It did not take a rocket scientist long to see the firepower both these Super Bowl teams had under their belt even early in the season. The Chiefs’ and Buccaneers’ offenses combined for 56 touchdowns through the first nine weeks of the season (18 games).
But what have they done for you lately? How about even better.
Since Week 10, KC has posted 28 offensive six-pointers in nine games and the Tom Bradys have answered with the Big Four-Oh . . . That’s 40 offensive TDs in their last 10 games. (For the record, that run followed a 38-3, no-TD drubbing at the hands of the Saints in Week 9. Now that is what I call bouncing back with a vengeance.)
So, with all those fireworks just waiting to go off for both Bruce Arians and Andy Reid, we thought we’d put the FanDuel same-game parlays to good use and team up position players on each team to strike paydirt and perhaps nail a semi-big payday along the way.
(Full disclosure: The long-time Chiefs fan in me has gotten to the point of understanding that opposing TDs are going to happen no matter what, so I might as well get some good use out of them and let Patrick Mahomes and friends just out-gun them. It’s worked out pretty good, so far, I’d say.)
Now, FanDuel TD odds are fluent . . . The are changing constantly (sometimes in the middle of the night) depending on what the FD market is bearing. For our purposes, these numbers were as the site stood at about mid-afternoon Thursday.
A couple of caveats:
> We are grouping Chiefs full back Anthony Sherman in a parlay with each teams’ quarterback (since Tampa Bay has no one at that position) as well as in a special cross-over parlay with former Reid player Shady McCoy − for sentimental rea$on$.
> All bets we have here are $1, so the payouts listed are the actual Parlay Odds (+1536 for Mahomes/Brady, for instance).
> The number in parentheses with each player is his total number of offensive TDs this season, including postseason.
> Some of these players may not take a snap, therefore money on those parlays should be refunded.
There is a lot going on here (34 separate bets), so don’t feel you have to jump in on all of them (as we will). You can just pick and choose and go with your favorites or pick out of a hat. Or you skip it all together and go waste your money on frivolous stuff like rent and food.
But just remember . . . these teams have combined for 68 offensive touchdowns scored since Nov. 15. And they are not going to stop now!
