The Sunday night matchup of NFL Wild Card weekend will pit the Los Angeles Rams against the Detroit Lions. With a recent Super Bowl champion taking on a team that hasn’t won a playoff game since 1991, and two quarterbacks facing their former teams, this game has no shortage of intrigue in the first round of the playoffs. Continue reading for our Rams vs Lions Same Game Parlay as a part of our NFL betting picks for Sunday night’s showdown in Motown.
Rams vs Lions Same Game Parlay
- Rams +3
- Puka Nacua Over 77.5 Receiving Yards
- Michael Badgley Over 1.5 Made Field Goals
- +675 ($10 to win $67.5)
In the first leg of this Rams vs Lions Same Game Parlay, we will take the underdog to cover the spread. The Los Angeles Rams come into the playoffs playing some of the best football in the NFL, having won four straight games to secure their spot as the sixth-seed in the NFC. They will cover the spread as three-point underdogs here, whether they extend their winning streak or get eliminated with a loss to the Lions.
Next, we think there is some value in taking the over on Puka Nacua’s receiving yardage total for the Rams. Nacua set the rookie records for both receptions and receiving yards this season and should continue to benefit from defenses having to give so much attention to Cooper Kupp. With Nacua likely matching up against the second-best corner on the Lions for most of this game, he should perform well statistically.
Finally, we are adding a kicker over to our Rams vs Lions SGP. Michael Badgley will make over 1.5 field goals for the Lions in this game. While we have the Rams covering the spread, the Lions settling for field goals when they get into scoring range will help them do so. Look for Detroit to get stopped in the red zone a couple of times in this game and for Badgley to clean things up for Detroit with at least two made kicks.
