Can Paul's NFL Parlay Hit Again?

Folks, two successful parlays is certainly noteworthy, but to truly prove I have skill worthy of calling these parlays “perfect," we need to extend the streak to three this week.

And here is how we are going to do it…

Parlay Pick #1: Green Bay Packers Vs Chicago Bears

I’m very bullish on rookie quarterback Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears (3.0) long-term, as I admire any man who paints his nails then slings the pigskin for over 300 yards. I truly believe the future is bright for young Williams, but that bright future starts well after this Sunday.

In the midst of a three-game losing streak topped off by an embarrassing loss to the New England Patriots, which saw Chicago only generate 3 points, Dah Bears look anything but ready for a capable Green Bay Packers (1.42) team.

Despite coming off a 24-14 loss against the Detroit Lions in a game with big NFC North implications, the Packers have the better team and quarterback in Jordan Love to right the ship during Week 11.

Favored by 5 points, the Packers covering the spread is my first pick this week, whether it be through a touchdown or two field goals.

Parlay Pick #2: Los Angeles Rams Vs New England Patriots

Quarterback Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams (1.44) have looked nothing like the team that won the Super Bowl only a few years ago, especially during last week’s brutal loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Even though the Rams have certainly struggled throughout the season so far, that does not change the fact they are playing a truly crappy New England Patriots (2.88) squad this Sunday.

Yes, New England may be coming off a 19-3 victory over Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears, but let’s not forget this is the same Patriots team that lost 6 games in a row earlier this year.

I often point out how quarterback comparisons way heavily into my predictions, and while Matthew Stafford certainly has an edge over Patriots rookie QB Drake Maye, this week I’m making a position comparison that may be even more important.

Despite him coaching in the same division as my beloved Seattle Seahawks, I have become quite the fan of Rams coach Sean McVay as he has emerged as one of the best coaches in the NFL. I’m sure New England head coach Jerod Mayo is a nice guy, but he is no Bill Belichick.

Look for McVay to have made the necessary adjustments coming into this week, as the Rams cover the 4.5 point spread.

Parlay Pick #3: Cincinnati Bengals Vs Los Angeles Chargers

Many years before I loved Sean McVay, Jim Harbaugh captured my heart with his khakis and insistence on wearing cleats on the sideline, as he has found success in both the NFL and college football.

Time will tell who is the better quarterback between Cincinnati Bengals (2.06) QB Joe Burrow and rising star Justin Herbert, but it cannot be debated that not only is Jim Harbaugh the better coach, but his team has performed well for sports bettors this season.

Fun fact: the Los Angeles Chargers (1.80) are 6-1 this year when it comes to covering the spread when favored. 

The Chargers are on a three game win streak as the Bengals grow increasingly desperate with their postseason hopes continuing to dwindle.

Although I’m quite confident the Chargers will get it done this week, I much prefer simply taking them to win outright instead of covering the 1.5 point spread (call me weird, crazy etc.). 

This will be my first time this year picking the favorite team without covering, but with only the smallest difference in odds with the 1.5 spread, I’ll sleep peacefully recommending this bet.
