NFL Week 4 Same Game Parlay Picks & Predictions: Vikings vs. Saints (2022)

Minnesota Vikings -3 at New Orleans Saints (in London) Total 43.5 

• Leg 1: Under 43.5
• Leg 2: Chris Olave over 38.5 receiving yards
• Leg 3: Alexander Mattison over 17.5 rushing yards
• Odds: +540

This has the makings of an ugly game in London. Andy Dalton will start for the Saints with Jameis Winston injured. The Saints will also be without Michael Thomas, which could open the door to a breakout game from Olave. For Minnesota, Dalvin Cook is expected to play, but I’d expect this to be more of a timeshare to limit Cook’s opportunities to worsen the injury. This won’t be the prettiest game to wake up to Sunday morning.

What is Betting Against the Spread?

Betting “against the spread” refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.

What is an Over/Under Bet?

Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.

What is a Moneyline Bet?

A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
