The correct phrase to use in reference to last Monday’s Seahawks-Giants parlay is … “cucked.” DK Metcalf barely saw the field in the second half and couldn’t get the last 16 yards we needed to cash our same game parlay bet. That’s not happening tonight, as we’re back and ready to SMASH this Packers-Raiders same game parlay.
It looks as if the Packers offense is getting healthy with Aaron Jones and Christian Watson likely back in full, so we need to get in on the action.
Just a warning: I’m NOT here to give you the ridiculous +19058396 parlays you see posted on Twitter. So if you think winners like those happen all the time … you don’t have to go home, but you might wanna get the heck up out of here. I’m here to teach you how to build your NFL betting bankroll by finding player prop bets and lines to exploit in your parlays while using the sportsbooks’ promos against them.

Packers-Raiders Same Game Parlay Bet for Monday Night Football
Josh Jacobs 50+ Rushing Yards (Alt Prop)
It all starts with Josh Jacobs on the Raiders side of the ball today. We’re firing up the alternate rushing prop bet of 50-plus yards. His traditional rushing prop is sitting somewhere around 72.5 depending on where you find it, so 50 should be a shoe-in. The Packers face the most rushing attempts from opposing running backs and are giving up right around 115 yards per game. On a per-attempt basis, Green Bay is allowing 4.5 yards, and Jacobs has games with 48, 58 and 62 yards on the ground this season. With the Raiders not giving a super clear indication on how healthy Davante Adams is, or isn’t, this could be a big lean-on-Jacobs game. I’m expecting somewhere in the neighborhood of 17 to 20 rushing attempts for Jacobs tonight, and he should be able to hit that nice round number of 50 for us.
Aaron Jones Over 16.5 Receiving Yards (Alt Prop)
The last time we saw Aaron Jones fully healthy, he was blistering down the field on a massive catch and run. Well, the fella looks to be all the way back this week, and this 16.5 receiving yards number seems low. The Raiders have given up the 12th-most receptions to running backs per game this year (5.25 catches on 6.25 targets). Do I expect Jones to get five catches? Probably not. Do I expect him to be an easy outlet for Jordan Love? Yes. And with Jones averaging right at 8 yards per reception in his career, I think he could have one of those three-catch, 30-yard games.
AARON JONES INJURY UPDATE: According to Tom Pelissero, Jones is trending toward OUT tonight against the Raiders. Apparently, the hamstring injury is giving him more issues than originally reported. Do beware if you’re reading this.
Christian Watson 40+ Receiving Yards (Alt Prop)
We saw Christian Watson get worked back into the mix against the Detroit Lions in Week 4, and with an extended week to get healthy, Watson carries no injury designation into Monday Night Football. He received only four targets last week, but that number is surely going to rise tonight. I don’t foresee Romeo Doubs getting peppered with 13 targets again. Watson has some big-play ability, so one 40-yard reception is definitely not out of the question. But with an increase in targets and Watson likely to be one of Love’s top options, give me the 40-plus yards here and let’s cash this parlay ticket.
Final Packers-Raiders Same-Game Parlay Bet for Monday Night Football
Leg 1: Josh Jacobs 50+ Rushing Yards (Alt Prop)
Leg 2: Aaron Jones Over 16.5 Receiving Yards (Prop)
Leg 3: Christian Watson 40+ Receiving Yards (Alt Prop)
