Week 7 of the NFL season kicked off on Thursday night and we actually got a decent football game. It wasn’t overly competitive all the way down to the wire, but points were scored! In fact, 76 of them were scored! Congratulations, over bettors. Following Arizona’s 42-34 victory over New Orleans, it’s time to turn our attention to the Sunday slate.
Here is Sunday’s mega parlay:
Falcons ML (+245)
Browns +6.5 (-110)
Dolphins -7 (-110)
Parlay odds: +1157
For this parlay we are going with one favorite against an alternate spread and two underdogs on the money line. Let’s break down each of the legs one by one.
Falcons ML over Bengals (+245)
The Falcons are coming off an upset of the 49ers. That propelled them to 3-3 overall (well on their way to smashing their over/under win total) and 6-0 ATS. Yes, Atlanta is perfect against the spread – the only team in the NFL with such distinction. It should be able to cover 6 points against Cincinnati, but even an outright victory seems well within reason. The Bengals’ offensive line is terrible and Ja’Marr Chase is questionable. They just barely beat the Saints in Week 6 and we once again saw on Thursday how bad the Saints are. Atlanta can control this game with its recipe for success: running the football.

Browns +6.5 over Ravens (-110)
Both AFC North rivals could really use a win; each has dealt with some recent adversity. Cleveland started 2-1 but has since lost 3 straight games, while Baltimore is just 2-3 in its last 5 with a couple of big chokes during this stretch. The Browns may be 2-4, but 3 of their losses have been very competitive. Those 3 setbacks have come by a combined total of 6 points. When you can get the Browns +6.5 points against anyone, it’s usually a good opportunity – especially against a struggling opponent that has been particularly underwhelming at home in recent seasons. Even though the Giants are 5-1, last week’s effort by the Ravens was still a disappointing one. They may scrape through this one and win outright, but I don’t think this team is good enough right now to cover.

Dolphins -7 over Steelers (-110)
This marks the first time these 2 AFC representatives have faced each other since 2019. In 8 head-to-head meetings since the Dolphins were last favored in this matchup (2004), they are 5-3 against the spread. That doesn’t mean a whole lot because both franchises are a lot different now, but those differences are good for Miami and bad for Pittsburgh. Last week’s stunner over the Bucs notwithstanding, the Steelers are looking like one of the worst teams in football. Although the Dolphins are a modest 3-3, they were 3-0 when Tua Tagovailoa was healthy. Now he is back – just in time to beat up on a lowly opponent. Even if he is rusty, the former Alabama should not have to do too much himself. Just getting the ball into the hands of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle will suffice. Regardless of who is under center for Pittsburgh, I can’t see the offensive line holding up and allowing the underdogs to put up enough points to stay within a touchdown.
