There’s only one game left in the NFL season, so why not try and hit big with a parlay. 

With endless props being offered on both sides of the coin, let’s dive into a parlay that Bengals fans will love to root for. This way, they don’t have to root for a Ram while they watch their team try to win their first Super Bowl in franchise history. 

Here’s the parlay that would bring joy to every Bengals’ fan.

All odds listed are via WynnBET.

Best Same Game Parlay for Bengals Fans (+1058 Odds)

  • Joe Burrow OVER 11.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
  • Tyler Boyd OVER 4.0 Receptions (+100)
  • Evan McPherson OVER 7.5 Total Points (-145)
  • Tee Higgins OVER 69.5 Yards (-120)

Joe Burrow OVER 11.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

Burrow showed just how mobile he can be last week against the Chiefs, running for 25 yards on five carries. He was nimble and was able to escape the pressure Kansas City was getting on him. 

The Rams defense will put much more pressure on him and if Burrown can look half as good as he did last week, he’ll clear this line.

Tyler Boyd OVER 4.0 Receptions (+100)

Although this is the only prop with plus odds, I still like it. Boyd has had at least four catches in three of his last four games and has seen a good share of targets throughout this playoff run. 

The Bengals haven’t played a cornerback as good as Jalen Ramsey yet, which will put more pressure on Boyd to get the job done if Chase is locked up. Boyd needs to be the tiniest bit more effective this game and he’ll clear this. 

Evan McPherson OVER 7.5 Total Points (-145)

McPherson has made four field goals in every playoff game during this run – which is 12 points on its own. The Bengals have shown they trust him in every situation and he hasn’t given them a reason to doubt him. 

Cincinnati was close to being in the bottom third in the league in red zone touchdown percentage, meaning McPherson will have a lot of opportunities in this game. Unless the Bengals turn into a touchdown machine, McPherson will be on the field to do his thing. 

Tee Higgins OVER 69.5 Yards (-120)

Although these are minus odds, I consider this to be one of the riskier decisions in this parlay. Higgins has missed this line in two of the last four games. However, he’s cleared it with ease over the last two, which gives me hope he can stay hot. 

Like Boyd, Higgins should benefit from Chase having the tough assignment this week. If Higgins just does his job, he can have a big day. He’s gotten 19 targets over the last two games. That’s plenty of volume to surpass this line.
