It’s Sunday, which means it’s time for some picks. Each week I pick a same game parlay (SGP) or two and then I also pick the moneyline for each game that day. Our games of the week are the Raiders vs. Chiefs and the Cardinals vs. Rams.
Raiders vs. Chiefs Parlay
Darren Waller is now out. In order for Derek Carr to keep up his passing game, Hunter Renfrow could benefit. I’m picking both of their yards as part of my parlay.
The Raiders struggle against tight ends, Kansas City likes tight ends, and Travis Kelce is going to continue to stick it to Las Vegas. I’m adding his yards to my parlay. This game could go a couple different ways. I’m hoping the Raiders stay in it long enough to use their offense.
Cardinals vs. Rams Parlay
Two high powered offenses so I’m going with the over in this one. They scored a total of 57 points last time they met. Even though their defenses are looking good, I’m looking for an entertaining Monday night game.
Passing yards for Matthew are pretty high, but I’m expecting a lot of offense. The hard part is he has so many options so I’m not feeling confident on who to target.
For the Cardinals, James Conner has scored 12 touchdowns in as many games. It may be a little risky, but two of those came against the Rams earlier this year and running will only help them out. To round things out, I’m going to add DeAndre Hopkins yards. He came back last week at the same time as Kyler Murray and they connected nicely with a 20 yard touchdown.
Sunday Moneyline Picks
For the most part, I’m picking who is supposed to win this week. We are far enough in, teams are showing who they really are.
Chiefs over Raiders – I have to go with Kansas City. Whatever their issue was, they are back. Even with a heavy Raiders bias in my house, Chiefs pulling it off at home.
Saints over Jets
Ravens over Browns
Panthers over Falcons
Washington over Cowboys – Washington looked good last week and have won four in a row.
Seattle over Houston
Broncos over Lions – This one was tough, I love an underdog. I think the Lions sparked a fire and the Broncos are beatable, but playing it safe.
Chargers over Giants
49ers over Bengals – I like how both teams have been playing, but Burrow does have a banged up finger.
Bucs over Bills
Packers over Bears
+15,483
Now what I find fun is to combine these all together into their own parlay. It can get to be ridiculous odds, so even just $1 could pay out well.
