Let’s break down the Commanders vs Buccaneers odds and find the best bets.

3 Top Parlay Picks for a Commanders vs Buccaneers Parlay

1. Baker Mayfield Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (-197)

Put some respect on Baker Mayfield’s name. That’s something most people, including the NFL media, have not done. But that’s alright as the former first-overall pick is playing like one of the best quarterbacks this season. And you know what? He plays better with a chip on his shoulder, so he should easily throw for two touchdowns here.

Mayfield threw for a career-high 41 TDs this regular season. That’s 2.4 per game. This bumps up to 2.7 when he’s playing at home. He’s tossed 2+ TDs in seven of his nine home games. This includes four in the first meeting with Washington in Week 1.

Most notably, Mayfield has also played spectacularly during the Wild Card Round. He’s thrown for 3+ TDs in his two starts. He’s averaging a 117.6 passer rating in these games. Even if he’s not this prolific, he only needs two TDs to hit this NFL expert pick today.

Bet This Parlay Pick: Baker Mayfield Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (-197)

2. Bucky Irving Over 88.5 Rushing Yards (-127)

While Mayfield torches Washington through the air, Bucky Irving gashes it on the ground. He’s quietly produced a prolific season with 1,122 rushing yards and a 5.4 average per carry. Tampa is also 6-0 when he rushes for 80+ yards, which is the focus of this NFL player prop.

Irving should rush for 89+ yards against Washington. The Commanders have a porous rushing defense and allow an average of 114 yards against running backs. Washington has also allowed 110+ rushing yards in seven of its eight road games this season.

The rookie has commanded over 80% of Tampa’s carries in the last three games. And even if Rachaad White gets half, Irving has been more productive. Bet online on Irving to go over his rushing total.

Bet This Parlay Pick: Bucky Irving Over 88.5 Rushing Yards (-127)

3. Washington Commanders Total Touchdowns Over 2.5 (-129)

Mayfield and Irving can go ‘ham’ on Washington. But the Commanders will still put up a fight. We like the total to go over 50 points, which means the Commanders will score at least three touchdowns. Washington has 56 TDs this season, which is 3.3 per game. On the road, this is still 3.1 a game.

The Buccaneers have started to play well defensively. They’ve held five of their last seven opponents under 20 points, which is no more than two touchdowns. But Tampa has also struggled against dual-threat quarterbacks like Jayden Daniels.

The rookie QB should be good enough to create 3+ TDs, especially if Washington falls behind. Washington has only failed to score three TDs in three games this season though all came on the road. This one’s a solid NFL game prediction in regards to this parlay.

Bet This Parlay Pick: Commanders Total Touchdowns Over 2.5 (-129)
