade. The Alabama product has made 47 catches for 663 yards and 5 touchdowns this season. Three of his TDs have come in the last 2 contests – including 2 against Tennessee in Week 11. That 103-yard performance marked the third time he has surpassed the 100-yard plateau in 2023 and he has produced 83 yards or more on 2 other occasions in the last 4 weeks. Meanwhile, the Bengals’ defense is #26 in the NFL against the pass and is giving up a league-worst 8.1 yards per attempt. I would even consider playing this to 100 or more to go big and really spike up the odds on this SGP.

Jake Browning 250+ passing yards (+210)
As the double-digit spread suggests, Cincinnati could be playing from behind the whole way on Monday night. If that’s the case, Browning will have to air it out early and often. Either way, the former Washington standout should find some success at the Jaguars’ expense. Jacksonville is #4 in the NFL against the run, but its passing defense is #28 – allowing 255 yards per game through the air. Browning’s first start wasn’t terrible; he completed 19 of 26 attempts for 227 yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception.
