The parlay beneath at present has odds of +9516, or simply about 95/1. Which means a $20 wager may churn you a wholesome revenue of $1903.15, and a $10 guess may earn you $951.65. 

So what did the consultants need to say? This is our Wild Card weekend parlay, with all odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook. Let’s have a look: 

Jason: Will Dissly anytime TD (+340)

With receiver Josh Palmer dominated out, and Quentin Johnston questionable, this figures to be a good finish sport for the Chargers. That ought to shock no person since Justin Herbert loves throwing to his tight ends. 

Anticipate the Texans to load up on Ladd McConkey with their prime two cornerbacks, which means somebody on the Chargers has to catch passes. Enter the tight finish, Will Dissly.

Toss within the reality the Texans ranked within the backside 10 defending tight ends on the subject of receptions, yards and touchdowns— and you’ve got the potential for one or each to succeed in the top zone. The Texans gave up two landing passes to the Ravens on Christmas – each catches by tight ends. Dissly has two scores this yr. If you wish to juice your odds much more, Stone Smartt is an efficient play right here— as he is +1000 to attain at any time. 

Will: Lamar Jackson Over 50 rush yards (-120)

With the Ravens’ main receiver Zay Flowers unsure to play on Saturday, the potential 2024 MVP, Lamar Jackson, might need to take issues into his personal palms… or, toes, to be extra correct. If Flowers is certainly out, the Ravens passing assault takes a serious hit, which may result in extra of Jackson operating. Typically, betting on quarterbacks to have success speeding is an efficient technique come playoff time as it’s. Throughout an extended grueling season, quarterbacks might run out of bounds or throw the ball away in sure cases to protect their well being. Within the playoffs, the place it’s win or go dwelling, that’s far much less more likely to occur. Anticipate to see loads of Lamar Jackson on the transfer towards the Steelers. 

Sammy: Bo Nix to throw an interception (-145)

Value is necessary right here as some sportsbooks are getting near -160. The purpose unfold (Bills -9) tells us the Broncos are probably trailing for giant parts of this sport, so that they’ll most likely be pressured to throw greater than they’d want. Mix 30-degree climate, potential snow and a rookie quarterback making his first-ever playoff begin— and I will take my possibilities with Nix hurling the ball to the opposite workforce no less than as soon as. 

Pat: Packers-Eagles Underneath 45.5 (-112)

This might simply be a high-scoring affair. Green Bay and Philadelphia each common about 27 factors per sport. However there are a few parts that make Underneath 45.5 price a glance in Sunday’s sport at Philly. First, each quarterbacks are coming off accidents. Packers quarterback Jordan Love exited a Week 18 loss to Chicago with an elbow problem. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was in concussion protocol and sat out the final two regular-season video games. Second, each groups have robust operating backs who can management the clock. The Eagles’ Saquon Barkley rushed for two,005 yards this season (5.8 yards per carry), and the Packers’ Josh Jacobs had 1,329 yards speeding (4.4 yards per carry).

Chris: Jayden Daniels Underneath 31.5 cross makes an attempt (-110)

I anticipate this being an in depth sport, so I don’t see loads of hole makes an attempt in a late catch-up state of affairs. The Commanders could be clever to make use of Jayden Daniels’ legs right here to assist their protection towards a Tampa offense which may harm a susceptible Washington protection. When you have a look at Daniels over his previous couple of full video games, his workload has ramped up on the bottom — 16 carries vs Atlanta, 9 vs Philly, 11 vs New Orleans… that resembles what he was doing early within the yr earlier than his damage. Washington is a lot better with him as a operating menace, so I believe we’re going to see loads of quarterback run, as its so exhausting to defend, and little bit of Brian Robinson Jr. operating too. 

Geoff: Matthew Stafford over 22.5 completions (-105)

This can be a implausible matchup for the Rams quarterback to hold the offensive load in Los Angeles. The Vikings do two issues on protection. They disguise early after which swap to one thing on the snap. Based on the information, Matthew Stafford is second in completion share towards defenses that disguise coverages. The Vikings protection additionally likes to run a canopy zero strain to power quarterbacks into errors. That does not work with Matthew Stafford who threw for essentially the most yards within the league towards cowl zero. That is all to say I believe Stafford will play effectively and full a ton of passes.
