Reasoning

Pittsburgh Steelers -5.5 alternate spread over Cleveland Browns (+114)

I generally don’t love giving more than a field goal in any AFC North matchup (those always seem to be competitive, physical dogfights), but there are exceptions to that rule – and this is one of those exceptions. After all, these are 2 franchises going in different directions. Under head coach Mike Tomlin, the Steelers – who are in line for yet another winning season – always seem to be trending upward. The Browns, on the other hand, are going nowhere fast – bogged down by the outrageous Deshaun Watson contract. Will home-field advantage do anything to help Cleveland? It’s unlikely, as head coach Kevin Stefanski’s club is 1-4 so far this year at Huntington Bank Field. The bottom line is that the Steelers are rolling and the Browns are most definitely not. Give me the visitors to win by at least a touchdown.

George Pickens to score a touchdown (+230)

Pickens has scored only 2 touchdowns this year, but both of those have come in the last 4 weeks. With Wilson throwing him the ball, Pickens is enjoying by far his best 4-game stretch of the season. The former Georgia standout has made 22 receptions on 33 targets, with 365 yards to go along with his 2 TDs. He now faces a Cleveland defense that has surrendered 14 touchdowns through the air while intercepting a mere 2 passes. It’s also worth noting that the Browns allow the 4th-most yards per pass attempt in the NFL (7.8). Count on another big performance by Pickens, who has great anytime touchdown scorer value at +230.

Najee Harris Over 63.5 rushing yards (-113)

The predicted game script – leading to a comfortable win for Pittsburgh – would result in a whole host of carries for Harris. If the Steelers jump out to a lead and maintain it, they can keep feeding the rock to Harris and run the clock. The Alabama product has exceeded this 63.5 number in 6 of 10 games this season and he missed it on the hook last week against Baltimore. Harris has surpassed the 100-yard mark in 3 of the last 5 contests. He has gotten at least 18 carries in 4 straight games, having previously gotten 18 only twice in the first 6. All signs point to a heavy workload on Thursday, one that the 26-year-old should make the most of by parlaying into significant yardage.

What Is An NFL Parlay

An NFL parlay is a type of bet where you combine multiple selections into a single wager. For an NFL parlay to win, all of the selections or bets need to win. While the difficulty of winning an NFL parlay increases with each selection you add, the odds can also greatly increase. To calculate the odds of a parlay you multiply the odds of the individual selections so the more selections, the bigger the parlay odds. You can also make use of our Parlay Calculator to take care of all of the math for you. For more on Parlays be sure to check out our Parlay betting guide.

NFL Parlay Strategies & Tips

Parlay Bets despite their popularity can be one of the most difficult and lucrative bets, with increased difficulty with each selection you add. It’s important to remember that over the course of the NFL season even experts will very likely lose more parlays than they win.

Here are three quick tips to better your chances of winning long-term with your NFL Parlays

Stick to 2, 3, or 4 team parlays – Any more than this will often not be profitable long term despite the increased parlay odds.
Shop around for odds – Not all online sportsbooks offer the same odds, and while there is often only a marginal difference if you can wager three picks at -105 each instead of -120, your payout would be $744.21 instead of $616.20 to a $100 stake.
Manage your bankroll – Being disciplined with your bankroll is key long term as not all parlays will win, particularly in the NFL, but if you keep your stake consistent, at odds of around 6/1, you only need to win 1 in 7 parlays to break even, any better than that is profit.

What is an NFL Teaser Bet?

One of the ways to avoid the frustration of losing an against-the-spread bet by a point or two is with teaser NFL picks. For example, in a 2-team teaser, you get 6 points placed in your direction (-7 spread becomes -1) for both games. The caveat is that both teams must cover for your ticket to be graded a winner and the odds are similar to a single-game bet. Conversely in a parlay, you still wager on two teams but with the original spread and with better payout odds (usually 3:1). Teasers and parlays can be played with 2,3,4,5 teams or more.

What Is A Same Game Parlay

A Same Game Parlay is just like a regular parlay wager, except all selections come from prop bets within one specific game. The obvious positive of a Same Game Parlay is that by combining multiple selections you can go for an even bigger win with the odds increasing with each selection.

Bettors will often use Same Game Parlays to wager on correlated props, and if you get it right the payouts can be huge. Take, for example, a team facing a poor pass defense with an elite QB, in that spot, you might take the QB to hit over their passing yards total and you can also parlay that with their favorite wide receiver to score anytime and the team to win.

How Do I Bet On A Same Game Parlay

With the Same Game Parlay’s increasing popularity, the majority of leading online sportsbooks now offer them across a number of sports, including the NFL. Some refer to them as One Game Parlays and Single Game Parlays, which are different in name, but the same in concept.

NFL Parlays FAQs

Can You Parlay NFL Win Totals?

You cannot parlay NFL Win Totals bets as the outcomes of the events are closely correlated. If you were to bet the Overs on the Saints, but the Unders on the Buccaneers for example, and the Saints beat the Bucs twice in a season, both outcomes are likely to increase their chances of winning.

What Is A Parlay Bet In NFL?

A parlay bet in the NFL is when you combine multiple straight bets into one single bet. Every pick within the parlay must win for the ticket to cash, but the odds also increase in line with the risk of adding more picks, making them fruitful if they hit.

Can You Parlay NFL Futures?

You can parlay certain NFL futures before and during the season, but it will vary from sportsbook to sportsbook. One example would be division winners, you can try to hit a big parlay and predict all 8 division winners in a season. Some sportsbooks will also allow you to parlay Player Awards such as Offensive and Defensive Rookie of The Year.

Are NFL Parlays Worth It?

Parlays can be worth it, but it’s also worth keeping in mind that the more picks you have in a parlay the harder it will be to win. However, with the odds of each individual pick multiplying to give you the parlay odds, it allows you to bet smaller units to try and win bigger returns than a straight wager.

What Are The Disadvantages Of A Parlay?

The disadvantage of a parlay is its difficulty to win. While the odds are often great, adding each pick will also increase the risk of the bet winning as every selection has to win for the ticket to cash, a single losing leg with 5 winning ones still returns $0.

Why Are Parlays So Popular?

Parlays are popular because they offer the opportunity of betting small and win big. For example, if you were to parlay 6 teams against the spread, you should expect odds of around +4500 meaning a $50 bet would return $2,300.
