Week 9 of the NFL season kicks off with a Thursday Night Football matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans.

And for bettors looking to cash in on the action, this Steelers-Titans game is a great chance to look at a few same-game parlays. Here are some that we think are worth taking a look at.

Steelers vs. Titans SGP picks: Combine Titans team over, Derrick Henry rushing yards and George Pickens receptions

If you’re searching for a same-game parlay with odds a bit on the safer side, this one might be for you. This three-leg parlay comes in with +212 odds.

  • Tennessee Titans team total Over 17.5 points
  • Derrick Henry 60+ rushing yards
  • George Pickens 3+ receptions

Tennessee’s offense hasn’t been great this season, but last week might have been a glimpse at what’s to come. With starter Ryan Tannehill still out, the Titans turned to rookie quarterback Will Levis, who looked fantastic in his first NFL start.

Tennessee’s 28 points last week was a season-high (against a solid Atlanta defense, too), with all scores coming from Levis’ arm. Pittsburgh’s defense allowed more than 17 points on five occasions this season and we think it’ll happen again Thursday.

With Levis’ strong showing through the air, the Titans could very well alleviate pressure on the ground, meaning running back Derrick Henry could have yet another big game.

Henry averages 75.1 yards per game, surpassing the 60-yard mark on five occasions. Pittsburgh allowed running backs to total more than 60 yards on six occasions this season.

Finally, Steelers wide receiver George Pickens must catch at least three passes. He’s done so in all but one game this year – last week.

He’s seen at least five targets in every game. With teammate Dionte Johnson back from injury, Pickens won’t face as many double coverage situations. We expect him to continue his steady workload.

Thursday Night Football same-game parlay bets: A riskier Steelers vs. Titans same-game parlay

If +212 isn’t enough, here’s a +1196 same-game parlay worth keeping in mind if you’re looking for a larger return on your wager:

  • U36.5 points
  • DeAndre Hopkins anytime TD scorer
  • Dionte Johnson 5+ receptions

Offense has been hard to come by for both teams. For the Steelers, the Under hit in their last four games, while the Under hit in four of the Titans’ last five games, too.

Both defenses are solid, ranking around the middle in terms of points allowed per game.

Tennessee wideout DeAndre Hopkins to score at least one touchdown, which oddsmakers think is the riskiest leg of the parlay -- but last week’s showing was promising.

Hopkins hadn’t scored yet before Levis took over as the starting quarterback. The result? Three touchdowns. He is dealing with a toe injury, which is something to keep in mind.

For this parlay to hit, Pittsburgh wideout Dionte Johnson must catch at least five passes. That’s not an easy feat, but he’s been a target machine when healthy.

Last week he caught eight passes on 14 targets. He’s quarterback Kenny Pickett’s safe option in the short passing game and a reliable target.
