Strategy For NFL SGP Picks

Regarding SGPs, we cannot emphasize enough the importance of shopping around. Our research for this season’s strategy sometimes found the same SGP at double the price vs. other betting apps.

SGP machines offer lower payouts than the fair odds on correlated same-game parlays.

One example of an uncorrelated SGP that apps may have trouble pricing is a running back with high red zone usage for potential touchdowns but low rushing volume overall for high-end yardage totals.

Smarter NFL SGP PICKS: Vikings AT rams Thursday Night Football

I will be referencing FanDuel Sportsbook odds, but as mentioned above, it’s a strong practice to shop for the best odds. If you only have one or two sportsbooks, now is the time to open more and lock in additional NFL promo codes.

Same Game Parlay: +1221 Odds

The Vikings have one of the best players in the NFL, wide receiver Justin Jefferson. Therefore, he’s among the best players to target in one of these uncorrelated parlays. The Vikings star is usually a lock for performance, but he’s been able to hit this or come close a lot this year.

Justin Jefferson Anytime Touchdown

Jefferson has five touchdowns in six games this season and chemistry with Sam Darnold. He has every chance to get into the end zone, whether on a big play, a slant route in the red zone, or even misdirection.

Justin Jefferson 80+ Receiving Yards

Jefferson has hit this total for five straight weeks. The Rams’ defense is No. 26 in defensive EPA against dropbacks, meaning they can get carved up through the air. This matchup seems built for Jefferson to get over this number, especially since the Vikings are only field-goal favorites to win.

If this game stays close, there’s every chance Jefferson can hit a deep shot and go over this number.

Justin Jefferson Under 5.5 Receptions

This is the hardest leg of the bet to come through, but it’s plausible. Jefferson averages right on 5.5 receptions this season, and against the Niners, where he caught a deep touchdown pass, he went under this reception total as he cruised over his yardage. If he gets a deep ball again, then there’s every chance for this to hit.

For a bet that is +1221, the fact that it has hit once already this season is a good sign that it is at least viable. At this price, this smart SGP could come through and pay out well for only a fractional outlay.
