- SportsLine's computer model built a six-leg Week 2 NFL parlay paying nearly $1.6 million on a $10 bet, simulating every NFL game 10,000 times and entering Week 2 on a 53-39 run on top-rated picks since 2024.
- The model is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since inception.
- The only fully revealed leg is Both Teams to Score 25+ Points in Cowboys vs. Commanders (+280), backed by Dallas ranking dead last in scoring defense and Washington dead last in total defense since the start of the 2025 season.
- Dallas has scored at least 30 points in four straight games versus Washington with Dak Prescott under center, and SportsLine's model projects both teams to score at least 28 points in the 4:25 p.m. ET matchup.
- Seahawks vs. Cardinals (+4.5, 41.5) — Seattle has beaten Arizona by exactly 10 points in four of their last eight meetings; an alternate spread of Seahawks (-9.5) pays +174, though Sam Darnold is dealing with a glute injury.
- The remaining five legs, including multiple touchdown props paying over +1200, are gated behind SportsLine's site — readers cannot see the full parlay from the article alone.
- Promotional plugs for Polymarket ($50 bonus via code CBSSPORTS after $10 in trades) and Kalshi ($25 bonus via code CBSSPORTS after $25+ in trades) are embedded alongside the betting content.
Why it matters: The model's documented 53-39 record on top-rated picks gives bettors a concrete track record to weigh against the $1.6 million payout hook, but the article discloses only one of six legs and directs readers to SportsLine's site for the rest — making this more a paywalled product teaser than a usable betting breakdown.
