Best NFL Same Game Parlay Bet Today: Eagles vs. Buccaneers @ +600 odds on 1/15

The Eagles made the Super Bowl last season and started 2023 with a record of 10-1. 

Since then? Dumpster fire.

Philadelphia limps into the postseason looking nothing like its former juggernaut self, and will need a strong performance on Monday evening to avoid losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC wild card round.

The Eagles are three-point favorites but their defense is a major concern. I think the Buccaneers will succeed more than expected on offense in this game, which I’m using to guide my three-leg Same Game Parlay at +600 odds on FanDuel.

Here are the picks with the corresponding rationale.

Scoring total bet: Over 43.5 points
Player prop bets: Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield over 231.5 passing yards; Buccaneers TE Cade Otton 40+ receiving yards
Parlay odds: +600 odds at FanDuel

Leg 1: Scoring total over 43.5 points

• The Eagles have given up 25 points or more in six of their past seven games
• Philly is No. 29 in defensive DVOA and the mental errors are evident on tape
• Bucs QB Baker Mayfield finished No. 18 in Total QBR this season, better than projected, while the TB defense was middle of the pack

Leg 2: Baker Mayfield Over 231.5 Passing Yards

• Mayfield averaged 237.9 passing yards per game this season and faces an Eagles secondary that has struggled for weeks
• Mike Evans and Chris Godwin is a top-tier receiving duo that will help make plays for Mayfield
• The Buccaneers are slight underdogs and may have to throw late if they are behind

Leg 3: Buccaneers TE Cade Otton 40+ Receiving Yards

• Otton had 40+ receiving yards in six games this season
• The Eagles are one of the worst defenses in the NFL in covering tight ends
• Otton has not had big statistical games of late but is still playing about 95% of the offensive snaps, so the opportunity is there for this underdog play to hit
