Happy Holidays to our amazing readers! We hope the season has brought you peace, joy, and good fortune. And we’re looking forward to getting you a Christmas bonus tonight, via a Same Game Parlay on PointsBet! Our final Thursday Night Football game of the season brings us a battle of playoff contenders, with the AFC South-leading Tennessee Titans (9-5) hosting the Wild Card-positioned San Francisco 49ers (8-6). It should be a great game, and it’s a fantastic opportunity for a pre-holiday SGP.

For anyone not familiar, Same Game Parlays are basically parlays consisting of multiple correlated wagers from one specific game. They provide bettors with a plethora of options to bet a game—and piece together props into a parlay within that game—beyond just the standard spread, moneyline, and over/under totals.

SGPs have become one of the most popular ways to bet on professional sports, and we’ve been assembling parlay bets this way on PointsBet all season. Our last Thursday Night SGP column last week, for the Chiefs-Chargers primetime divisional clash, hit it big! Check out this seven-leg beauty that would have cashed you $700 on a $50 bet.

I’m feeling really good about tonight’s seven-leg SGP, too. Let’s do this!

49ers vs. Titans Same Game Parlay

Parlay Odds: +425

Pick Your Own Line – San Francisco 49ers +6.5 (-375)

We always like to buy some points on primetime spreads, which we can easily do with PointsBet SGPs. Why gamble on the 49ers -3 at -110, when you can take them +6.5 at -375? Now, instead of needing the road favorites to win by a field goal, we just need them to either win, or lose by a touchdown or less. I like San Fran’s chances—Jimmy G and his boys have won five of their last six games, scoring 175 total points in that span (29.1 points per game). The Titans may lead their division now, but they have been trending down since reigning two-time rushing champion Derrick Henry got hurt. I don’t think Tennessee has a strong enough defense—or potent enough offense—to overcome the Niners’ high-flying offense. Garoppolo has enjoyed a very efficient stretch since stud tight end George Kittle returned from injury. San Fran always seems to dominate the run game and short-to-intermediate passing game, and then explode with a Deebo Samuel YAC-bomb. So, I like the hotter Niners squad to prevail, but I love them at +6.5. Be safe and take the easy green.

Alternate Totals – Over 36.5 (-375)

Just like with spreads, I always take a lower number for OVERs and a higher number for UNDERs when crafting SGPs. These squads both average over 24 points per game this season, while allowing over 22 points per game. Tennessee has faltered a bit offensively over the past few weeks, but there’s plenty of reason to believe this one will finish around 40 points or higher. The winner of Titans’ games this season has averaged 28.7 points. Don’t predict tonight’s total using the final scores of Tennessee’s last two games—Jacksonville and Pittsburgh have offenses that make San Francisco look like the Greatest Show on Turf. The Niners might put up 30 themselves.

Total 1st Quarter – Over 6.5 Points (-250)

On to the next one, on to the next one… this one is also easy peasy in my eyes. Both these squads need Ws to retain their playoff positioning, and should come out running-and-gunning. I don’t expect a chess match of a game—I expect a shootout. A touchdown has been scored in the first quarter of the last three Titans games, and San Francisco has scored over 29 points over its last six games. I’m all over this one—let’s root for some points!

Garoppolo 200+ Passing Yards (-425) and OVER 1.5 Passing TDs (-131)

Sorry, Titans fans, I promise I’m not trying to load up on you guys. Tennessee is just not a great squad without Derrick Henry and stud second-year wideout A.J. Brown, and with a banged-up offensive line. I think the Niners will dominate time of possession, move the chains freely, and get in the end zone plenty. But with three of San Fran’s top four opening-day backs hurt, I expect the majority of the damage to be done through the air. Jeff Wilson Jr. is a shell of his former self, and he’s nowhere near the red-zone weapon that George Kittle, Deebo Samuel, and Brandon Aiyuk are at this point in his career. Jimmy G has thrown for 200 yards in eight total games this season, including each of the last four. He’s also tossed multiple touchdowns in six games, including two of the last three. These two props add a ton of value, without adding much risk.

Kittle 50+ Receiving Yards (-400) and Score a TD (+110)

We finish off our fantastic SGP with a double-shot of George Kittle, and I think both these props are great bets to come to fruition. The stud tight end just got named to the Pro Bowl, aided in large part to his 425 receiving yards and three touchdowns over the past three weeks. Kittle has finished with 50 yards in seven of his 11 games this season, and he’s scored a touchdown in five total games. He also has eight career TDs across 13 primetime games, and always gets up in big late-season contests. If you want less of a gamble, go with just the receiving prop. But if you like to live dangerously like Austin Powers—and get paid out more handsomely—tackle both these props and cross your fingers for the huge win!
