Seahawks-Broncos on Thursday Night Football plus a three-game Friday college football slate. Three parlays with the best prices, including a long-shot underdog ticket at +1087.
Thursday night brings a National Football League prime-time game, and Friday gives us a trio of college football games that all sit close to key numbers. We checked the market for the best price on every leg and built three parlays from it. Odds are American format, and the bookmaker with the best price is named on every leg.
Thursday National Football League: Seattle Seahawks at Denver Broncos (8:15 PM ET)
The consensus line is Seattle -3 with a total of 41.5. The best Seahawks spread price is -106 at FanDuel, and Denver +3 is -105 at theScore Bet. The moneyline split is wide: Denver is +140 at theScore Bet and Seattle is -152 at Courtside.
Denver +140 implies about a 41.7% win probability, while Seattle -152 implies about 60.3%. A three-point spread is roughly a coin flip once you account for the key number of 3, so the Broncos at home look slightly generous at +140. Our form feed returned no results for either team this week, so we are not leaning on recent form. This is a price-driven read. A 41.5 total also points to a grind, and the Under at -105 at theScore Bet is the better-priced side compared with the Over at -110.
Friday College Football Slate
Memphis Tigers at Tulane Green Wave (7:30 PM ET)
Memphis is a -7 road favorite. The best price is -105 at Caesars, with the moneyline at -238 (theScore Bet). Tulane +7 is -110 at Courtside, and the Green Wave moneyline is +210 at Caesars. We have no team context on either side, so the price is the main argument. Memphis at -105 is the cheapest way to back the favorite.
Appalachian State Mountaineers at Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (8:00 PM ET)
This is the tightest game on the board. App State is -1.5 at -105 (theScore Bet), while Coastal Carolina is +106 on the moneyline at BetRivers. The home side getting plus money on a game this close is the sort of price we flag. The 51.5 total has the Over at -110 (BetMGM) and the Under at -103 (Courtside).
Washington Huskies at Purdue Boilermakers (8:00 PM ET)
Purdue is a -3 home favorite, with the best price at -112 (Caesars). Washington +3 is available at -102 at BetMGM, which is the best price on the board for a key-number underdog. The Huskies moneyline is +140 at theScore Bet. The 52.5 total is priced at -108 on both sides, with the Under at Courtside and the Over at BetMGM.
Recommended Parlays
Parlay 1: Spread and Under Mix (+655)
- Memphis Tigers -7 at -105 (Caesars)
- Washington Huskies +3 at -102 (BetMGM)
- Seattle Seahawks at Denver Broncos Under 41.5 at -105 (theScore Bet)
Every leg here sits at or near even money, so a three-leg ticket pays about +655. It combines a road favorite laying a touchdown, a college underdog with the key number of 3, and a low NFL total.
Parlay 2: Denver Plus the Totals (+618)
- Denver Broncos +3 at -105 (theScore Bet)
- Washington Huskies at Purdue Boilermakers Under 52.5 at -108 (Courtside)
- Appalachian State Mountaineers at Coastal Carolina Chanticleers Over 51.5 at -110 (BetMGM)
This one takes the three points at home with Denver, then splits the totals: one Under and one Over from different games. The price is about +618, and no two legs share a game.
Parlay 3: Underdog Moneyline Long Shot (+1087)
- Denver Broncos moneyline at +140 (theScore Bet)
- Coastal Carolina Chanticleers moneyline at +106 (BetRivers)
- Washington Huskies moneyline at +140 (theScore Bet)
All three underdogs are within a field goal or less of their opponents, and each is priced at plus money. The combined price is about +1087. This is the high-variance ticket, so size it as a small stake rather than a core play.
Where the Value Sits
- Washington +3 at -102 (BetMGM): the best number on the board at the key number of 3.
- Coastal Carolina +106 (BetRivers): a home side priced as a slight underdog in a one-score game.
- Denver +140 (theScore Bet): generous compared with a spread of only three points.
Where to place these parlays
A parlay has to be placed at a single sportsbook, so the best price for each individual leg is not always available together. These are the live prices for each whole parlay at the sportsbooks that offer every leg.
| Parlay | Best price | Next best |
|---|---|---|
| Parlay 1 (3 legs) | BetMGM +645 | Courtside +641, Caesars +630 |
| Parlay 2 (3 legs) | BetMGM +597 | Courtside +593, Bally Bet +579 |
| Parlay 3 (3 legs) | Hard Rock Bet +1032 | Bally Bet +1018, betPARX +1018 |
Shop each leg before you place it, because the gap between the best and worst price on a three-leg ticket adds up quickly. Please gamble responsibly, only stake what you can afford to lose, and seek help if betting stops being fun.
