Best Dog Bets To Parlay This Weekend

Chargers vs Broncos (-2½)

• Total: Over 40 (-110), Under 40 (-110)
• Day/Time: Sunday, Jan. 8, 4:25 p.m. ET
• Stream: NFL Game Pass

Whether they’ll rest their starters or play them a bit, Los Angeles will not lose to the Broncos. In fact, it should be favored on the NFL lines. The Chargers are more disciplined and functional as a team. Brandon Staley is finally earning his chops as a coach and the Chargers’ “D” is picking up steam. The Broncos have all but quit. They are 1-7 in their last eight games.

Pick: Los Angeles Chargers +125

 Buccaneers vs Falcons (-4)

• Total: Over 40½ (-110), Under 40½ (-110)
• Day/Time: Sunday, Jan. 8, 1:00 p.m. ET
• Stream: NFL Game Pass

Even when Tom Brady and his fellow starters take a much-needed break, Todd Bowles’ fourth-ranked road defense should be able to limit Atlanta’s ninth-ranked home offense. Blaine Gabbert is one of the most experienced backups and will outplay his younger counterpart, Desmond Ridder. On top of that, Atlanta is 2-8 as an NFL pick against the spread (ATS) in its last 10 games. Fade it.

Pick: Tampa Bay Buccaneers +170

TCU Horned Frogs vs Georgia Bulldogs (-12)

• Total: Over 63 (-110), Under 63 (-110)
• Day/Time: Monday, Jan. 9, 7:30 p.m. ET
• Stream: ESPN

Perhaps the best underdog of this parlay is the one going against the actual Dawgs. Texas Christian proved it was more than capable by upsetting Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines. This team can flat out ball while Georgia’s overrated defense was exposed by Ohio State. Georgia could still pull this off. But a dozen points on the NCAA football lines? Take the points and TCU as it gives Georgia a run for its money.

Pick: TCU Horned Frogs +12 (-110)

Gervonta Davis (-1600) vs Hector Luis Garcia

• Total: Over 7½ (-160), Under 7½ (+130)
• Weight Class (Rounds): Lightweight, 135 lbs. (3 Rounds)
• Day/Time: Saturday, Jan. 7, 10 p.m. ET
• Stream: Pay-per-view

Folks are betting against this one to go under likely due to Garcia’s style combined with Davis being seemingly distracted. They’re misreading it. Davis will be razor sharp and focused and will need a few clean punches to put Garcia away. The underdog can be tricky but is still hittable as shown in his last few fights. The boxing betting odds should have this one going under.
Pick: Under 7½ (+130)

Rashidi Ellis (-700) vs Roiman Villa

• Total: Over 10½ (-250), Under 10½ (+200)
• Weight Class (Rounds): Welterweight, 147 lbs. (12 Rounds)
• Day/Time: Saturday, Jan. 7, 8 p.m. ET
• Stream: Pay-per-view

Another bout on the same card should feature another early finish. Rashidi Ellis should pick apart Roiman Villa and beat him at his own game. Villa is a power puncher and will likely make the mistake of head-hunting against Ellis. The American is significantly faster and is an underrated counter-puncher. He’ll catch Villa slipping and put him away. Bet online on him to get it done before the 10th round.

Pick: Under 10½ (+200)

Parlay: Davis-Garcia Under, Ellis-Villa Under, Chargers, Buccaneers, and TCU +12 (+7902)
