· 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 Orleans Saints @ Carolina Panthers
Story: Baker mayfield excels without pressure.
Mayfield sees pretty drastic splits depending on whether or not he sees pressure.
· The Saints are dead-last in the NFL with 12% pressure rate: Baker should have clean pockets to throw from all day.
· DJ Moore's breakout nigh: He has been quiet so far in 2022, but Moore is a top-25 PFF-graded receiver each of the past three years. He is far too talented to be kept off the board for long.

Minnesota Vikings vs Detroit Lions
Story: Kirk Cousins cooks man coverage
· Kirk Cousins has absolutely dominated against man coverage since 2019: The good news for him this week? The Lions have played the second-most man coverage of any team, with a 47% zone rate through two weeks.
· Justin Jefferson is the best WR in the NFL vs. single coverage: Look for Kevin O'connell to scheme his best weapon on advantageous 1-on-1 matchups facing a man-heavy scheme.
Build: FD +2012:
· Justin Jefferson 2 TDs

· Justin Jefferson 125+ Yards
· Minnesota Vikings -6
Atlanta Falcons @ Seattle Seahawks
Story: Falcons quietly have led successful offense drives to start 2022. Look for them in a favorable matchup in Seattle to move the ball efficiently.
· Kyle Pitts seems like a good bet — and a buy-low candidate: Pitts is second on his team in target share, and tight ends are averaging 62 receiving yards against the Seahawks so far. Pitts led the Falcons with 17 red-zone targets last season and is a good bet to see some red-zone looks in this one as the Falcons build on their impressive offensive drive profile.
