Raiders vs. Bengals Same Game NFL Parlay Picks

The first step is finding which sport you are going to wager on, so the banner at the top of the screen has the sports separated. Once you are on the NFL page, it is super simple to customize what you are looking for as far as teams and players on the left-hand side of the page.

Now, if you miss one of the odds highlighted in the article because it changed, do not worry. The lines do not always stay the same as they are updated every two minutes. There will be examples of when you can still wager based on the Awesemo projections. It is also easy to sort the props by what style you want to bet them, meaning that you can choose the highest ROI or the highest expected win rate.

Generally, the best approach is a mix of the highest ROI and expected win rate, and this process should take under 30 seconds to filter what you are looking for. The highlighted wagers in the article can also be bet individually, so if the parlay misses by one leg, it is not a total loss. Let’s find out what the best-projected bets are for Saturday and build some NFL parlay picks.

Joe Burrow Over 261.5 Yards Passing (Caesars New York Betting Offer)

Joe Burrow is one of the hottest quarterbacks in the playoffs, as he finished the last two games he played tearing apart opposing defenses for over 900 yards and eight touchdowns. Las Vegas has the 21st-ranked DVOA against the pass, and Burrow threw for 4,611 yards on the year, sixth most in the NFL. That averaged out to 288.2 yards per game, and he was first in yards per attempt and second in true completion rate. The impressive part is he only ranked 15th in attempts, and the eighth-best completion rate on deep attempts helped get his yards to such gaudy numbers. The line is too low, even with some cold weather having potential effects on the passing game, and OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 62%. It also helps that the Raiders allowed the 10th-highest completion rate (66%) this season to opposing quarterbacks.

Ja’Marr Chase Over 70.5 Yards Receiving (FanDuel New York Betting Offer)

Just like Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase has his line set rather far away from his seasonal average of 85.6 yards per game. OddsShopper gives him the highest expected win rate of any receiver at 59% and has him projected for 82 yards on the nose. If Burrow is to throw for his yardage prop, Chase would almost certainly have to be a large part of the reason he gets there. Among receivers, Chase finished second in yards per reception (18), third in yards per target (11.4) and eighth in yards run per route (2.71). Raiders corner Casey Hayward had a strong year with just a 58.8% catch rate, but he also did allow 7.7 yards per target, which ranked 85th. It may not take Chase many receptions to clear this mark, and he goes hand-in-hand with Burrow.

Joe Mixon Over 76.5 Yards Rushing (DraftKings New York Betting Offer)

The parlay is heavy on the Bengals side, but they enter the game as 5-point favorites, and these players are the core of the offense. Joe Mixon finished the season third in carries (292) and yards rushing (1,205), and that averaged out to 18.3 carries per game and 75.3 yards rushing per game. OddsShopper has him projected for 99 yards rushing and the highest expected win rate of any Bengals player (64%). Las Vegas was 10th in DVOA against the run and 10th in yards per attempt allowed, but that was still 4.2 yards per attempt. As the home favorite, Mixon should have his normal workload, and the gap between projected yards and where his line is simply is too far apart to ignore.

Darren Waller Over 4.5 Receptions (Caesars New York Betting Offer)

The spread and projected game script would point towards the Raiders throwing the ball a good amount during this game. They have to be ecstatic to get Darren Waller back, and he saw nine targets in his return to action last week. While he only caught two of them, it is notable that the Bengals are in the bottom 10 in receptions and yards allowed to the tight end position. The DVOA against the pass for the Bengals was just 24th, and that is something the Raiders passing game can exploit. Waller only played 11 games, but he had 55 receptions and a 24.2% target share, the third highest for a tight end. Waller has the highest expected win rate of the four-leg parlay (68%), and the Awesemo Parlay Calculator gives it a return of +972.
