Buccaneers vs. Cardinals: NFL Week 16 Christmas Day Same Game Parlay Odds, Picks & Predictions (2022)
Leg 1: Cardinals +10.5 (-150)
Despite a down year, the Buccaneers will take a massive step toward clinching a playoff berth out of the dismal NFC South with a win in this game. Theyâll be in a good spot to win going against Cardinalsâ third-string QB Trace McSorley. That said, Tampa Bay is having serious struggles on the road recently. Theyâve lost four straight road games, including a 28-point blowout loss to Brock Purdy and the 49ers last time they traveled to the west coast.
I donât think Arizona will win this game, but with a low total of 39.5 points and Tampa Bayâs recent road struggles I think theyâll at least keep things close. Tampa Bay has struggled on defense recently, and the Cardinalsâ offense should be able to post a respectable total and cover this alternate spread.
Leg 2: Russell Gage Anytime TD (+330)
This is a bit of a longshot play, but Russell Gageâs TD odds seem much higher than they should be given his usage. In an offense with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, Russell Gage has emerged as a premier red zone threat. Gage is tied for the Bucsâ lead in red zone targets, and leads the WR group in red zone TDs. Heâs coming off a 12 target, two TD week against a solid Bengals defense.
Given the inverse correlation with Cardinals +10.5, this play is a gutsy one, but it provides a massive boost to our parlay odds. This is a longshot worth taking.
