TB Buccaneers @ HOU Texans · Point Spread

HOU Texans -3.0

Reasoning

Our Analysis

Both Tampa Bay and Houston impressed in Week 1, albeit for different reasons. The Texans didn’t get a win but that doesn’t mean it was all bad news. Their defense looked in heavyweight form, limiting the Rams to just 74 rushing yards and they were in Matthew Stafford’s face for 4 quarters. Stafford and an elite group of receivers eventually figured it out enough to put up 2 touchdowns, but the Rams couldn’t eke out a score in the 1st or 4th quarters. Houston’s offense is a different story.

Surprisingly, they ran for 114 yards, but CJ Stroud faced much of the same pressure that stunted his 2024 progress. Sacked 3 times and just 2-9 in 3rd downs, Stroud struggled to accelerate his offense’s production when the team needed it most. To be fair, they were up against an underrated Rams defense, one that plainly exhibited its scary potential in Week 1. But Stroud wasn’t happy, telling the media that it was a “wake-up call.” The Texans’ chances of making any noise this season feel decreased already, with no evidence suggesting things will change along their offensive line.

However, Monday night’s contest may offer a better opportunity. Tampa’s offense is capable of explosive plays, but they didn’t quite look like themselves in Week 1. Perhaps the loss of Liam Coen and/or the absence of Tristan Wirfs (currently recovering from a knee surgery), by far the most important piece of their offensive line, matter more than we thought. Baker still managed to overcome a feisty Atlanta defense and win on Sunday, but they were considerably outgained (258-360). Speaking of which, Michael Penix Jr. threw all over the Bucs defense last Sunday with 298 yards on 7 yards per pass. Tampa’s defensive line, a group that struggled last season, mustered just 1 sack and 3 QB hits. They were stingy against the run, but the Bucs looked below average against the pass. At home and with Stroud rallying the troops, we like the Texans to come out on fire, from the 1st quarter, and that should make all the difference.

LA Chargers @ LV Raiders · Point Spread

LA Chargers -3.0

Reasoning

Our Analysis

The data doesn’t do justice to how well Justin Herbert and the Chargers played last Friday night. Battling their divisional foe and reigning AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs, the Chargers conquered their foe in methodical fashion. Herbert played one of the greatest games of his career, answering the Chiefs at every turn, leading scoring drives in every quarter. Along the way, the LA defense recorded 8 quarterback hits, 2 sacks, 3 tackles for a loss and 4 deflected passes. Jim Harbaugh’s defense was flying all over the field, unrelenting in their pursuit of the ball and permitting just 5 out of 14 conversion on Kansas City’s 3rd downs. It was a comprehensive showing from the Chargers and a startling indication of Harbaugh’s impact on the franchise. Herbert looked different, more confident and aggressive, and it made the Bolts feel like a legitimate Super Bowl contender. We were extremely impressed.

Harbaugh and Herbert now bring their roster to Las Vegas, against a Raiders team that also looked better than expected in Week 1. Of course, Pete Carroll’s new team was facing a Patriots program that had a ton of new parts, including a young quarterback only in his 2nd season. Raiders’ QB Geno Smith again proved why Carroll views him as such a valuable asset, carrying the offense on his shoulders and maintaining a lead throughout the game, even in hostile territory. Eventually the Patriots slowly caught up and the game was close at the end, but Vegas held on in an otherwise uneventful opener. In truth, besides a crisp performance by Geno Smith, it was a sloppy game. The Raiders got off to a nice start, but it wasn’t nearly as impressive as what we saw from the Chargers. With momentum and renewed optimism in the direction of their franchise, we love the Chargers to cover a short line.

Buccaneers vs Texans MNF Same Game Parlay

Point Spread

HOU Texans -2.5

Anytime Touchdown Scorer

N. Collins (HOU) to score a TD

Player Passing Yards

B. Mayfield (TB) - 250+ pass yds

Reasoning

Houston Texans -2.5 over Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-115)

Houston may have lost in Week 1, but its defense was outstanding. It limited the Rams to 84 rushing yards and constantly had Matthew Stafford under pressure. We know what C.J. Stroud and the Texans’ offense are capable of producing when things are clicking, so it’s only a matter of time before this team is a well-oiled machine on both sides of the ball. That’s to say the Texans will put it entirely all together in Week 2, but offensive improvement can be expected.

Tampa Bay’s defense struggled against the pass last Sunday, watching Atlanta quarterback Michael Penix Jr. throw for 298 yards. The Buccaneers recorded just 1 sack and 3 QB hits. On the other side of the ball, the visitors are still without offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs and receiver Chris Godwin. Wirfs is arguably the best at his position in the entire NFL and Godwin – even though Emeka Egbuka looks like an extremely promising rookie – is a very reliable weapon for Baker Mayfield in the passing game. Let’s go with the Texans and give the 2.5 points.

Nico Collins to score a touchdown (+140)

There is good value on Collins to find the end zone well into plus money. The former Michigan standout scored 7 touchdowns in 12 regular-season games last year and then made 12 catches on 16 targets for 203 yards and 1 TD in a pair of playoff appearances. That sample size of success is obviously much larger than Collins’ relatively quiet performance last weekend. There is no reason to fret over a stout Rams defense keeping him under wraps. The Buccaneers, who ranked 29th in passing defense in 2024 and surrendered 27 touchdowns through the air, are unlikely to do the same.

Baker Mayfield to record 250+ passing yards (+124)

This actually doesn’t conflict much with backing the Texans to win and cover, because Mayfield will have to air it out if his team is playing from behind. Let’s hope Houston jumps out to a quick lead and forces Mayfield to hit the airwaves. If that happens, the Oklahoma product should be able to victimize the opposing secondary. Houston held the Rams to 14 points last weekend, but it gave up 224 passing yards on 8.4 yards per attempt. Mayfield did not do much in the way of yardage during Tampa Bay’s Week 1 win over Atlanta, but he at least tossed 3 touchdowns without getting picked off. He is playing with confidence, which should lead to another productive performance on MNF.

J. Herbert (LAC) - Over 17.5 rush yds

Reasoning

Las Vegas Raiders +3.5 over LA Chargers (-110)

Both of these teams were very strong in Week 1, but I came away more impressed with what the Raiders brought to the table in their win over the Patriots. Las Vegas is a team that I was already looking to buy this season, and it’s clear through one game that the Raiders are a very well-coached unit on both sides of the ball. The upgrades on offense — specifically at the quarterback position — are as significant an improvement as any team had across the league this offseason, and Geno Smith’s impact on the offense clearly showed in Week 1.

The Chargers are coming off a great victory against the Chiefs, but given how Kansas City has looked through its first 2 games, that might not be as impressive a win as it would’ve been in years past. In a game between division rivals that should be close throughout, we’ll take Las Vegas to cover this short number as home underdogs.

Under 46.5 (-110)

While the Chargers are the team more known for their defense in this matchup, there was plenty to like about Las Vegas’ defensive performance in Week 1. In fact, the Raiders sacked Drake Maye 4 times and permitted just 60 rushing yards on the road. Las Vegas was also good when it mattered, as it limited the Patriots to just 1-of-3 in the red zone and 4-of-14 on 3rd down in the Week 1 victory.

As for the Chargers, we know that Jim Harbaugh teams tend to emphasize running the football and playing at a deliberate pace. Even with Justin Herbert’s stellar performance a week ago, there could still be some growing pains for the new pieces in this Los Angeles offense in the 2nd year of Greg Roman’s system, especially on the road. Look for both teams to take small steps back offensively on MNF.

Justin Herbert over 17.5 rushing yards (-108)

To close out our Chargers vs Raiders Same Game Parlay, let’s target Justin Herbert to clear his rushing yards prop for the 2nd consecutive week. It appears as if the former Oregon quarterback has a bit more room and leeway to operate within Roman’s system this year, and that certainly showed against the Chiefs. Herbert finished with 7 carries for 32 yards in that game, including a pivotal conversion on 3rd and long, using his legs to close out the contest. Look for him to continue to ramp up the usage with his legs in another important divisional matchup. I’ll gladly play the over at the current number.

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, but potentially most 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. However, the nature of parlay betting means the wins you do get turns more profit.

Here are some 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. Multiple sportsbooks and NFL betting experts report the win rate of 2-leg NFL parlays to be 49-52%, while 3-legs hit at about 27-30%, 4-legs at 15% and 5+ legs are successful less than 10% of the time.
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.
Avoid same-side NFL Parlays – Although popular amongst NFL bettors, parlaying heavy favorites or multiple overs bets for example, are loved by sportsbooks as they generally offer very poor value to the bettor.
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 NFL teaser 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 can be parlayed with 2,3,4,5 teams or more. NFL Teasers are a significant way to boost your parlays win probability as around 25% of NFL games end with a margin of exactly 3 or 7 points, so crossing those margins offers great value.

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.

There are some restrictions or odds adjustments on correlated bets within a same-game parlay but it’s still a great way to improve the probability of your NFL parlays being successful in the long-term.

How To 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.

To bet on a same game parlay simply head to your preferred online Sportsbook, or where you can get the best odds for your picks. Unsure of the best online sportsbook for the NFL? Check out our guide to the best NFL betting sites today.

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.
