- Mike Tierney, a SportsLine NFL expert, released Week 3 parlay picks; he's 320-271-16 over the past four NFL seasons and 130-101 ATS (56.3%) the past two seasons.
- Seahawks money line vs. Commanders anchors the favorites parlay — Washington is without injured QB Jayden Daniels (3-10 SU without him) while Seattle is 15-2 SU traveling under coach Mike Macdonald.
- Bengals money line vs. Steelers is in the favorites parlay, with Pittsburgh managing just one touchdown across 25 possessions and Aaron Rodgers yet to complete a deep ball.
- Rams money line vs. Broncos rounds out the favorites — Denver ranks 25th in offense and has three of four rostered running backs ailing.
- Buccaneers money line vs. Vikings tops the underdogs slate, as Minnesota ranks last in yards and 25th in yards allowed; Baker Mayfield has eluded blitzes well against blitz-heavy DC Brian Flores.
- Cowboys money line vs. Ravens is another underdogs play in the Brazil game, with Dallas holding a receiver edge via CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens; Baltimore's Zay Flowers may not suit up and the Ravens' loss to the Saints last week raised concerns about a John Harbaugh-to-Jesse Minter transition.
Why it matters: Tierney's 56.3% ATS record over two seasons gives bettors a quantified track record for evaluating his six-leg parlays. The favorites side leans on opponents' offensive collapse — Steelers' one TD in 25 possessions, Denver's 25th-ranked offense — while the underdog picks rest on situational spots: the Vikings' bottom-ranked yardage metrics and the Cowboys' receiver advantage in the unpredictable Brazil venue.
