- A parlay is a wager on multiple games all placed into a single bet. In theory the payout for a 2-team parlay is the same as if you bet one game, collected your winnings plus stake, and then bet the winnings plus stake on a second game.
- If multiple games are going on at the same time and you don't have enough money to make straight bets on each game, a parlay bet is a way to get action on each game. To put a parlay win into perspective, lets use a 5 game parlay as an example. If you made 5 straight bets for $22 each ($110 total wagered) and won all of them, you would win $20.
A Parlay is a Bet that Contains 2 to 12 Selections that are Linked Together to Provide a Higher Potential Payout. If one or more of the Selections Loses, the Entire Bet is Lost. More on Parlay Payout. Jan 21, 2019 For example, if you parlay one game against the spread at -110 and another against the money line at +250, and both win, then you will be paid (210/110)×(350/100) - 1 = 5.68 to 1. With the exception of the three-leg parlay, and the generous Jerry's Nugget odds, you will get a better value mixing in at least one leg not at -110 in a parlay. If you are going to bet parlays, always check the payouts as the odds vary from site to site but generally, they payout about 2.6/1 for a two teamer and 6/1 for a 3-teamer using Standard -110.
With Week 1 in the books, adjustments will be made in Week 2 and it is up to us to not overreact to what we saw. There is some real value available and we will look to make a parlay to cash in on some Week 2 action.
Buffalo Bills vs. Miami Dolphins
Sunday, September 20, 2020 – 01:00 PM EDT at Hard Rock Stadium
Bills Look To Build Off Strong Start
Before Week 1, the Buffalo Bills had the best odds to win the AFC East for the first time in two plus decades. They took care of business in Week 1 against a team that they are supposed to beat. If you're going to win your division, you need to beat your direct rivals so a win against the Jets was a great way to start the season. Considering how the Patriots looked in their opener, winning the division might be a little more complicated than previously thought.
That said, the Bills have another chance to stake their claim for a division title on Sunday against another AFC East foe, the Miami Dolphins. This line opened at Buffalo -3 on the NFL odds board and has been bet all the way up to -6 at some of the top online sports betting sites. I'm taking the Bills -5.5 (-110) which is available at BetOnline. I'm still not comfortable laying too many points with the Bills but I think their defense has enough of an advantage to win this game. The Bills' new-look offense looked good and the combination of their elite defense with their improved offense gives me confidence that they will do enough to cover this spread against Miami.
Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers
Sunday, September 20, 2020 - 01:00 PM EDT at Lambeau Field
Aaron Rodgers Looks Focused
The best quarterback in the game is a debate that rages on every season. Most people will say that it's Patrick Mahomes and that's a fair pick. In my opinion, if he's 100% healthy, Aaron Rodgers is still the best quarterback in the NFL. The Green Bay Packers as an organization have done a pathetic job in terms of surrounding Rodgers with offensive talent. In their defense, the current version of their team does do one thing that Rodgers has never really benefited from; they play defense and run the ball.
Last year, the Packers were good but they weren't great yet they were able to win 13 games and made it to within one game of the Super Bowl. Although they were disappointing against the 49ers in that game, the Packers have a ton of reason to be optimistic. They brought back the same group with a full year of coach Matt LaFleur's system under their belt. It also appears that Rodgers and LaFleur are finally on the same page after a bit of initial friction.
The truth of the matter is, LaFleur wants to run the ball and if he can do that successfully, it will make Rodgers unstoppable. It will also mean that Rodgers has to be perfect for his team to win which has been the case for most of his career. The injuries were starting to pile up for Rodgers and that was a direct result of the fact that he always had to drop back to pass for this team to win.
The Packers are favored by less than a touchdown in a game they will be fired up to win. They know that winning the AFC North is their easiest path to the Super Bowl and they started off the season with a win over the 2nd best team in the division. If they beat the Lions in Week 2, they will be well on their way to establishing themselves as kings of the north. As for the spread, I'm taking the Packers -6 (-110) with my NFL picks at BetOnline.
I'm parlaying the Packers with the Bills in two division battles. I can see both teams picking up where they left off. They both have big-time advantages on one side of the ball (Bills defense, Packers offense) and I see that being just enough for both to cover these spreads this weekend in their respective division battles.

Titans +7.5 (-115) vs. Chiefs
No way you can take the Chiefs at -7.5 against a Titans team that beat them 35-32 at Arrowhead Stadium in Week 10 and who's best player—RB Derrick Henry—tramples them. In three career games against the Chiefs, Henry has 402 rushing yards with five touchdowns on a staggering 7.3 yards per carry. The Titans are 3-0 in those games, including a 22-21 win in the 2018 Wild Card Round. While QB Ryan Tannehill hasn't been asked to do a lot in the Titans' first two playoff games, he did lead the NFL in QB rating and yards per attempt, and was third in completion percentage in the regular season.
On the other side, Chiefs' all-world QB Patrick Mahomes activated legend mode in their 51-31 beatdown of the Houston Texans in the Divisional Round. After falling behind 24-0, Mahomes lit up the Texans with four passing touchdowns in the second quarter and finished with five passing touchdowns and 374 total yards. The Chiefs just have too many ways they can win, plus a long-overdue return to the Super Bowl for Reid, to predict a Titans upset.
But, the Titans already had their way with the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots and No.1 seed Baltimore Ravens in these playoffs. While Mahomes' magic will advance the Chiefs to the Super Bowl, Tennessee has too much going for it in this game to not BET TITANS +7.5 (-121).

49ers -7.5 (-110) vs. Packers
The 49ers dismantled the Minnesota Vikings, 27-10, and the Packers held on to beat the Seattle Seahawks 28-23 in the Divisional Round; however, it's tough envisioning a different result in this game than the 37-8 stomping the 49ers put on the Packers in Week 12 at Levi's Stadium. Both teams were among the NFL's top teams against the spread this season—the Packers had an 11-6 ATS record and the 49ers were 10-6-1—but San Francisco has clear statistical advantages.
The Packers' 23rd-ranked rush defense could be in serious trouble against a 49ers team ranked second in rushing yards. Also, the 49ers should be able to keep the secondary in coverage and get pressure on the quarterback in obvious passing situations. San Francisco has the fourth-lowest blitz percentage but the second-highest percentage of quarterback pressures, which will make it insanely difficult for Packers QB Aaron Rodgers to connect with a thin wide receiver corps outside of Davante Adams.
If the 49ers can dominate both sides of the ball, the Packers will need Rodgers' wizardry to pull off the road upset. I don't see it because Rodgers has looked like a mere mortal this season. TAKE 49ERS -7.5 (-110).
