Thursday’s Best NFL Same Game Parlay Bets

Leg 1: Josh Allen 250+ Passing Yards

Josh Allen has hit this number in four of the Bills’ seven games this year, including three out of four home games. The only one that didn’t come close was the Monday night game against the Giants in Week 6.

After last week’s upset by the New England Patriots, Allen and the Bills will bounce back in a big way. They want to prove they are still a Super Bowl contending team. 

The Buccaneers have allowed four opposing QBs to hit 250+ passing yards (Kirk Cousins, Jalen Hurts, Jared Goff, and Desmond Ridder), with Derek Carr and Justin Fields are the only two that failed.

Leg 2: Stefon Diggs 70+ Receiving Yards

If we take Josh Allen’s over, it makes sense to also take the over on his favorite target. 

Stefon Diggs surpassed 70+ receiving yards in five of seven games. In the other two games, he finished with 66 and 58 yards. Diggs is fourth in the NFL in targets per route run. Against other WRs that rank in the top 10, the Bucs’ defense allowed Amon-Ra St. Brown to have 124 yards and A.J. Brown to gain 131 yards.

Justin Jefferson and DJ Moore also had games with 100+ receiving yards against this Tampa defense. 

Leg 3: Stefon Diggs Anytime TD

Since we are expecting a big game from Allen and Diggs, we might as well cap it off with a TD. After starting the season with only one touchdown throughout the Bills’ first three games, Diggs has five TDs over their last four games.  

Leg 4: Baker Mayfield over 21.5 Completions

The run game has yet to be there for Mayfield and the Bucs, which makes their offense rely heavily on Baker Mayfield’s arm. 

Based on how I see this game going, Baker will have to throw the ball a ton if they want to keep up with the Bills. I think the Bills are coming out tonight with something to prove after an ugly loss to a divisional opponent. 

The Bills’ pass defense has allowed opposing QBs to hit this number in four straight games, including Mac Jones and Tyrod Taylor.
