Best NFL Same Game Parlay Bets: AFC and NFC Conference Championships

We’ve got three NFL games left, starting with the AFC and NFC conference championships this weekend. If the early rounds are any indication, we’re in for some great games. From a betting perspective, there’s an endless number of same-game parlays (SGPs) fans can put money on.

Much like traditional parlays, the advantage lies with the house with SGPs. The best thing bettors can do to combat the house’s advantage is to keep them short, two or three legs.

Let’s review my picks for each game.

AFC Championship Game Same Game Parlay Bets: New England Patriots vs. Denver Broncos

You can find all the odds used for my picks at bet365.

SGP Pick No. 1: If you want to back the Broncos to win

• Broncos +4.5 at -105

It has been all about the Denver defense dominating opponents this season. Under Sean Payton’s guidance, backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham could play well enough to keep this one close or win outright (+205).

• RJ Harvey, OVER 18.5 Receiving Yards at -110

Stidham, since he hasn’t played in a couple of years, may be more likely to check down to Harvey. He had five catches for 46 yards last week. If he gets five catches again, he’ll easily go over this total.

• Drake Maye,  UNDER 19.5 Completions at -115

Maye had 17 completions against the Chargers and 16 vs. the Texans. Denver’s defense is better than the Chargers' and comparable to Houston’s. It will keep him from taking over the game.

• SGP Odds: +575

A $100 wager will result in a $675 payday, your stake plus $575 in winnings.

SGP Pick No. 2: If you want to back the Patriots to win

• Patriots -4.5 at -115

Denver’s defense will still be good enough to slow the Patriots down, but even the best defenses get tired when they’re on the field a lot (and Denver’s will be). New England will win by at least seven.

• Rhamondre Stevenson, OVER 48.5 Rushing Yards at -115

Running on Denver will not be easy, but since it did so against Houston’s run defense (Stevenson had 73 yards on 16 carries), we know the Patriots can. Stevenson got the bulk of the work in the second half last week. If he does the same this week, he’ll go over this total.

• UNDER 42.5 at -110

Denver’s defense will keep the Patriots' offense from going off. Since Denver is stuck with Stidham at quarterback, don't look for the Broncos to score much either.

• SGP Odds: +550

A $100 wager will result in a $650 payday, your stake plus $550 in winnings.

NFC Championship Same Game Parlay Bets: Los Angeles Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks

The finalists for the NFL MVP award have been announced, and we have the latest odds if you're looking to bet on who wins the honor this season.

SGP Pick No. 1: If you want to back the Seahawks to win

• Kenneth Walker, OVER 108.5 Rushing and Receiving Yards at -115

This number would make me nervous if Zach Charbonnett were playing, but he went down with a season-ending injury last week. Walker had 145 total yards vs. the 49ers, 133 in Week 18 vs. the 49ers, and 111 in Seattle's Week 12 matchup.

• Jaxon Smith-Njigba, OVER 6.5 Receptions at -115

He’s had 6+ catches in his last five games and eight and nine in both previous games against the Rams. There is no way Sam Darnold does not target his best receiver early and often against a suspect Rams secondary.

• Seahawks ML at -140

The other two games vs. the Rams were decided by one or two points. So, just to be on the safe side, I’m taking the Seahawks to win outright.

• SGP Odds: +411

A $100 wager will result in a $511 payday, your stake plus $411 in winnings.

SGP Pick No. 2: If you want to bet on the Rams

• Rams +120

As close as both regular-season games were, this is a game where one or two plays down the stretch could turn the tide and secure a win. Between the two teams, I trust Matthew Stafford to make that play more than Darnold.

• Puka Nacua, OVER 7.5 Receptions at -120

Seattle’s defense is playing better and may limit YAC, but Stafford will not stop throwing to him until the game is over. Nacua only had seven receptions in the first matchup (8 targets). But Stafford will target him early and often, as always (10+ in the last seven games with 12 vs. Seattle in Week 16).

In a game of this magnitude, Nacua will catch eight if Stafford targets him eight times.

• Kyren Williams, OVER 14.5 Rush Attempts at +105

Seattle is tough to run on, but that’s not going to stop the Rams from trying (which is why I’m going with rush attempts over yards). Williams covered this number last week (21), but just twice in his last five, the second being the Week 16 game vs. Seattle (he had 12 in the first match-up).

Corum’s involvement in the offense is a concern, but the Rams leaned on Williams last week in crunch time and will do so again this week.

• SGP Odds: +575

A $100 wager will result in a $675 payday, your stake plus $575 in winnings.
