Winner winner chicken dinner: NFL parlay for Week 7
By Kevin Erickson,

We’re heading for Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season, and we had mixed results last week.
Heading into Week 7, we have another game from England kicking off at 9:30 a.m. ET, and it will be the rainiest and windiest game of the NFL weekend slate, too. Winds will be gusting up to 25 MPH, and there is a 70% chance of precipitation, although it might be intermittent and not a constant downpour for the New England Patriots and Jacksonville Jaguars.
In Week 6, we started off with a winner with the Chicago Bears taking care of the Jaguars in rather easy fashion. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers also had a high-scoring victory against the banged-up New Orleans Saints, dropping a 50-burger on them. The Bucs took advantage of rookie QB Spencer Rattler starting, and that was the reason for backing the road team.
In the 3rd leg of the parlay, the Denver Broncos made a valiant comeback, but they fell short against the LA Chargers. However, if you instead swapped in the Cincinnati Bengals, offered as a 4th option, the latter scored a late TD to drop the New York Giants. So, 3 of the 4 legs hit, and if you mixed things up, or bet each leg individually, hopefully you came out ahead.
The Philadelphia Eagles (3-2) travel to meet the New York Giants (2-4) for the 1st of 2 meetings this season.
The good news for the G-Men is that rookie WR Malik Nabers (concussion) is ready to return. However, the bad news is that CB Adoree’ Jackson (neck) is out, while LB Brian Burns (groin) and DL Dexter Lawrence (hip) are each listed as questionable. With the defense banged up, that’s a problem for the home side.
The Eagles have won 5 of the past 6 meetings in this series, while the teams have split 3-3 against the spread during the span. The difference here, for me, is quarterbacks. QB Jalen Hurts should be top notch, and top WRs A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith are back to health. QB Daniel Jones isn’t on the same level.
BACK EAGLES -3 (-115) to start off our Week 7 three-leg parlay.

Leg 2: CHIEFS ML (+100) at 49ers – 4:25 p.m. (FOX)
The Kansas City Chiefs (5-0) meet the San Francisco 49ers (3-3) in a Super Bowl rematch.
How many times do we see one team win the big game, and in the rematch the next regular season, the Super Bowl loser wins the consolation prize?
Well, that’s not what we’re rolling with here. The Chiefs are coming off a bye, and they’ll be well rested, having had 2 weeks to give their bumps and bruises a break.
49ers RB Jordan Mason is a question mark due to an AC joint injury. He might be able to play, but the Chiefs rushing defense allows 88.4 yards per game to rank 5th in the NFL. The Chiefs are also allowing just 17.0 PPG, ranking 6th.
BACK CHIEFS ML (+100) at even-money for an even better value.

Leg 3: STEELERS ML (+110) vs. Jets – 8:20 p.m. (NBC)
In the 3rd and final end of our 3-leg parlay, we’ll roll with another moneyline underdog.
The Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2) host the New York Jets (2-4), and we might get to see QB Russell Wilson make his team debut. It would be a curious move, however, as QB Justin Fields has kept things together, helping the team to a winning mark through the 1st 6 games.
The books seem to be overvaluing the addition of WR Davante Adams to the Jets, too. He was just acquired, and it’s hard to imagine he’ll have a firm grasp of the playbook, even if he knows QB Aaron Rodgers well.
The Jets just changed their coaching staff, too, so things are in a bit of flux. I’ll take the consistency and stability with Mike Tomlin’s staff, especially as short ‘dogs at home.
Go with STEELERS ML (+110) for the 3rd and final leg of this winning parlay.
