CRAZY NFL PARLAY: WEEK 3

BY ADAM GREENE

We’ve picked our games, ranked our teams and fretted about everything that’s gone right and wrong up to this point, but there’s one last piece to our weekly NFL puzzle of which we have yet to partake. I’m talking, of course about the Crazy NFL Parlay. Yes, the Crazy NFL Parlay where we take the money you’d spend at the Dunkin drive-thru and turn it into a new bass boat. Or motorcycle. Or whatever midlife crisis you’ve decided to lean into.

If this is your first Crazy NFL Parlay, here’s how it works. I put on my deerstalker hat and pop in my calabash pipe to peruse, with a giant magnifying glass, all the NFL odds, lines and totals for the given week to craft the perfect possible parlay with the maximum payout for the littlest pile of cash.

This isn’t just tossing darts at the schedule or blindly pinning the tail on the equine of your choosing. Oh no. This is science. Any team can win on any given Sunday so let’s monetize that chaos. The universe’s natural state is entropy. No reason we can’t pocket some filthy lucre because of that.

Here are the games I’ve hand picked for your betting pleasure this week;

Los Angeles Chargers -103

Tennessee Titans +153

New York Jets +125

Denver Broncos +240

Atlanta Falcons +147

Pittsburgh Steelers +130

Tampa Bay Buccaneers +185

Los Angeles Rams +120

If you’ve already read my Friday Afternoon Quarterback, Sunday Night and two Monday Night Football picks articles, then you know I like two of these upsets. I think the Chargers will win the “loser leaves town” battle at the Minnesota Vikings and I think the Rams will close out the week knocking off the Cincinnati Bengals in a Super Bowl LVI rematch that Joe Burrow might not even suit up in.

It’s the rest of the games we have to talk ourselves into, so let’s get to it.

You’re telling me the Cleveland Browns couldn’t drop a game to the Titans after the psychological damage of losing Nick Chubb for the season?

The Miami Dolphins have looked like the best offense in football. If you watch a lot of the sport, and I’m guessing that you do, the Broncos are the trappiest trap game that ever trapped.

We all want the Detroit Lions to be good and make the playoffs, but do you trust them to hold off a 2-0 Falcons team after what you saw last week?

The Steelers have to look like a professional offense at some point, so why not make it happen against the Las Vegas Raiders and Josh McDaniels, who might just be the worst head coach in the league?

And, lastly, are the Bucs good? Beating the defending NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles in the first game of the Monday Night Football doubleheader would do a lot to prove that.

A $10 winning bet on these eight moneylines pays $13,577.30.
