NFL Monday Night Football Same Game Parlay Picks: Bengals vs. Jaguars (Week 13)

The dynamics of this Week 13 have shifted since the beginning of the season. Once considered a preview of a potential AFC playoff matchup, it now features a Bengals team that is reeling without Joe Burrow against an 8-3 Jaguars team that is currently a candidate for the No. 1 seed in the AFC. With Cincinnati being somewhat unpredictable with Jake Browning under center, we’ll focus on Jacksonville for this week’s same game parlay picks.

Cincinnati Bengals at Jacksonville Jaguars

At the start of the season, we pinned this as a premiere AFC matchup, but that is no longer the case. The absence of Joe Burrow shows how important he is, as the offense has looked like a shell of itself since his season-ending injury. Trevor Lawrence looks better after dealing with a left knee sprain for a while, and we're seeing Calvin Ridley surge, as he has 192 receiving yards and three touchdowns in his last two games. The Jaguars are the heavy favorites for a reason, and at home, they’ll roll.

Evan Engram is one of Trevor Lawrence's go-to targets. The veteran tight end is second on the team in targets, leads them in catches and has recorded over four catches in eight of 11 games this season. This is a great opportunity against a favorable matchup, as the Bengals have allowed 6.3 catches per game to tight ends, the third-most in the league.

With how well the connection between Lawrence and Ridley has been, you have to continue to roll with it. The Bengals are 21st in receiving yards allowed to the wide receiver and are last in yards allowed per completion. Ridley has the size and speed to hit for a big play, and expect that against this Cincy defense.
