Best Same Game Parlay for Steelers vs. Vikings on Thursday Night Football

Same game parlays, particularly on stand-alone prime time games, are a ton of fun. Bettors can still enjoy the intrigue of betting small and winning big if everything comes through, minus the waiting through an entire slate. You can focus in on one matchup and watch as your bets hopefully hit throughout the evening.

At WynnBET, you can build your own same-game parlay with a variety of betting options; ranging from the spread, total, alternatives spreads and totals, and several unique prop bets and promos with multiple outcomes. Most sportsbooks have you choose between one number, say, for example, receiving yards.

In tonight's AFC vs. NFC North collision between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings with the Vikings listed as 3-point favorites at WynnBET with the total currently at 44, we have a parlay where you can cash in on some favorable odds.

Here is a sample same-game parlay I like for Thursday Night Football where a $25 entry would win $247.88 with +992 odds.

Thursday Night Football Best Same Game Parlay Picks

• K.J. Osborn OVER 42.5 Receiving Yards (-125)
• Chase Claypool UNDER 50.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
• Ben Roethlisberger UNDER 256.5 Passing Yards (-120)
• Najee Harris OVER 3.5 Receptions (-130)

K.J. Osborn OVER 42.5 Receiving Yards (-125)

Our Peter Dewey wrote up Osborn as one of his favorite prop bets for tonight's matchup, having taken on a massive role with Adam Thielen out. Osborn had 92% of the snaps and ended up catching five receptions for 47 yards.

With Justin Jefferson likely shadowed and double-teamed all night, Osborn should find plenty of opportunities underneath to clear the 42.5, as the Vikings will look to get the ball quick and avoid the pass rush of T.J. Watt.

Chase Claypool UNDER 50.5 Receiving Yards (-115)

Claypool only played 38/60 snaps last week vs. the Ravens, catching two balls on three targets for 52 yards. He's a big play machine, averaging just under 27 yards/catch over his last two games despite only five total receptions.

But with Big Ben only connecting with him at a 50% clip all year and coming off a short week and emotional home win, I certainly wouldn't count on his accuracy being improved just four days later.

Claypool has the talent and upside to easily pass this number, and has done so in his last three games, but this is more of a fade of Big Ben than it is of Claypool in this spot.

Ben Roethlisberger UNDER 256.5 Passing Yards (-120)

The Vikings' defense is coming off a loss to the Detroit Lions, so I'm not going to get on my soapbox and scream from the heavens to fade attacking them. However, the best way for the Steelers to win this game is through their run game.

As our Reed Wallach pointed out earlier today, the Steelers are 6-0-1 this year when rookie running back Najee Harris has at least 16 carries. While that trend can be taken with a grain of salt considering Pittsburgh's terrible efficiency numbers on offense, it also tells you that it makes Big Ben a more competitive quarterback.

In those six wins, Big Ben has thrown for only 229.5 yards/game with 9 touchdowns and 0 picks. In the Steelers' five losses, he's thrown for 276.2 yards/game with just 7 touchdowns and 6 interceptions.

If you like the Steelers to cover, which I do, then less is actually more from Roethlisberger.

Najee Harris OVER 3.5 Receptions (-130)

I mentioned Harris as a key weapon for the Steelers' offense in the run game, but Harris has also seen 72 pass targets and caught 57 balls this season as well. Only Leonard Fournette has more receptions amongst running backs this season.

I also expect Big Ben to continue to dink and dunk downfield more often this week, looking to get the ball out quick while on short rest at 39 years old, allowing Harris to be the largest benefactor on dump-offs out of the backfield.

For the same reason as to why I'm fading Claypool as a deep ball threat this week, I'm supporting the opportunity for Harris underneath as a result.
