Best NFL Same Game Parlay Bet Today: Steelers vs. Ravens @ +380 odds on 1/6

The Baltimore Ravens have nothing to play for on Sunday and are resting many of their key starters, including likely MVP Lamar Jackson.

While that takes some sizzle out of the game, it brings some intrigue on the betting front. The Steelers are now the favorites for this matchup and they need a win to have a shot at the postseason.

I like Pittsburgh to win this game, and have put together a three-leg Same Game Parlay at +380 odds over at BetMGM. Check out the picks and my rationale below.

Spread bet: Steelers -3.5
Scoring total bet: Ravens over alternate line of 9.5 points
Player prop bet: Steelers WR Diontae Johnson hits 40+ receiving yards
Parlay odds: +380 at BetMGM

Leg 1: Steelers -3.5 at Ravens

• The Ravens are expected to rest many prominent veterans in advance of the playoffs
• Steelers QB Mason Rudolph has surpassed 10.0 yards per pass attempt in each of his two starts this year
• The Steelers’ season is on the line so they will be pulling out the stops to get a win

Leg 2: Baltimore Ravens Over 9.5 Total Points

• Points may be at a premium but Baltimore’s backup quarterback, Tyler Huntley, is talented enough to get to double digits in points
• Huntley’s mobility can keep plays alive and help mitigate Pittsburgh’s pass-rush
• Mason Rudolph is a career backup who could make a big mistake and give the Ravens points or great field position

Leg 3: Steelers WR Diontae Johnson Reaches 40+ Receiving Yards

• Johnson is averaging 52.3 receiving yards per game this season and is coming off a four-catch, 76-yard performance last week
• The Ravens are likely going to sit star defensive backs Marlon Humphrey and Kyle Hamilton, and potentially other impact starters
• Rudolph has been willing to throw the ball downfield, with an average depth of target of 8.9 yards
