- Week 2 concludes with the Atlanta Falcons vs Philadelphia Eagles on MNF
- Kirk Cousins has been much better in primetime lately than early in his career
- Below, see a three-leg, +476 Falcons vs Eagles same-game parlay
Seven plus-money underdogs have already cashed in Week 2 and the Atlanta Falcons (0-1. 0-0 away, 0-1 ATS) will look to make it eight when they face the Philadelphia Eagles (1-0, 0-0 home, 1-0 ATS) on Monday Night Football at Lincoln Financial Field at 8:20 pm ET.
Atlanta is a 5.5 or 6-point underdog in the Falcons vs Eagles odds for Monday Night Football. Kirk Cousins was notoriously shaky in primetime games early in his career and has a 3-10 career on MNF, but his three wins have all come in his last four chances. My Falcons vs Eagles same-game parlay for tonight banks on the veteran pivot having a relatively big night.
Falcons vs Eagles Same-Game Parlay
| Pick | Odds |
|---|---|
| Over 46.5 Points | +102 |
| Kirk Cousins 250+ Passing Yards | +172 |
| Bijan Robinson Over 30.5 Receiving Yards | -110 |
| Falcons vs Eagles SGP Total Odds | +476 |
My three-leg Falcons vs Eagles SGP comes out to a tidy +476 potential payout, which means a $100 wager would profit $476 if all three legs hit.

Sascha Paruk’s 2024 NFL picks: 7-5 (+1.84 units)
Falcons vs Eagles SGP Pick #1: Over 46.5 Points
The first leg of this SGP is over the alt-total of 46.5 at +102 odds. The standard total is 45.5 at -110 odds, but it’s good value taking it up a single point to get into plus-money. Very few NFL games end on 46 (just 1.77% of games this century, per Jimmy Boyd).
The Eagles late-season collapse last year (six losses in their last seven games including playoffs) was characterized by horrendous defensive play. They surrendered 27 or more points in five of thos seven games and 30-plus four times. While they picked up a victory in Week 1 against Green Bay down in Brazil, the defense was highly suspect in that 34-29 win. The Packers amassed 414 total yards of offense including 251 through the air but were undone by ten penalties.
The Falcons couldn’t muster much in their 18-10 Week 1 loss to Pittsburgh, but the Steelers have an elite defense (which only gave up six points to Denver in Week 2). Atlanta is going to have a much easier time moving the ball against Philly.
ATL vs PHI Same-Game Parlay Pick #2: Kirk Cousins 250+ Passing Yards
The second leg, Kirk Cousins to go over 249.5 passing yards, goes hand-in-hand with the first. A lot was made of Cousins’ primetime struggles early in his career, but that’s a thing of the past. The veteran pivot has been rock-solid on MNF over the last half decade, including a sensational performance against the mighty 49ers defense last year.
Cousins threw for 378 yards on 77.8% passing with two TDs and one pick in a 22-17 Minnesota victory. That was his third victory in his last four MNF games, which dates all the way back to 2020.
The Falcons have a solid young receiving corps, including 2021 fourth-overall pick Kyle Pitts, who’s capable of being an elite tight end in the right situation. Side note: John Hyslop loves the over on Pitts’ alternate receiving yards (45.5) in his Falcons vs Eagles player props. There is more than enough weaponry for Cousins to hit 250-plus yards tonight, especially as Atlanta is likely going to be playing catch-up against an Eagle offense that was positively dynamic in Week 1.
Falcons vs Eagles SGP Pick #3: Bijan Robinson Over 30.5 Receiving Yards
The final leg of today’s Falcons vs Eagles same-game parlay is Atlanta running back Bijan Robinson to go over 30.5 receiving yards. The sure-handed Robinson was an integral part of the passing game in Week 1 with five catches on five targets for 43 yards, and that continues a trend from his first season in the league, when he racked up 487 yards through the air, fourth-most among all running backs in the league.

The Eagle defense gave up four catches to Green Bay running backs on six targets last week. They allowed an average of 32.1 receiving yards to running backs last year, and Bijan is way above average as a pass-catcher.

The Atlanta Falcons will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles in a highly anticipated Monday Night Football matchup in Week 2 of the NFL season. For fans looking to add some excitement to the game, creating a same-game parlay can be a fun way to potentially win big.
A same-game parlay allows bettors to combine multiple bets within the same game into one wager, increasing the odds and potential payout. To create a same-game parlay for the Falcons vs Eagles matchup, there are a few key factors to consider.
First, take a look at the betting options available for the game. This can include traditional bets such as point spreads, over/under totals, player props, and more. Consider which bets you feel confident in and how they can be combined to create a winning parlay.
Next, analyze the matchup between the Falcons and Eagles. Look at each team’s strengths and weaknesses, recent performance, injuries, and any other relevant factors that could impact the outcome of the game. This information will help you make informed decisions when selecting your bets for the parlay.
When creating your same-game parlay, it’s important to diversify your bets to increase your chances of winning. For example, you could combine a point spread bet with a player prop bet or an over/under total bet. This way, if one bet doesn’t hit, you still have a chance to win with the other bets in the parlay.
Lastly, consider the odds and potential payout for your same-game parlay. The more bets you include in the parlay, the higher the odds and potential payout will be. However, keep in mind that the more bets you add, the higher the risk of losing the entire parlay. It’s important to find a balance between high odds and manageable risk when creating your same-game parlay.
In conclusion, creating a same-game parlay for the Falcons vs Eagles Monday Night Football matchup in Week 2 can add an extra layer of excitement to the game. By carefully selecting your bets, analyzing the matchup, diversifying your bets, and considering the odds and potential payout, you can increase your chances of winning big with a successful parlay. Good luck and enjoy the game!
