· While same game parlays (SGPs) are big money makers for the sportsbooks, that does not mean betting edges don't exist. SGPs offer two unique opportunities unavailable in other markets: they uniquely tell a story that we can create through props, spreads, and totals; and (2) SGPs allow us to combine outcomes that are correlated through a particular game angle, but will not be priced into the odds set by books.
· The goal in this space, then, will be to hit on SGPs that either tell unique stories about games and/or uncover correlated outcomes available only through SGPs.
New York Jets vs. Miami Dolphins
Story: Garrett Wilson Continues to Dominate Man Coverage
• The Dolphins play man defense on almost half of their snaps: Great news for Garett Wilson, who leads in the NFL in PFF grade before the catch point facing man coverage.
• Advantage, Wilson: Of course, as we studied at PFF this summer, man coverage reflects the talent on the field, and Wilson will have the advantage over the Dolphins corners — all of whom are graded right about average before the catch point while in man coverage.
• Wilson eighth in the NFL with 8 red zone targets: With the Jets' top pick also a threat to score from anywhere on the field, he could be a big play and some schemed red-zone looks might just be the recipe for an enormous SGP cash.

Minnesota Vikings vs. Chicago Bears
Story: Vikings ride dalvin Cook to cover vs. bears
• At 70%, Cook is fifth among NFL running backs in team rush share and eighth overall in carries: And this matchup should yield plenty of volume for Cook. As illustrated above, teams choose to attack the Bears on the ground, running nearly 12% more than expected.
• Bears' 5.1 yards per carry allowed ranks 30th in the NFL: And they are PFF’s sixth-worst-graded run defense unit.
• Chicago already has allowed at least 130 rushing yards in a game to Aaron Jones and Saquon Barkley: Plus, the Bears' 1.3 rushing touchdowns surrendered per game is the fifth-worst rate in the league.

Philadelphia Eagles at Arizona Cardinals
Story: Cardinals blitzes give Hurts trouble en route to upset win
• Jalen Hurts (5th in EPA) has been terrific so far this season, but an area where he has struggled is handling the blitz: And he's been well-below-average in this department — both for his career and this season. Although he has struggled against the blitz, Hurts only has been blitzed 25% of the time — which is a bottom-10 rate in the NFL.
• Cardinals blitz second most in the NFL: At 44% blitz rate, Arizona will try and send extra pressure at Hurts early and often.
• Hurts in 4th in rush percentage in his career against blitzes: Not only has Hurts struggled against the blitz, but he also has a propensity to run when blitzed: 4th in rush percentage on blitzes for his career and for this season. Look for Hurts to scramble, which suggests a lean toward his rushing over and perhaps fewer passes to get him under his passing total.
