NFL Parlay Leg #1: Pittsburgh Steelers and Carolina Panthers Under 37.5 Points (-108)
Pittsburgh Steelers have been among the worst offenses in the NFL, as they rank 27th in scoring, averaging just 17.5 points per game. Their defense, however, has been an above-average unit, allowing 22.5 points per game, which ranks 14th in the league.
Carolina Panthers have had a similar story, as they rank just 24th in points per game, averaging 20.0 points per game. Their defense has been slightly better than the Steelers, ranking 13th, allowing 22.3 points per game.
This matchup between two struggling offenses and two above-average defenses is unlikely to produce a lot of scoring. Look for the two teams to combine to score less than 38 points.
NFL Parlay Leg #2: Carolina Panthers -3 (-103)
Carolina Panthers have played much better under interim head coach Steve Wilks. The Panthers have won three of their past four games, including their two most recent contests. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh Steelers are set to start Mitchell Trubisky as rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett is sidelined with a concussion. Pittsburgh are just 1-3 when Trubisky starts this season. Look for Carolina to continue their strong play as they are tipped to win by at least four points.
NFL Parlay Leg #3: Najee Harris Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+145)
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris has found the end zone seven times this season, however, four of those touchdowns have come over his past four games. While the Carolina Panthers defense has been strong, they have given up 13 touchdowns to opposing running backs this season, which is the 10th-most in the NFL this season. Look for Harris to continue his impressive run by finding the end zone at least once.
