Giants vs. Chiefs Same Game Parlay Picks for Monday Night Football
It’s been a dizzying weekend of NFL action, with just four teams on bye after the Byepocalypse that was Week 7. Just one game remains this week: an Arrowhead tilt between the reigning AFC-champion Kansas City Chiefs and the New York Giants. Kansas City will be looking to right the ship after a frustrating first half of the season, while the Giants are just looking to stay healthy and consistent. Meanwhile, I’m looking through PointsBet to assemble my latest primetime Same Game Parlay.
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.
Here’s an example of my Same Game Parlay recommendation for Sunday Night Football a few weekends ago (between Green Bay and San Francisco):
- Green Bay Packers Total: OVER 21.5 (-140)
- ANYTIME TOUCHDOWN SCORER: Aaron Jones (-110)
- ANYTIME SCORER: Davante Adams (+100)
- George Kittle to Get 75+ Receiving Yards (-230)
Total Odds: +834 | Bet: $100 | Total Payout: $934
If you played this custom-made parlay, you would have woken up $834 richer the next morning. Same Game Parlay is a quick, easy, and extremely fun way of betting one specific game—and building a big potential payout—without being confined to the typical lines and spreads.
Let’s dive into our favorite Same Game Parlay bets for this exciting Monday Night Football showdown, and let’s make some more money!’

Pick Your Own Spread: Chiefs -6.5 (-190)
I fully expect the Chiefs to see some positive regression tonight, as they are much better than their 3-4 record suggests. Kansas City got blown out by the Titans 27-3 last weekend, and has also been rocked by Buffalo this season. With the Packers, Raiders, and Cowboys looming over the Chiefs’ next few scheduled weeks, there is very little room for error against below-average opponents like the Giants.
That said, the G-men have battled in every game this season, and two of their five losses were by three points or fewer. Would anybody be surprised if New York at least covered against a reeling Kansas City squad on Monday Night Football? I call MNF games the Upside Down from Stranger Things—things tend to happen that really shouldn’t. Maybe KC covers the -10.5, or maybe the Chiefs only win by a TD and PAT. PointsBet’s SGPs allow us to pick the favorite at any spread we prefer (at varying odds, obviously). At least we have some extra padding going in, while the main spread bettors are running the risk of falling flat on their faces.
Half Time/Full Time: Chiefs (-230)
While I expect the Giants to cover the +10.5, I think the Chiefs will still have almost total control of the game start to finish. Three-time Pro Bowler and 2018 MVP Patrick Mahomes might be having his worst season, but he’s still one of the best in the business. It’s very rare for Mahomes to lose to a non-playoff team, especially with an extra day of preparation. Expect big games from wideout Tyreek Hill and tight end Travis Kelce, regular assassins in nationally-televised games. New York has a decent defense for a below-average team, but it doesn’t have nearly enough weapons to upset a motivated Chiefs team. The Giants rank 24th in scoring defense and 23rd in total yards allowed. KC should be leading at both halftime and the end of the game.
‘Rushing Props: Darrel Williams 50+ Rushing Yards (-180)
When second-year stud Clyde Edwards-Helaire got IR’ed with an MCL sprain, Williams got bumped to the top of Kansas City’s running back depth chart. However, game script and poor offensive rhythm have limited Williams’ production. Over the Chiefs’ last four games—two wins, two losses—the fourth-year back has 31 carries for 104 rushing yards and two touchdowns in the wins, and 10 carries for 47 rushing yards and no touchdowns in the losses. Well, this one should be a win for Kansas City, and the Giants rank 25th in the NFL in ground yards surrendered (879 yards in seven games). I would have been tempted to bet this prop even if Edwards-Helaire returned this week. It’s a lock if Williams remains the temporary bell-cow.
First Half Points Bands: 21-30 Total Points (+180)
The over/under in primetime games always feels like a trap, but PointsBet allows Same Game Parlay bettors to pick between a buffet of points options. For this parlay, I’m selecting a points band for the first half, essentially stipulating that the total score at halftime equals something in the range of 21-30 points. That feels like a great range, as it gets us the green if four or fewer touchdowns are scored with no field goals, or three touchdowns and up to three field goals are scored.
In Kansas City’s last two games, the halftime totals were 27 and 23. The Chiefs allow 14.5 points per half, while the Giants allow 12.8 points per half. Every stat and data trend points to this range being the most probably total halftime scoring range. So, let’s lock it in, and let the parlay Gods take the wheel.
