Sure, winning individual bets is a cool feeling. There's nothing as rewarding as knocking down a parlay though. You get a huge payout, you look like a genius, and you can risk less to win more! What's not to like?

FanDuel Sportsbook is offering Same Game Parlays throughout the NFL season, so we've got to take advantage in NFL's first matchup of the season. The Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams both have rosters loaded with offensive talent, and I'm expecting some fireworks on Thursday Night Football.

Let's make some cash while enjoying the show, shall we?

Here is my favorite Same Game Parlay in Bills vs Rams, courtesy of FanDuel:

Best Same Game Parlay for Bills vs. Rams

Hey, it's the first game of the season and FanDuel is throwing free promos at us like candy. Let's get a little wild to kick off the year.

The "Wide Receiver Whammy" Parlay (+3402)

  • Allen Robinson 50+ Receiving Yards
  • Allen Robinson Any Time Touchdown
  • Cooper Kupp 80+ Receiving Yards
  • Stefon Diggs 50+ Receiving Yards
  • Isaiah McKenzie Over 32.5 Receiving Yards
  • Gabriel Davis Any Time Touchdown

This is obviously a lot to get right, but it's important to tell a story with your parlays. Ask yourself, "how do I think this game will go?" In Bills vs Rams, I expect each high-octane offense to find success, turning the matchup into a shootout.

If that happens, then we've got a great shot at cashing all of these picks. Let's run through my expectations for each player:

Allen Robinson 50+ Receiving Yards and Any Time Touchdown

Matthew Stafford is better than every other quarterback Allen Robinson has ever played with combined. It won't take long for A-Rob to remind everyone that he's still an incredibly talented wide receiver.

Robinson gives Stafford and the Rams offense a legitimate big-bodied possession receiver they've lacked. I expect the Rams to get the ball to their new receiver early to give him a warm welcome, and we know the Bills' defense will be without star cornerback Tre'Davious White. A-Rob should clear this numbers consistently throughout the season, so I'm happy to make him a focal point of this Same Game Parlay.

Cooper Kupp 80+ Receiving Yards

Kupp cleared this number in every single regular season game last year except the Rams' early loss to the Arizona Cardinals, and he still had 13 targets in that contest. He's the NFL's most consistently excellent receiver and the centerpiece of Los Angeles' offense.

Don't think twice when adding Kupp to your parlay.

Stefon Diggs 50+ Receiving Yards

In 2021, Diggs amassed at least 50 receiving yards in 14 of 17 regular season games. In 2020, he hit this prop in 12 of 16 games.

He's Josh Allen's No. 1 target in a full-proof offense. In a high-scoring game, Diggs will get peppered with targets. With a penchant for success in big moments, I'm confident the star wideout comes through for us.

Isaiah McKenzie Over 32.5 Receiving Yards

Buffalo's new starting slot receiver, dubbed a "Muscle Hamster" by Josh Allen, should step into Cole Beasley's vacated role nicely. Allen throws a ton of passes to his slot receiver, as evidenced by Beasley's three straight years with 100+ targets.

McKenzie has Allen's trust, and this line is way too low for such a talented player. Beasley hit this prop in 10 of 16 games last season, but McKenzie should improve on that number.

Gabriel Davis Any Time Touchdown

In Gabriel Davis' last seven games with the Bills, he has nine touchdowns. That doesn't even include his preseason score a couple of weeks ago. He's emerged as Josh Allen's favorite red zone target and looks poised for a breakout season.

If Diggs is telling fantasy football players to draft Davis, we should listen as bettors as well. Davis may not score four touchdowns like he did against Kansas City in the playoffs, but all we need is one to secure a glorious cash.


Bang, bang! I love the Same Game Parlay option from FanDuel Sportsbook and the way it allows us to craft a story while creating a parlay. With these offenses going to battle, each team's top wide receivers should get ample opportunity to deliver.

You're welcome to mix-and-match your favorite picks to craft your own Same Game Parlay, but I'm shooting for the moon with my first one of the season.

Head to FanDuel to survey the options and get your bets locked in. Best of luck and let's get after it!
