Parlay Card
With parlays, each game you place on your “card” MUST win for you to win the parlay. As you can see from the odds, your chances get smaller each time you input a result in. These odds will vary depending on what teams you select. For example, a big favorite in a game would help your odds, but most likely decrease your total payout. What’s a parlay card? A parlay is a single wager that links multiple wagers; to win the bet, the player must win all the wagers in the parlay. If the player loses one wager, (s)he loses the entire bet. However, if the player wins all the wagers in the parlay, (s)he wins a higher payoff than if (s)he had placed the bets separately.
Indianapolis Colts vs. Buffalo Bills
Sunday, January 9, 2020 – 1:05 PM EST at Bills Stadium
The Buffalo Bills finished the season 13-3 going on an absolute tear offensively in the second half of the season. They’ll welcome the 11-5 Indianapolis Colts for a 1:05pm EST kickoff on Saturday in the AFC Wild Card Playoffs.
The Buffalo Bills have put up some serious points on offense recently, scoring 56, 38, and 48 points in their last three games of the season. The offense is led by Josh Allen, who decided he wouldn’t be known for just his legs this season. Instead, Allen threw for 37 touchdowns and 4544 yards in the regular season and is on pace for at least a chance at the MVP award. He’ll get a couple of votes, I’m sure.
This offense scored 31.3 points per game, scoring a total of 60 touchdowns on the season. They converted nearly 50 percent of third downs and when they went for it on fourth down, they succeeded 80 percent of the time. The offense gained over 400 yards per game. While the passing game was excellent, so was the offensive line. The offensive line was very solid in the passing game and did well in run blocking when the Bills chose to run the ball.
However, on defense, the Bills had their problems. The defense allowed 23.4 points per game and just 375 points on the season, but still allowed 44 touchdowns with 4.6 yards per rush. The defense allowed 21 touchdowns on the ground and 366.3 yards per game.
The Colts should be able to run all over the Bills and also pass through an overrated secondary for the Bills. Buffalo has also struggled tackling this season. After Andrew Luck retired, the Colts went and sold Phillip Rivers on a plan. That plan helped them get back into the playoffs.
Meanwhile, the Chargers are not going to the playoffs. Anyway, the Colts have seen some inconsistency from Rivers as he has 24 touchdowns passing and 11 interceptions. The main star of this offense was rookie Jnathan Taylor, who ran for 11 touchdowns on 232 attempts for an average of five yards per carry. He’s in for a big game in this one.
The Colts averaged 28.2 points per game during the regular season and scored a total of 50 touchdowns. Per game, they would outgain you on first downs and many times rush on first down to make things a bit easier on the next couple of plays. The Colts weren’t the best on third down but they always had an answer on fourth down, converting 16 of 26 chances for 61.54 percent of the time.
The Colts offense should have no trouble scoring against the Bills but they’re going to have to keep up with one of the best offenses in football. On defense, the Colts have been the better team against the run and have the better coverage and secondary, but even the best secondary will have a hard time against the Bills.
I’d take over on the betting sites.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Washington Football Team
Saturday, January 9, 2020 – 8:15 PM EST FedEx Field
We can say whatever we want. Maybe Washington didn’t deserve the playoffs or maybe they did. They’re here nonetheless after going 7-9 on the season. They’ll welcome the 11-5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers to FedEx Field on Saturday night.
Parlay Card Odds
There was plenty of hype when the Buccaneers landed Tom Brady to be their quarterback. Bucs fans knew they’d see this very moment this year and that’s a playoff game. Tom Brady threw for 4633 yards along with 40 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. As the season progressed, he got better. Plain and simple.
His receiver Mike Evans hurt his knee during week 17 but the MRI showed no structural damage. We will see if Brady gets his wide receiver back for this game. The offense scored 30.8 points per game along with 59 touchdowns but will have a huge test against a very solid Washington defense. The Bucs gained a total of 6,295 yards on the season, which is more than most expected out of Brady and the Bucs.
On defense, the Bucs have struggled with plenty of missed tackles but have a pass rush that should get to Washington in this game. However, we should note that Washington has a solid pass protection and could prevent the Bucs from doing a ton of damage.
Washington will start Alex Smith, who has been easily the most consistent quarterback for Washington this season. He’s played eight games and thrown for 1,582 yards. But this is an offense that has struggled to score behind any quarterback.
The offense averaged just 20.9 points per game while the Bucs allowed just 20.6 points per game. Washington is a slow and methodical team that will try to wear you down on long drives. They just don’t convert on third very efficiently.
The defense has shown off an impressive pass rush and secondary that has left quarterbacks baffled this season. While you can’t fool Brady, you can at least rush his decision making and this defensive front will be all over him in this game.
Brady will have plenty of receivers for this game, even if Mike Evans can’t go. Washington has an incredible defense but the offense will struggle to score enough points. For my best bets, I like the Bucs by double digits in this one.
