Best NFL Same Game Parlay Bet Today: Bengals vs. Ravens @ +400 odds on 11/16
It’s a monster matchup in the AFC as the Bengals travel to face the Ravens on Thursday Night Football. The Ravens are 3.5-point favorites and I like them to cover that spread, but we are thinking bigger today.
It’s time for a Same Game Parlay, where I’ll be combining three different NFL picks in hopes of cashing a bet at +400 odds through BetMGM. Check out the SGP pick and my rationale below.
(Quick aside: BetMGM often has promotions for SGP insurance, which gives money back in bonus bets for a miss, or allows one leg to come off the bet if it doesn’t hit. Keep an eye on those promotions when doing a Same Game Parlay.)
Spread Bet: Ravens -3.5
Player Prop Bets: Ravens RB Gus Edwards 45+ rushing yards; Bengals WR Trenton Irwin under 39.5 receiving yards
Parlay odds: +400 at BetMGM
Leg 1: Baltimore Ravens to Cover the Spread
- The Ravens are No. 1 in Team DVOA, which includes Top-5 marks on both sides of the ball
- Prior to last week's stunning loss to the Browns, Baltimore won recent home games over the Lions and Seahawks by a combined score of 75-9
- The Bengals struggle to stop the run, which is what the Ravens do best
Leg 2: Ravens RB Gus Edwards 45+ Rushing Yards
- The Bengals are giving up 136.2 rushing yards per game and 5.0 yards per carry
- Edwards has been low rushing attempt numbers the past two games but there is no reason to be concerned about a continued downturn in touches
- Even though Lamar Jackson siphons carries, Edwards is averaging 50.2 rushing yards per game
Leg 3: Bengals WR Trenton Irwin Under 39.5 Receiving Yards
- Irwin will get an uptick in playing time with Tee Higgins out but is still a third option behind Ja’Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd
- Irwin has only caught more than two passes in one game this season and has four without a reception
- Although the Ravens will likely be without star cornerback Marlon Humphrey, it’s still a group that is allowing only 4.2 net yards per pass attempt, best in the NFL
Bengals vs. Ravens Same Game Parlay Betting Prediction
- Ravens -3.5
- Ravens RB Gus Edwards 45+ rushing yards
- Bengals WR Trenton Irwin under 39.5 receiving yards
