Thursday Night Football features an NFC South matchup between the Atlanta Falcons (4-5) and the Carolina Panthers (2-7). The total currently sits at 42.5 points, and the Falcons are favored by 2.5. This article reviews the best same-game parlay for every NFL primetime game and analyzes the reasoning behind the bet. Here is the best Falcons-Panthers parlay for Thursday night’s game.
Best Falcons-Panthers Parlay
This same-game parlay comes from DraftKings. OddsShopper is a useful tool to find bets with the highest win rate. This slip focuses on props for the two quarterbacks. While these two teams met two weeks ago for a 34-37 shootout that went to overtime, the same offensive firepower is unlikely tonight. That game went to overtime thanks to an improbable Hail Mary. There is also expected to be some rain tonight in Charlotte, which could limit offense.
Leg 1: Under 149.5 P.J. Walker Passing Yards (+160)
P.J. Walker was benched last week for poor performance after throwing for just 9 yards. Walker is not a good NFL quarterback, and unless he gets it going early, it would not be surprising if the Panthers make a switch in this game as well.
Leg 2: Over 29.5 Marcus Mariota Rushing Yards (-130)
Mariota rushed for 43 yards the last time these teams met. He has also exceeded this rushing prop in four of his last five games. If the weather is a factor tonight, that could lead to more rushing for Mariota as well.
Falcons-Panthers Parlay Odds (+380)
With two weaker offensive teams, it is a good move to parlay props on the quarterbacks. These two props also play on recent trends with Walker’s and Mariota’s respective performances.
