Same Game Parlay Best Bet for Raiders vs. Chargers

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, their "Build Your Own Bet" feature consists of a variety of betting options; ranging from the spread, total, alternatives spreads and totals, and several unique prop bets with multiple outcomes. Most sportsbooks have you choose between one number, say for example, passing yards.

In this particular game, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert must go over 283.5 rushing yards for that prop bet to hit, but at WynnBET, they offer up several outcome ranges, with higher-priced odds for lower numbers to surpass. If Carr goes over 265 yards, the odds are -150 (bet $150 to win $100), but if he goes past 315, it's available at plus-odds of +105.

Here is a sample "Build Your Own Bet" same-game parlay I like for tonight's Monday night game between the Las Vegas Raiders and Chargers. A $25 entry would win $200 at +800 odds!

Move the Raiders' Spread to Cover at a Higher Number

Raiders +7.5 (-220)

Right now, WynnBET has the Chargers as 3.5-point favorites at home, going back-and-forth throughout the week from 3 and 3.5. The Raiders, despite their 3-0 record could have some trouble against L.A, particularly with their strong pass defense, but I still expect tonight's matchup to be close given the Chargers' issues with holding leads.

It may feel like a steep climb to move the line up to +7.5, considering how well underdogs have been performing all season, but with a same-game parlay, the payoff is big enough that you'd rather stay safe on this bet.

Take the Under at a Higher Total

Under 56.5 (-180)

Sunday night's Tampa Bay Buccaneers versus New England Patriots game was the first time this season that a Sunday or Monday Night Football game went UNDER on the total, and I expect the same thing again this evening.

Right now, the current line at WynnBET is 51.5, and while 85.4% of bets are on the "OVER" to hit, only 50.8% of the money agrees. This likely indicates that the sharps are leaning on the "UNDER" rather than the public.

I'll move this line up to 56.5 from 51.5 which gives us some more wiggle room at reasonable odds of -180.

Derek Carr Won't Throw for 380+ Yards Again

Derek Carr 265+ Passing Yards (-150)

When 382 passing yards is your season low for the year, it's difficult to jump all the way down to only 265 or higher. But oddsmakers expect Carr to have much more difficulty going downfield tonight against L.A, setting his prop number at 283.5.

For any bettors who expect another 300+ yard performance out of Carr, you can take him at 315+ passing yards at +105 odds in the "Build Your Own Bet" feature to boost the overall odds of the parlay, but again, I think it's best to take the number slightly below where oddsmakers expect him to fall.

Darren Waller Stays Hot Despite Tough Matchup

Darren Waller 65+ Receiving Yards (-120)

With Carr's passing yardage number likely taking a substantial drop, we have to plan accordingly with Waller. After a 19 target Week 1 performance where he caught 10 passes for 105 yards and a touchdown, Waller has seen his yards drop each of the last two weeks: 65 against the Steelers on the road, followed by 54 against the Dolphins last week.

However, with the Chargers as home favorites, I think we could see a slight uptick in receiving yards volume for Waller as game script likely indicates the Raiders playing from behind and needing to throw more often.

The safest play on the board is 55+ receiving yards at -160 odds, but I'm willing to go to 65+ with Waller this week.

Move Keenan Allen to Lowest Possible Point

Keenan Allen 65+ Receiving Yards (-200)

Allen has averaged 11 targets through the first three games of the season and continues to build his connection with Justin Herbert through the air.

However, this Raiders defense looks to be substantially improved from a season ago when they were one of the worst pass defenses in the league against opposing wide receivers.

This year, Las Vegas is allowing the fourth-fewest yards against opposing wide receivers. Fortunately for Allen, he predominantly lines up in the slot and can get more opportunities for mismatches.

Regardless, I'm playing it safe and taking the lowest possible number here.
