This week’s Monday Night Football two-game schedule could feature the highest-scoring Monday this season. No exaggeration!

Our NFL bets for a MNF parlay bank on the totals to go over and here is why.
Top 3 Parlay Bets for Monday Night Football Week 7
1. Ravens, Bucs Easily Blow Up the Total
Baltimore and Tampa Bay are two of the best defensive teams in theory. In practice, their defenses are porous, while their offenses are red-hot.
The Ravens score the fourth-most points in the NFL (29.5 per game), while the Buccaneers score 29.7 (second overall). It’s no shock that their games have combined to go over the total nine out of 12 times. We will bet online that this trend continues.
The Ravens will score more than half the total here. Baltimore isn’t just scoring a lot of points, but it’s putting up yards at a historic rate at 453.7 per game. The combo of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry is nearly impossible to stop.
Tampa Bay has given up at least 26 points in three of its last four games. It gave up 550 yards against the Falcons in Week 5, then allowed 27 points in one quarter against rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler playing his first game in last week’s win over the Saints.
On the flip side, the Bucs did drop 51 points in that shootout with Atlanta. Quarterback Baker Mayfield is playing like an MVP contender.
He leads the NFL with 15 touchdown passes and has a career-best 109.4 passer rating. And he can score on this weak Ravens pass defense.
Baltimore has given up the second-most passing yards (275.7) per game, and opposing quarterbacks average a 102.5 passer rating (sixth-highest in the league). Mayfield can torch Baltimore’s lacking secondary, especially with his weapons at receiver even if Mike Evans can’t play due to an injury.
What’s likely to happen here is Baltimore building up a big lead over Tampa Bay, only for the Bucs to rally as Dallas did against the Ravens in Week 3. One of the best MNF parlay picks for you to add to your online sports betting is for this game’s total to go over.

2. Ravens’ Total Easily Goes Over
As stated earlier, the Ravens have a juggernaut of an offense, especially on the ground. Adding Henry, a former 2,000-yard rusher, has proven to be a home run.
Tampa Bay’s defense, which gives up 4.7 yards per carry and 1.33 rushing touchdowns per game, could get smoked. Baltimore to score over 26½ points is a strong addition to the MNF parlay.

Jackson and the Ravens have owned NFC teams with 10 straight wins. They’ve dropped at least 28 points against every NFC opponent since last season.
These teams, which usually do not face the Ravens, can’t figure out their offense. Even San Francisco got lit up like a Christmas tree late last season before the Ravens added Henry, and that was the NFL’s third-best scoring defense at the time.
The Ravens are flying high and staying humble. They’ll roll into Tampa and score at will.
This one is easy, don’t overthink it. Bet on Baltimore to go over its team total. Add it to the parlay as one of your NFL predictions for Monday night.

3. Chargers and Cardinals Light Up the Total
Tampa Bay and Baltimore won’t be the only scoring-fest. The Chargers and Cardinals won’t be outdone and will be a high-scoring game to cap off Week 7.
The total here is set at 44½ points, which is already high for a game. All but one of the Chargers’ games this season have gone under the total, but this one won’t since it’s against the Cardinals.
Arizona’s defense can get breached even by the low-scoring Chargers (18.2 points per game). The Cardinals have given up at least 34 points in three of their six games.
And the Chargers still have Justin Herbert at quarterback. He can throw the rock like Josh Allen or Jordan Love if Jim Harbaugh lets him.
Ladd McConkey & Justin Herbert may be the throw and catch of the year so far.

But even if the Chargers stick to running the ball, the Cardinals’ rushing defense gives up 153 yards per game. They give up the highest third-down conversion rate at 49.3%, meaning the Chargers will get to scoring range frequently.
With Kyler Murray at quarterback for Arizona, however, the Cardinals can score right back. That’s why seven of their last nine games as a home underdog have gone over the total.
This final of our NFL picks is for the Chargers-Cardinals game to go over. Parlay it.
