Best NFL Same Game Parlay Bet Today: Lions vs. 49ers @ +725 odds on 1/28

The San Francisco 49ers are one win away from the Super Bowl. Will they get there? I think they do.

More importantly, how does it happen?

I’ve put together a three-leg Same Game Parlay which is counting on the 49ers covering the spread of more than a touchdown, along with some solid yardage totals from a pair of Lions.

Check out the parlay, which pays out at +725 from BetMGM, along with my rationale below.

Spread: 49ers -7.5
Player prop bets: Jared Goff over 249.5 passing yards; Jahmyr Gibbs over 54.5 rushing yards
Parlay odds: +725 odds at BetMGM

Leg 1: 49ers cover -7.5 spread

• The 49ers are No. 1 in offensive efficiency this season while the Lions are only No. 13 on defense
• Detroit won many games by one possession this season and lost by 32 points to the Ravens, who are on the same level as San Francisco
• 49ers WR Deebo Samuel has been cleared to play, giving the 49ers their full complement of offensive stars

Leg 2: Lions QB Jared Goff over 249.5 passing yards

• Goff is averaging 269 passing yards per game this season
• The 49ers have a top-5 pass defense but a lot of that is due to the pass-rush, and the Lions have the personnel to keep Goff from being under constant duress
• The Lions may need to throw a lot down the stretch if they find themselves down double digits, and Goff could rack up the yards

Leg 3: Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs over 54.5 rushing yards

• Gibbs is averaging 5.2 yards per carry this season and despite being a rookie, should be trusted at this point in the season
• The 49ers have an elite defense but they are average against the run, giving up 4.1 yards per carry
• Volume is a concern with David Montgomery sharing rushing attempts, but Gibbs is a dynamic piece that the Lions should feed with a Super Bowl berth on the line
