Let's dive into it.
Thursday Night Football Same Game Parlay Picks
- Dolphins Alternate Spread +7.5
- Alternate Total OVER 42.5
- Joe Burrow OVER 268.5 Passing Yards (-114)
- Chase Edmonds Anytime TD
Dolphins Alternate Spread +7.5
Many people are probably surprised that the Dolphins are 3.5-point underdogs to big with, but let's not get too crazy. If we buy a few points, we can cross the spread over the key number of seven. So let's do that, and root for a close game.
Alternate Total OVER 42.5
We're going to do the same thing with the total, and tease it down to 42.5. Miami ranks 27th in opponent yards per play, so expect there to be some offense in this game. Sure, the Bengals defense ranks seventh in that stat, but games against bad offenses like the Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys have made their defense look better than they are. I wouldn't be shocked if this game is a total shootout.
Joe Burrow OVER 273.5 Passing Yards
Miami has had some serious issues in its secondary. The Dolphins rank 26th in yards per pass attempt, allowing 7.3. Burrow hasn't put up huge numbers so far this season, but he led the NFL in this yards per pass last season, so I expect some positive regression from him sooner rather than later.
Chase Edmonds Anytime TD
Chase Edmonds has been getting plenty of opportunities for the Dolphins this season, and I expect that to continue. He's averaging 7.7 rushing attempts per game, but he's racked up six total receptions. He scored two touchdowns against the Bills last week, so expect him to be the go-to back in the red zone for Miami on Thursday night.
Parlay odds: +635
