NFL Week 3 parlay: Let's make some money

Dominick Petrillo | Sportsbook Wire

Leg 3: Colts +6.5 (-110) vs. Chiefs, 1 p.m.

Indy WR Michael Pittman should be back for this game after missing Week 2 at Jacksonville.

With Pittman and rookie WR Alec Pierce both out, the Colts were forced to feed RB Jonathan Taylor. Normally this would be great. But with Jacksonville able to stack the box against him, with no threat of the pass, it did not work out. Even the best RB in the game can be stopped when everyone is expecting it and geared up to stop it.

After a 5-TD performance in Week 1, Kansas City QB Patrick Mahomes came back to earth in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Colts defense behind LB Shaquille Leonard will be formidable in their home opener and they will pressure Mahomes to get the ball out quickly or use the run game more often.

With both teams wanting to run the ball, I see a low-scoring game. This means a game less conducive to large spreads. So, I will lean with the UNDERDOG.

Parlay payout: Bet $10 to win $67.56 (profit $) 57.56.

Leg 4-*: Buccaneers -1.5 (-112) vs. Packers, 4:25 p.m.

*-If you want to add a 4th play to this parlay:

The Packers looked good in Week 2 against the Bears. QB Aaron Rodgers was back to his MVP level and RB Aaron Jones had 170 total yards and 2 TDs.

Bucs WR Mike Evans is suspended for this game, which will make it more important RB Leonard Fournette gets going and into the end zone. WR Chris Godwin being out also hurts but WR Julio Jones showed in Week 1 that he still has something left in the tank. It should be just enough to get the victory. With the line being Buccaneers -1.5, a victory is all we need.

One fun fact, Rodgers has never won a game in Florida.

Parlay payout (4 team): Bet $10 to win $127.88 (profit $117.88).
