Best NFL Same Game Parlay Bet Today: Saints vs. Rams @ +600 odds on 12/21

The Los Angeles Rams have busted out one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL over the past month, and I’m leaning into it for this Same Game Parlay.

Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua are one of the better pass-catching duos in the NFL, and while the stats say the Saints have a top-5 pass defense, they have faced an underwhelming slate of quarterbacks.

My money, literally, is on an impressive showing from Kupp, Nacua and Matthew Stafford on Thursday Night Football before the running game takes over to salt the game away.

I’m threading the needle a bit on this one with the belief that Stafford stays under 300 pass yards due to low volume, and it would pay out at +600 at BetMGM if this betting pick hits.

Spread bet: Rams moneyline
Player Prop Bets: Cooper Kupp over 59.5 receiving yards; Puka Nacua over 59.5 receiving yards; Matthew Stafford under 299.5 passing yards
Parlay odds: +600 at BetMGM

 Leg 1: Rams moneyline

• The Rams are 4-point home favorites and -200 on the moneyline
• Los Angeles has won three of its past four games, with the only loss coming in OT against the Ravens
• The Saints have the same 7-7 record as LA but accomplished it against one of the easiest schedules in the NFL

Leg 2: Cooper Kupp Over 59.5 receiving yards

• Kupp has gone for 115 and 111 receiving yards the past two weeks
• Stafford and Kupp have a great connection and he is always a go-to guy
• Saints star cornerback Marshon Lattimore is on IR with an ankle injury

Leg 3: Puka Nacua Over 59.5 Receiving Yards

• Nacua has averaged 83.1 receiving yards per game this season and has reached 60 in nine of the 14 contests
• Nacua has 239 receiving yards over his past three games
• Stafford has shown the ability to get both Nacua and Kupp involved in the same game

Leg 4: Matthew Stafford Under 299.5 Passing Yards

• Stafford should be efficient, but Kyren Williams and the run game will also do some damage, keeping the pass attempts reasonable
• Stafford hasn’t surpassed 300 yards passing since Week 4
• Kupp and Nacua are the main focal points of the offense but others don’t rack up a bunch of yardage
