Phillips’ Week 6 NFL Parlay Pick

I don’t know if any of you were up at 1:00am on Thursday morning, but I turned it over to NFL Live on ESPN. They rattled off a stat that was pretty schocking: West Coast teams playing the 1:00 Sunday game, on the East Coast are 0-10 this year. The only game that specifically fits that criteria this week is Oakland at New Orleans. NO is a 7 point favorite. I am a little unsure about NO, but I still think they have the ability to win this game even after their tough loss on Monday night. Since NO is a 3-1 favorite to win we need to find an underdog team that has the potential win outright. Based on the recent play of Miami, they will definetly be competitive in the game against the Texans. The Texans are coming off a very tough last second loss to Indianapolis. The Texans are bound to win one game and their record doesn’t reflect the fact that they are actually a decent team, a team that had much higher expectations for this season. Miami is +140 on the money line so they add some value to the parlay. The Texans are going in the wrong direction after that loss and Miami is on a roll right now. So I will take Miami and New Orleans both to win. The parlay pays a little over 2 to 1, which seems like a good value when the Saints seem to be a lock to win.

2 Team Parlay: New Orleans & Miami (Rating +2)

New Orleans won in complete blowout and Miami disappointed after scoring a TD with less than 2 minutes left, but gave up TD in the final seconds of the game.
