For every primetime NFL game, this article will share the best same-game parlay and the reasoning behind it. Here is the best Bengals-Browns parlay from FanDuel Sportsbook for Monday night’s game.
Best Bengals-Browns Parlay: Tee Higgins Galore
The biggest news in this game is that star receiver Ja’Marr Chase is out for 4 to 6 weeks with a hip injury. He has been playing lights out, especially lately, so this is a big loss for the Bengals’ offense. Luckily for the Bengals, they have another star WR in Tee Higgins, who has a similar target rate (22.6%) to Chase (25.9%).
Leg 1: Cincinnati Bengals Moneyline (-178)
Simply put, this Bengals team is a much better team than the Browns. Even without Chase, their offense is significantly more dynamic and high-powered. Per the Action Network, the public agrees, as 62% of the bets and 59% of the money have come in on the Bengals moneyline.
Leg 2: Tee Higgins 90+ Receiving Yards (+118)
As mentioned, Higgins was already getting a high target rate, but now he should get even more of Joe Burrow‘s targets. In the six games that Higgins has played this season, he exceeded this prop in three of them, and that was with Chase in the lineup. Now he’ll be the true alpha receiver going up against the Browns’ defense that is easily exploitable (ranking 30th in points allowed).
Bengals-Browns Same Game Parlay Odds (+231)
This slip focuses on the two things most likely to happen: Higgins dominating in the receiving game and the Bengals winning.
