The 2021 NFL season has been great so far, and we have another exciting slate on Sunday for Week 10. Why not celebrate the fun by going for a big payday? That’s right; we’re back with another mega parlay, NFL edition. I have had a ton of success with these mega parlays, and even hit one at 74/1 in Week 13 last year.

We’re going big and bold again, so let’s not waste any more time. But before we dive in, don’t forget to check out our picks for the side and total on every NFL game.

Atlanta Falcons ML (+325)

Saints @ Titans under 44.5 (-110)

Minnesota Vikings ML (+145)

Parlay odds: +1878

Let’s break down each of the three legs one by one.

Atlanta Falcons ML (+325) over Dallas Cowboys

The Falcons came through for us as part of our mega parlay in Week 9 with an upset (+200) win over the Saints. Now, I think they’ve got a very good shot to pull off a second consecutive money line upset. Dallas got exposed by the Broncos last week, and in hindsight it’s clear they were never as good as they were made out to be. The warning signs were there, like when they gave up 29 points to the Pats a few weeks ago or when they surrendered 28 to the Panthers shortly before that.

Sam Darnold moved the ball all game long on them, and that was right before he started playing like the worst quarterback in the league. Atlanta isn’t nearly as bad as most people think, and it has now won three of four. Matt Ryan is quietly playing at a really high level. Star left tackle Tyron Smith is also out again for the Cowboys, which is a huge loss.

Saints @ Titans under 44.5 (-110)

I’m going with a total for the second leg of our mega parlay. The total for the Falcons/Saints game closed around 42. I’m not sure why the total for this one would be significantly higher considering the Falcons probably have a better offense but worse defense than the Titans. New Orleans already had virtually no weapons, and now Alvin Kamara has been ruled out for this one. Trevor Siemian looked decent enough at home against a mediocre Falcons defense.

Now he will have to go on the road into a hostile environment to face a Titans defense that is peaking at the right time. Tennessee completely dominated Matthew Stafford and the Rams last week and also held the Chiefs to only three points recently. Harold Landry is getting a ton of pressure off the edge and the Saints are going to be without crucial offensive tackle Terron Armstead.

Minnesota Vikings ML (+145) over Los Angeles Chargers

To wrap this mega parlay up and hopefully bring us home we’ve got one more money line ‘dog. The Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota has been somewhat of a dumpster fire all season, but it has some matchup advantages here. The Vikings’ system works best when they can run the ball well, and the Chargers have one of the league’s worst run defenses. Mike Zimmer’s squad should be much better than 3-5, and they’ve already lost multiple games in overtime.

The Chargers are still without starting cornerback Michael Davis, and have had a bunch of injuries in their secondary. Justin Herbert rebounded last week against the Eagles, but in their previous two games the Chargers’ offense had looked terrible. The Vikings still have all the talent in the world. There’s a reason they were beating Baltimore by 14 on the road in the second half last week.
