Colts vs. 49ers Same Game Parlay Picks & Player Props
It’s time for another exciting installment of our Sunday Night Football Same Game Parlay column, and this week we have a good one between the Colts and 49ers. After a rough start, Carson Wentz has finally started cooking with gas for the Colts, just in time to face the Niners in Jimmy Garoppolo return to action. Truthfully, we have no idea how this game will shake out on a win-loss scale, but we do have a plethora of educated guesses to roll into a Same Game Parlay on PointsBet. Less risk, more potential reward, and more fun for everyone!
A Same Game Parlay basically just means a parlay consisting of multiple correlated wagers from one specific game. It provides bettors with good 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.
Colts vs. 49ers Same Game Parlay
- Indianapolis Colts Total – Over 20
- Total – Over 42
- Away Team Total Points Bands – Indianapolis Colts 21-30 Points
- Quarterback Passing Yards – Carson Wentz Over 197.5
- Running Back To Get – Jonathan Taylor To Get 50+ Rushing Yards
Total Odds: +541
Total – OVER 41.5 (-110)
The OVER in primetime games is usually the way to go, and I’ll be smashing this low OVER in as many parlays as I can get my hands on. Carson Wentz and the Indy passing attack has improved mightily over the course of the last three weeks, putting up 27.6 points per game while going 2-1. Meanwhile, 49ers games have averaged 47.2 total points in that span. With Wentz playing more confidently, and Jimmy Garoppolo back in action for San Fran, I’m quite confident in the OVER. All we need is a 23-20 win by either side? Sign me up.
Indianapolis Colts Total – Over 20 (-105)
We’ve already established that I’m all-in on the OVER, and I’m also quite confident the Colts can at least keep this one close. Therefore, Indy’s OVER of 20 points feels like a no-brainer. The Colts have fared well against tough opponents so far this year, covering in a 27-24 loss to the Rams in Week 2 and almost upsetting the Ravens in a Monday Night Football battle that finished 31-25 in overtime. Wentz will be without T.Y. Hilton again this week due to a lingering neck injury, but I still like Indy’s chances at putting up at least 21 points. Second-year running back Jonathan Taylor has been an absolute beast this season—averaging 5.4 yards per carry and 14 yards per reception—and he has scored five touchdowns in six games. Six different Colts have broken the plane this season, and second-year wideout Michael Pittman’s breakout game is coming. We are all over the OVERs—who’s coming with us!?
Team Total Points Bands – Indianapolis Colts 21-30 Points (+180)
I love beefing up my parlays with value, even if it means increasing my risk. The higher reward just feels worth it! Since I’ve already established that I project this game to end at or around 23-20, I’m tripling down by taking the Colts OVER 20 and the Colts’ points band of 21-30. Indy has fallen into that range three different times already, and exceeded the range by a point last time out against the lowly Texans. On the season, the Colts average 23.1 points per game, so this feels a lot safer than the +180 makes it look. The Seahawks and Packers have each scored 28-30 points against San Fran in the last few weeks.
‘Quarterback Passing Yards – Carson Wentz Over 197.5 (-115)
Wentz had a somewhat rough start to the season, averaging a QB rating of 85.03 through Indy’s first three games, presumably due to injuries to his offensive line and wide receiver corps. Those three games, not surprisingly, were all losses. Since Week 4, the Colts have righted the ship a bit, going 2-1 behind an average Wentz QB rating of 123.7. The passing yardage hasn’t exactly been off the charts—284.3 yards per game over the last three—but it sure beats the 230.6 air yards per game Indy averaged through Week 3. Two of San Francisco’s last three opponents—the Arizona Cardinals and the Green Bay Packers—have reached at least 239 passing yards. Throughout his career, Wentz has averaged 247.4 passing yards per game. I like our chances with this prop, especially with decent value at -115.
Running Back To Get – Jonathan Taylor To Get 50+ Rushing Yards (-250)
As I mentioned earlier, Taylor has been an absolute beast this season. The second-year back has averaged 78.7 rushing yards per game on the young season, and Indy’s offensive line gets more healthy each week. San Fran has allowed rushing yard totals of just 94 and 105 the past couple weeks—which seems low, we will admit—but consider the fact that JT pretty much has a monopoly on the running volume share in Indy. He’s also the most talented back the Niners have faced since the Packers Aaron Jones, who logged 82 rushing yards and a score in San Fran back on September 26. This is the biggest layup of the parlay, a cherry on top of a very doable Sunday Night Sundae.
