NFL Week 5 Same Game Parlay Breakdown
Same-game parlays (SGPs) are where the fun really kicks in — stacking multiple bets from the same game onto one slip for a shot at a massive payout if your read on the game script hits.
For this week’s NFL action, we’re diving into a few juicy spots where data meets gut instinct — using the PFF Player Prop Tool to spot value plays, highlight potential mismatches, and help you find the sharpest numbers available in real-time.
Let’s jump right into our favorite SGPs for Week 5, each built around how we expect the game to unfold.
Jets Go Airborne With Justin Fields Against the Cowboys
The Jets have been living on the ground game all year, running the ball nearly 15% more often than expected based on game situations. But this week might call for something different.
Dallas has been the biggest pass funnel in the NFL, with teams gaining nearly half a point more in expected points per pass play compared to runs. They also sit top-10 in yards per carry allowed, even after facing some strong rushing squads.
This all points toward the Jets dialing up the passing attack — and that’s where Justin Fields can shine. Dallas allows one of the league’s highest deep-pass rates and keeps surrendering big plays through the air.
Fields has quietly been one of the league’s best deep throwers this season, ranking near the top in both PFF deep passing grades and EPA metrics. If the Jets open up the playbook, Fields could rack up yards fast. More deep shots mean more attempts, more yards, and a better chance at a breakout stat line — especially if New York controls the game.
SGP Build (70-1 on DraftKings):
Justin Fields: 280+ passing yards
Justin Fields: 32+ pass attempts
New York Jets: -3.5
C.J. Stroud and Christian Kirk vs. a Battered Ravens Secondary
If you want to understand this matchup, just check the Ravens’ injury list. Baltimore’s secondary has been absolutely gutted — and that’s music to the ears of Houston’s passing game.
The Ravens run man coverage at one of the highest rates in the league, which puts a spotlight on individual matchups. Nico Collins has a solid test against Nate Wiggins, who’s legit, but Christian Kirk’s draw is even tastier — he’s up against undrafted rookie Keyon Martin in the slot.
Kirk eats against man coverage. He’s already seeing a massive 46% target share versus man looks this season and had one of the league’s best separation rates in 2023. When Kirk gets loose on deep routes, it usually means C.J. Stroud is cooking too — and the whole Texans offense can catch fire.
SGP Build (48-1 on DraftKings):
C.J. Stroud: 300+ passing yards
Christian Kirk: 80+ receiving yards
Houston Texans: -1.5
Tee Higgins & Jake Browning Torch Detroit’s Man Coverage
This one’s all about attacking Detroit’s defensive scheme. The Lions play heavy man coverage and single-high looks — exactly the type of setup where Tee Higgins has been lethal.
Higgins commands a 28% target share and sits among the league leaders in yards per route run and PFF grade versus single-high coverage. Detroit’s corners have been shaky in one-on-one situations, and that spells trouble against a receiver who thrives in isolation.
With Jake Browning under center and the Lions daring the Bengals to throw, Higgins is in a perfect spot to deliver a big day through the air — maybe even find the end zone while he’s at it.
SGP Build (30-1 on DraftKings):
Tee Higgins: 100+ receiving yards
Jake Browning: 290+ passing yards
Tee Higgins: Anytime touchdown
Players to Watch This Week
Justin Fields (Jets): Big-play upside through the air against a pass-funnel defense.
Christian Kirk (Texans): Slot weapon with elite separation against man coverage.
Tee Higgins (Bengals): Primed to dominate single-high and man coverage looks.
Betting Tips
Always line shop — odds can shift fast, especially for player props.
Look for correlation: If you think Fields will throw deep a lot, pair passing yards and attempts in your SGP.
Don’t force long-shot combos. Target game scripts that make logical sense.

Whether it’s Fields lighting up Dallas, Stroud and Kirk shredding Baltimore, or Higgins roasting Detroit’s secondary, these same-game parlays offer real value if the matchups play out as the data suggests.
Stack smart, trust the numbers — and maybe get a little lucky along the way.
