Week 12: Sunday Funday Parlay & Cool Bets

Well what a week it has been, full of highs & lows. As I got the $1,000 free bet from Barstool & DraftKings this past week from the Barstool #GOTW (which is the Eagles vs Cowboys btw this Sunday)... BUT unfortunately a win wasn't in the cards as the Bills offense laid an egg Thursday night. This though could be good for all of you who love to tail the cool bets & Funday Parlay, as now I feel it’s time to re-prove my betting expertise after the blunder.

Though I am also 7-4 in my Barstool Breakdown Pick'em mortals, so I needed to slip that in here just so we all know. Anyways, now it's time for the 3 cool bets I'm taking on Sunday.

Browns ML +160

Now I will be the first to admit I do not think Shedeur Sanders is going to be an "elite" QB. But you see, this one feels too sneaky to not bet. When you think about all the noise he has heard this week about him, and the stat about Browns QBs in their first starts being 0–17 in the last 17… Also let me just throw one last thing in: the Raiders aren’t very good & they’re on a short week after playing Monday night.

Lamar Jackson ATTD +205

Okay so yes I know since his return he hasn't been running nearly as much as we are used to seeing, but against a bad defense he may feel ready to turn it loose yet again. As their division race heats up, Jackson will begin to pry open his toolbox to make sure his team is winning every game.

Jameis Winston 230+ passing yards +103

This just has classic Jameis slinging it around trying to keep the squad in the game kinda feeling. The Lions of course are not only the more talented team, but also will be a little more desperate with the results over the past few weeks. Winston will be forced to throw it around all game to keep his team close.

Now let's go from the cool bets into the weekly Sunday Funday Parlay.

We are going to get a little wild this week. Like I said from the top, I am ready to bounce back after failing with my bonus bet. As always, I recommend betting each play straight up along with the parlay. This helps if we get 1 or 2 outta the 3.

We are gonna kick this thing off with Trevor Lawrence in the desert, back in the stadium he flung it around to win the Fiesta Bowl years ago. The magic will be back in the air as he looks to get us 210+ passing yards. The Cardinals are in score-it to win it mode, so the Jags will want to keep up with Trevor throwing it all over.

Next up I'm going with the ROOK! Shedeur Sanders for 170+ passing yards. Yes it is A LOT for a rookie, but you know the Raiders are thinking “don’t let Judkins get going,” so with that said Sanders may get 25–30 attempts. If he can complete 15–20 of them we have a real shot here. This though is the stretch play.

Lastly I am sticking with Baker Mayfield. It feels like a game in which he will be asked to throw it 35+ times. With that being said, 240+ passing yards does feel heavy, but Baker will be playing mad this week. Let's also not forget Steven Cheah always seems to win when everyone or everything is against him. Mayfield is primed to throw some darts.

Well everyone, the past is the past, now we look forward. It's time to take some chances this Sunday. We can't win 'em unless we bet 'em. What if this is just the Sunday that all the balls go through the hoop?? You never know. Either way, they have been well researched & vetted, so now let’s have a day!
