The 2021 NFL season has been a wild ride, and we’re already onto Week 16. The holidays are here, and what better way to celebrate than by betting a same game parlay? I cashed our mega parlay for Week 13 on Sunday at +1255 and I also hit the Week 11 mega parlay at +1762, so I’m feeling it right now when it comes to big money parlays.
Here we go:
Washington ML (+360)
Terry McLaurin 80+ alternate receiving yards (+205)
Parlay odds: +1055
We have a 2-leg same game parlay, which pays out at north of 10/1 with FanDuel Sportsbook. Let’s break it down.
Washington ML (+360)
To start this same game parlay we have Washington on the money line. I think Dallas is being overrated for a couple of reasons. For starters, their offense has quietly really been struggling recently. Even in their win over the Giants last week, Dak Prescott averaged just 5.9 yards per attempt. They won only because Mike Glennon was quarterbacking the other team. All of their recent wins have come against slumping teams.
Washington and Dallas just played a couple of weeks ago, and Prescott averaged 5.4 yards per attempt with two interceptions. As such, I don’t see this one being a blowout. This is a last stand for Washington, and I think this game will come down to the wire. Taylor Heinicke missed last week on the COVID list, which allowed him to rest nagging knee and elbow injuries.

Terry McLaurin 80+ alternate receiving yards (+205)
McLaurin has been mostly quiet the past few weeks, but now is the time to buy low. Last week he had 51 yards, but that was in a game with heavy rain and Garrett Gilbert at quarterback, who had just been signed a couple of days before. I also think this play correlates with the first leg of our same game parlay, since McLaurin will need to have a big day for Washington to win. Antonio Gibson is questionable with a significant toe injury, and Washington won’t be able to lean on their run game against a strong Dallas defensive front.
In the first meeting between these teams McLaurin didn’t do anything, but that’s because he left early with an injury. In both games against the Cowboys last season, he had at least 90 yards.
