Week 14 of the 2025 NFL campaign wraps up with a Monday Night Football showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Chargers. Both teams are 8-4, but neither is really where it wants to be at this point in the season. Philadelphia has left the door open in the NFC East due to a current 2-game losing streak, while Los Angeles is 2 games behind Denver in the AFC West.
Here is my Same Game Parlay for the festivities, which get underway at 8:15 pm ET on ESPN. Also be sure to check out our full Eagles vs Chargers predictions.
Chargers ML (+120)
Omarion Hampton to score a touchdown (+165)
Saquon Barkley to score a touchdown (+110)
Parlay odds: +1000
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 some of the plan here, as Los Angeles running back Omarion Hampton scoring a touchdown would obviously work well with a Chargers win. At the same time, plays that aren’t correlated drive up the overall payout of the parlay. That is the case with backing Philadelphia running back Saquon Barkley to also find the endzone. But even if he does, there is no reason why the home team can’t get the job done. Let’s break down each of the 3 legs.
Chargers ML (+120)
It’s starting to feel like the second half of the 2023 season, which went entirely off the rails for Philadelphia. We certainly haven’t reached that point quite yet in 2025, but things are starting to go haywire. The Eagles will still probably win their division because nobody else is any good, but the bottom line is that they aren’t playing well. Even prior to their current 2-game skid, the Birds scored a combined 26 points in unceremonious victories over Green Bay and Detroit. Saquon Barkley is not doing much of anything, Jalen Hurts is struggling and AJ Brown is disgruntled. It’s simply impossible to have any faith in this offense. Los Angeles had been dealing with its own problems on that side of the ball, but the offensive line is getting healthier and Hampton has recovered from his ankle issue. He immediately gets to face a Philly defense that got run all over by Chicago on Black Friday. Assuming that Justin Hebert will be under center despite a hand injury (non-throwing), L.A. has great value as an underdog. A home game against an opponent from 3 time zones away will only help the Bolts’ chances.
Omarion Hampton to score a touchdown (+165)
Hampton is finally back from his ankle injury and will play for the first time since Week 5. Before going down, the rookie out of North Carolina had 66 carries for 314 yards and 2 touchdowns in addition to 136 receiving yards. Hampton, a first-round selection, was coming up big for the Chargers. He should pick up right where he left off given that he has a favorable matchup on Monday. The Eagles‘ defense has not been great against the run all season long and was especially poor in that department against the Bears. Philly has surrendered 14 touchdowns on the ground – even more than its 12 passing TDs allowed. In fact, both the Eagles and Chargers are 2 of only 3 teams in the entire NFL who have given up more rushing touchdowns than passing.
Saquon Barkley to score a touchdown (+110)
It’s probably time to give up on Barkley ever turning in the type of huge performances that he delivered so many times during the 2024 campaign. However, asking him to simply get into the endzone on Monday should not be too much. As mentioned above, the Bolts also allow an unusual number of scores on the ground – 14, compared to 12 through the air. Although Barkley has underwhelmed for the most part this year, he has still produced a respectable 6 TDs (4 rushing, 2 receiving).
