Welcome to our parlay and player prop research for the Week 8 NFL slate. Take a look at the numbers we are including in every bet for today and play them either straight or in a parlay.
The lineup for today
We are back with another great lineup of Sunday games, starting off with the Texans traveling to Carolina, the 49ers hosting the Bengals, the Eagles welcoming the Commanders, and finishing off with the Patriots at the Dolphins. In our lineup for the day we are first looking at one QB to go over his passing yards and another to go under, one running back to struggle against a stifling run defense, and finally a same game parlay featuring one of the highest powered offenses in the league. Let’s begin!
CJ Stroud o239.5 Passing Yards (-115) (DK) | Player Prop
Stroud has had an immense beginning to his NFL career, willing this Texans team to a 3-3 record when the projections for Houston this year were dismal. He has shown incredible maturity for being a rookie and has managed to hit this number in all but one game as a pro so far. Likewise, he has shown great poise when playing on the road, where he has maintained a perfect record against this line this season, averaging 257 yards passing in those games. With the Texans traveling to a struggling Carolina team, Stroud should have a fantastic opportunity to continue this trend this week and continue his fantastic rookie season with a trademark victory over fellow rookie Bryce Young.
Joe Burrow u250.5 Passing Yards (-115) (DK) | Player Prop
Though the Bengals have looked to turn some things around from their early season struggles, the team has still largely underperformed this year as Burrow himself has struggled. He has only managed to go over this line twice this year and finds himself lining up against one of the premier defenses in the entire league in the 49ers. The 49ers are coming off two disappointing losses in a row and will be looking to make a major statement this week back at home, which should give Burrow plenty of trouble. As the Bengals quarterback has struggled throughout this season, we are expecting this matchup to get to him and for the under to prevail yet again.

Brian Robinson u39.5 Rushing Yards (-140) (DK) | Player Prop
Robinson started off the season well, but has struggled noticeably as of late, particularly as a lot of his workload has been usurped by Chris Rodriguez. Regardless of the split of touches in the backfield, the Commanders are likely to struggle running the ball as they line up against the number one ranked rush defense of the Eagles. This year, the Eagles have only allowed 49 yards per game on the ground, so especially with the work in the backfield being increasingly divided, Robinson should struggle to get over this line and the under should hit again.
New England Patriots @ Miami Dolphins (+126) | Same Game Parlay
We are going to be featuring one parlay which we believe has great upside potential for this slate. This week we are going to focus in on the Dolphins hosting the New England Patriots. Our parlay for the day will have three legs, first with Tua throwing for 225 or more passing yards, then for running back Raheem Mostert to rush for at least 40 yards and a score. The Dolphins have been an offensive spectacle to witness this year, even with the departure of Achane to the IR. Tua has taken full advantage of his arsenal of weapons, spreading the ball around and hitting this line in all but one game this year. On the ground, Mostert has dominated this season, with or without Achane, hitting these lines in five out of seven games so far. With a home matchup against a weak Patriots team, we are expecting the Dolphins to continue rolling and for all these lines to hit in stride as they have most of the year.
In review, we are taking:
- Tua Tagovailoa 225+ Passing Yards
- Raheem Mostert 40+ Rushing Yards
- Raheem Mostert Anytime Touchdown Scorer
This is currently being offered for +125 on Draftkings, but running it through our parlay optimizer, across all of this season, this parlay hit in 57% of games, giving it implied odds of -135.
