NFL Parlays for Week 5: Potential NFL Parlay Odds & Payouts
Potential parlays and payouts for NFL Week 5 from BetMGM
After an exciting Week 4 with plenty of games coming down to the wire, NFL odds are out for Week 5.
From a solid matchup on Thursday night (Broncos vs. Colts) to a divisional matchup on Monday night (Chiefs vs. Raiders), there are plenty of opportunities for NFL parlays.
Revenge of the Overs
Bets: Baltimore Ravens vs. Cincinnati Bengals Over 48.5, Buffalo Bills vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Over 47.5
Odds: +264
Payout: $364.46 on $100 bet
There was some regulation on the totals in Week 4, with eight games going over the number and Monday Night Football still undecided. I am expecting more momentum on overs in Week 5. and here are two contests that could see an abundance of points.
The Baltimore Ravens contained the Buffalo Bills for most of Sunday’s 23-20 loss, but that has been the exception this season and not the rule. Entering Week 4, the Ravens had given up more yards than any other squad, making them natural regression candidates against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Bengals’ offense is gaining steam, and the Ravens have scored in bunches throughout the season. That could send this contest over sooner rather than later.
Kenny Pickett stepped onto the field Sunday against the New York Jets, immediately upgrading the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense. However, their defense is struggling without T.J. Watt anchoring the front seven.
Pittsburgh couldn’t stop the New York Jets or Cleveland Browns, leaving them no chance of containing the Buffalo Bills. With Pickett under center, there should be some increased scoring and a game that goes over the 46.5 total.
Touchdown Underdogs
Bets: Minnesota Vikings vs. Chicago Bears +7, Green Bay Packers vs. New York Giants +7.5
Odds: +264
Payout: $364.46 on $100 bet
Perennially, the Minnesota Vikings underwhelm. The Vikings got lucky in London, needing a double-doink to keep a last-second field goal attempt from Wil Lutz from sending them to their second loss of the season.
Similarly, they needed a 14-point fourth quarter in Week 3 to get past the Detroit Lions. They have a porous defense, and year after year, Kirk Cousins does just enough to get by as a starter. Although the Chicago Bears haven’t looked good either, their defense has kept things close week in and week out. These teams deserve each other, and a full touchdown is too much.
Similarly, the Green Bay Packers’ offseason decisions are sinking the team.
The Packers have a mediocre offense, but their missed opportunities every week have yet to come back to haunt Aaron Rodgers and company. That’s not conducive to covering the +7.5 spread against the upstart New York Giants. Saquon Barkley is finally living up to his billing and should help the Giants keep things close, if not win outright.
Underdog Parlay
Bets: Cleveland Browns +135 vs. Los Angeles Chargers, New York Jets +125 vs. Miami Dolphins
Odds: +428
Payout: $528.75 on $100 bet
The Los Angeles Chargers have had some demanding travel arrangements early this season. The AFC West contenders will be playing their third road game in four weeks. More notably, the Chargers haven’t been effective to start the season, getting trounced by the Jacksonville Jaguars and making the Houston Texans look better than they are.
The Cleveland Browns’ defensive line was in shambles against the Atlanta Falcons but should be in better shape against the Chargers. Cleveland has surprised a few opponents this season, and the Chargers aren’t in a team-friendly spot.
The Miami Dolphins will have to overcome the potential for Tua Tagovailoa to miss the game, but there is more at play ahead of their AFC East showdown against the Jets. The Dolphins’ defensive metrics are still due for correction, as their points against don’t accurately reflect the yards they are hemorrhaging.
Zach Wilson looked good in his season debut, and the Jets’ defense is proving adequate. Bottling up a backup quarterback could be the advantage they need to get to 3-2 early this season.
