Free Week 2 NFL Parlay Picks – 2 Sets of NFL Parlay Predictions

• We get another opportunity to throw together some NFL parlays as Week 2 features 14 games on Sunday
• I am offering two different NFL parlays for Week 2, one that is just a few legs and has a higher-probability of winning and one longshot with a big potential payout
• See my two NFL parlays for Week 2 below

I’m back for another week of NFL parlay picks! After cashing one of two NFL parlays last week, I’m going to do the same thing in offering one longshot NFL parlay that would pay out big (more than 120-1 this week), and then one smaller, higher-probability NFL parlay. Yes, as I acknowledged last week, I am aware saying any parlay is “high-probability” may be an oxymoron. But we cashed it last week. So, deal with it.

With 15 NFL Week 2 games still to be played, there are plenty of options for parlays. If you want to jump quickly to one of the two NFL parlays, you can use the links below.

I’ll have some brief analysis on each parlay underneath the table featuring the picks.

Longshot NFL Parlay for Week 2

We’re getting just better than 120-1 odds on this seven-leg NFL parlay at ESPN Bet, which is the sportsbook with the best payout. Not only did it beat out DraftKings’ odds (118-1) here, but we actually got a few more points to play with on the Broncos team total leg. All the other books gave me troubles getting the numbers I wanted or had much worse total odds.

Let me dive into some brief analysis on why I like each of the seven legs! A few of these bets have been pulled from other articles I have published on SBD, so I’ll try not to double-up on the explanations where I can.

I covered why I love a Jayden Daniels anytime TD against the Giants this week in my NFL anytime touchdown picks, and the 60+ rushing yards for Daniels is along the same line of thinking. He’s going to run early and often.

I also touched on a Jonathan Taylor anytime TD in the article linked above. I like the Colts to find themselves with a positive game script for most of this one, as I don’t see how Jordan Love can be effective if he does play. This also covers why I’m a fan of the Colts -3. Admittedly, I expected this line to open closer to seven after seeing Love go down last week and the Colts put up a hell of a game against the Texans.

As a Broncos fan, taking the Steelers -6.5 pains me a little. But it feels even worse taking the under on Denver’s team total of 17.5. Even though Kirk Cousins did not get many reps in this offseason, I still think Atlanta’s offense is better off than Denver’s at the moment, and they managed 10 points against Pittsburgh last week. Bo Nix did not look like the QB we saw in the preseason, as the bright lights of his first NFL start may have gotten to him. He has a lot more to worry about in Week 2 with TJ Watt, arguably the most disruptive player in the NFL right now, coming off the edge. I think we see Nix overwhelmed and turning the ball over again.

I cashed on Bijan Robinson for 40+ receiving yards in Week 1 with +225 odds, and am surprised I’m still getting +175 odds this week, after he caught five balls for 43 yards against the Steelers. Atlanta handed the ball off 21 times last week, as it was a one-score game for almost the entire 60 minutes. I think Philadelphia is going to force the Falcons to play with more urgency, but (a) the Falcons will still want to put the ball in Bijan’s hands, and (b) Kirk Cousins is the checkdown king.

Higher-Probability NFL Parlay for Week 2

If you’re looking for a safer NFL parlay with a higher-probability of cashing, or need something that qualifies for one of the SGPx or parlay odds boosts being offered to you, the 3-leg parlay above is what I’m playing. If any of your boosts call for a fourth leg, I’d add a safer line for Garrett Wilson’s receiving yards.

FanDuel has the best odds for this NFL parlay, but if you’re willing to take Cooper Kupp at 75+ receiving yards (or bump him down to 50+), then bet365 is a great option as well.

Here’s some quick analysis on why I love the three legs above!

Starting with the Chargers moneyline, I don’t see how the Panthers team we watched last week gets many wins this season. Will it be that bad all year? Who knows. But I at least don’t see any miraculous turnaround in just one week. Plus, Jim Harbaugh is now 45-19 as a coach in the NFL. He doesn’t typically lose games he shouldn’t. It may not be pretty, and they may not cover the spread, but I don’t see how LA doesn’t at least win this game.

I talked a fair bit about the Rams in my NFL moneyline picks, so you can further justification for Rams +3.5 there if you’d like. But ultimately, the Rams are going to be ok as long as Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp are healthy. Sean McVay has a great record against the Cardinals, and I don’t see Arizona changing that on Sunday. But if they do manage to get a win, it’s likely a very tight game decided by a field goal.

One more time for good measure…

The Rams offense is going to be back to the Kupp show, evident by the 21(!) targets he saw last week, with Puka Nacua on the IR. Kupp turned those targets into 14 receptions for 110 yards. While he may not see as many targets this week, mostly because I suspect LA to be playing with a positive game script, there’s no way (other than injury) that Kupp records less than 60 receiving yards. In the 17 games of the 2021-22 season, the last time Stafford & Kupp were healthy and there was no Puka, Kupp only had less than 92 receiving yards once, but still had 64 yards. Kupp for 60+ receiving yards should be much longer odds than -330.
