Monday Night Football Week 2: Betting Parlay (Sep 18)

There are two games that are going to be played tonight in the NFL. At 7:15 PM ET, the New Orleans Saints will face the Carolina Panthers. The Saints are -3.0 with bet365 sportsbook (-110) in the game. An hour later, the Pittsburgh Steelers will host the Cleveland Browns. Pittsburgh enters the game at +2.0 (-110). Our main market picks have been made for Monday Night Football Week 2. But we have a recommendation for those who are looking to play it safe in these upcoming games.

Firstly, our main market picks for these games are New Orleans to cover -3.0 and Pittsburgh and Cleveland to combine for UNDER 42.0 points. These were tips that were offered about a week ago. New Orleans should be regarded as a heavier favorite than just -3.0 while Pitt can’t be considered the underdog in the upcoming game against Cleveland.

Monday Night Football Week 2: Combination Betting

A parlay, in sports betting, is a combination bet. When dealing with two events, a parlay is referred to as a double. The odds on the events multiply in parlays. It’s a good way to bet because you can keep your betting small if you want, while still hoping for a good return due to the multiplying odds.

For our parlay tonight, we’ve come up with a recommendation that should appeal to the bettors that don’t like to take huge risks. New Orleans is favored. But what if you took handicap points on the Saints instead of asking them cover a small spread? That would account for some bad luck for sure. You can get +3.5 on the Saints at adjusted odds of -340.

While -340 won’t make anyone rich, it’s a good start to a parlay. The Saints vs Panthers game should end first. Then you can focus on the second leg of your parlay hitting.

In the Browns vs Steelers game, Pittsburgh looks underrated at just +2.0. They could be viewed as reasonable favorites in this home game. Perhaps a fair assessment on Pittsburgh is to put them at -4.0 for the game for a true spread.

MNF Week 2: Betting Recommendation

Instead of taking Pittsburgh at +2.0, take them at +7.5 (-340). That should be plenty of help for them against a Cleveland team that looks like they will struggle offensively this season. The two betting lines combine for odds of -150.

With the start time for the games nearing, we’ll cut to the end here. But the parlay looks like a very safe bet for the night that gets you involved in both NFL games.
