NFL Same Game Parlay Odds & Picks: Bears vs. Buccaneers

Bears @ Buccaneers

  • Leg 1: Buccaneers -2.5 (-120)
  • Leg 2: Baker Mayfield O224.5 Passing Yards (-115)
  • Leg 3: Roschon Johnson Anytime TD (+450)

This is the longest shot of the week, but I think there’s serious value here. Coming into the season, many thought the Buccaneers were on the front end of a rebuild. Baker Mayfield surprised many last week by leading Tampa Bay to a road win in Minnesota last week, and the Buccaneers are now favored to start the season 2-0. While Mayfield didn’t put up a huge game in the air (173 passing yards), I expect him to have a nice day against a Bears defense that allowed 245 passing yards to Jordan Love last week. Given the Bears’ struggles and the fact that the Buccaneers may be better than most thought, I like Tampa Bay to win at home in Week 2.

While the Bucs should win the game, Roschon Johnson is wildly underpriced to score a TD. Johnson only got five carries last week, but he did receive two red zone carries. He was the only Bears RB to receive a red zone carry last week. Johnson also added six catches for 35 yards. Given that Johnson appears to be the Bears’ short-yardage back and has opportunities in the passing game, it’s not unlikely that he will score a TD on Sunday. There’s a negative correlation here with the Buccaneers’ leg of the parlay, so we can get some juicy odds with these three valuable plays.

What is a Same Game Parlay?

Parlays have gained popularity because of the potential that they provide to the bettor to make large sums of money without having to provide the cash up-front that it would take to make the same amount if you were to bet each game individually. With the increase in popularity and money coming into the sportsbooks, FanDuel rolled out the Same Game Parlay, and other sportsbooks soon followed.

The same game parlay brings the elements of the parlay into one single game. They offer a ton of options within the same game to allow the bettor to be able to take these options and combine them within one game.
