CRAZY NFL PARLAY: WEEK 6
Summary
This piece presents a high-risk, high-reward NFL parlay for the upcoming week. The author argues that his selections are not random but are based on careful analysis of the games. He explains the reasoning behind several picks, suggesting the Cardinals-Colts and Seahawks-Jaguars games will be high-scoring, while the Rams-Ravens and Chargers-Dolphins matchups will be defensive, low-scoring affairs. He also includes several underdog moneyline picks, including the Jets, Dolphins, 49ers, and Lions.
The combined bet is designed for a massive payout, turning a small $10 wager into over $12,000 if all the selections are correct. The tone is enthusiastic and persuasive, aiming to convince readers that this parlay is a scientifically-crafted opportunity to win big.

Are you ready kids? Because it’s that special time of the week where, once again, I take the money you’d spend on a Smokehouse Brisket meal with curly fries and a Coke Zero at Arby’s and turn it into a Honda FourTrax Foreman Rubicon 4X4.
The Crazy NFL Parlay is where you and I can live the dream and justify every gambling decision we make for the rest of our lives. Yes, even dating the woman who wants to run your star chart before you meet up at Olive Garden. We’re justifying it!
If this is your first Crazy NFL Parlay, let me tell you what we do here. I take a good, long look at the spreads, moneylines and totals in the particular upcoming week and craft the perfect parlay to maximize our return. This isn’t just closing my eyes, tossing darts and hoping for the best. Perish that thought. Perish it I say!
No, this is science. I’m looking over the bracket and picking things that could actually happen. And, if those events take place, wouldn’t you want to add a solid five figures to your bank account? Wouldn’t you feel stupid if, after reading this, you saw it hit and you were left out? My heart is broken for you just thinking about it.
So, with that being said, here is what I have hand selected for you this week;
Jets +303
Browns at Steelers Under 38 (-105)
Cardinals at Colts Over 47 (-115)
Rams at Ravens Under 44.5 (-108)
Seahawks at Jaguars Over 47.5 (-110)
Cowboys at Panthers Over 49.5 (-105)
Dolphins +177
Chargers at Dolphins Under 43.5 (-110)
49ers +153
Lions +118
If you’ve already checked out this week’s Friday Afternoon Quarterback, then you know that I feel like the Arizona Cardinals and Indianapolis Colts will be a relatively high scoring game, with the Colts coming out on top easily. And I think the same thing will happen when Sam Darnold and Trevor Lawrence duel it out with the Seattle Seahawks and Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Dallas Cowboys have yet to play defense this year and while they should get out of Carolina with a win, it won’t be without giving up some points.
It’s the rest we need to talk ourselves into, so let’s get to it.
The Los Angeles Rams are always a team that just wants to get out of dodge with a win, especially when they play a team like the Baltimore Ravens. With Cooper Rush at QB, Baltimore’s scoring should be at a premium and Sean McVay would be more than happy exiting M&T Bank Stadium with a 20-10 victory.
The Los Angeles Chargers have been a mess for the last two weeks. Is it impossible they could once again faceplant against a Miami Dolphins team just trying to stay alive? And, if the Dolphins do win, it’s going to be a low-scoring grinder.
Frankly, the San Francisco 49ers might just beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to make me sad, but they knocked off the Rams on the road last week and I do think the Rams are better than the Bucs.
Lastly, this is a put up or shut up game for the Detroit Lions when they thought they’d already done that against the Ravens. Now, not so much. Knocking the Kansas City Chiefs off in Arrowhead would pretty much make the Lions the NFC Super Bowl favorite hands down.
A $10 winning parlay bet on these moneylines and totals pays $12,162.48
