For every primetime NFL game, this article will share the best same-game parlay and the reasoning behind it. Here is the Chargers vs. Chiefs slip from FanDuel Sportsbook for Thursday night’s game.
NFL Same Game Parlay: Chargers vs. Chiefs Picks
Again, make sure to opt into the No Sweat SGP first. Since that contest allows bettors to essentially play with house money, and this bet is risk-free, the first play will be anytime touchdown scorers. Also, this game has the total set at 53.5 points, so there could be six, seven, eight touchdowns or more in this game.
Leg 1: Travis Kelce to Score 2+ Touchdowns (+430)
The Chiefs have new offensive weapons for quarterback Patrick Mahomes this season with Tyreek Hill now in Miami. But his longest-tenured and most trusted receiver, Travis Kelce, is still there. Mahomes and Kelce picked up where they left off in 2021 and connected for a touchdown in Week 1.
Note that Kelce has scored two-plus touchdowns in eight regular season games, and he posted two multi-touchdown games last season. One two-touchdown game for Kelce was against these Chargers in December.
Leg 2: Austin Ekeler Anytime Touchdown (-135)
With Keenan Allen out for the Chargers, their other weapons are going to need to step up. Austin Ekeler should be used more in the passing game and run more routes, so this bet works for a touchdown rushing or receiving.
Leg 3: Mike Williams Any Time Touchdown (+160)
Just like Ekeler, Mike Williams will need to be utilized more with Allen out. While Williams did not garner a lot of targets in Week 1, he is now the alpha receiver for the Chargers. Look for quarterback Justin Herbert to target Williams in the red zone.
Chargers vs. Chiefs Same Game Parlay Odds (+2163)
Since it is a risk-free bet, this same-game parlay plays things a little riskier. After all, rooting for touchdowns is fun, and this game could be full of them.
