Uncalibrated estimates from the cited research. No verified combined probability, sportsbook price or expected profit is available.
Why these belong together.
Chicago is the thinner winner lean alongside Los Angeles and Philadelphia. Treat that weaker leg as a reason to simplify the ticket, not hide it.
These legs span separate games, but multiplying uncalibrated estimates still does not produce a validated parlay forecast.
CHI: reasoning and risks
Chicago produced 6,282 offensive yards in 2025 against Carolina's 5,025 and retains Williams, Swift, Burden and Loveland. Carolina can keep this tight: its current defense includes Brown, Phillips, Lloyd and Okereke, and Chicago allowed 5.8 yards per play last year. I favor the Bears' capacity to create enough sustained offense, not a repeat of their exceptional 2025 turnover margin.
- Odunze's calf issue could constrain Chicago's spacing or worsen before kickoff.
- Carolina's rebuilt defense is not the same unit reflected by 2025 averages.
- Chicago's 2025 plus-22 turnover margin is unlikely to be a dependable game-level advantage.
- Young-to-McMillan/Coker production, home field and hot conditions can erase the small edge.

LAC: reasoning and risks
My 27-20 forecast favors Herbert's established passing core at home against an Arizona defense that conceded substantially more yardage and offensive touchdowns in 2025. McDaniel adds upside, but I do not assume the new system is already elite. Brissett remains capable of sustaining Arizona's passing volume.
- Biadasz is on IR and a new center starts; protection and timing may suffer.
- Tuipulotu is limited and Arizona can attack a changing Chargers defense.
- Both teams have new coordinators or offensive systems; last year's team statistics are only a starting point.
- Final injury designations and game-day actives are not yet available.

PHI: reasoning and risks
Philadelphia's returning offensive line and home field provide the cleaner starting point. Washington's 2025 defense allowed 4.8 yards per rush, and the current loss of Tunsil and Amos complicates both protection and coverage. My 27-20 scenario favors sustained Eagles drives, while allowing Daniels-led Washington enough offense to stay competitive.
- Mannion is calling his first regular-season NFL game; the revamped receiver allocation has not been demonstrated.
- Washington's new defensive personnel and a healthy Daniels could outperform 2025 baselines.
- Oweh, Chaisson and Greenard may have different availability or workloads by Sunday.
- Kickoff inactives and stadium wind remain unverified.

How to build this ticket.
- Open each game report. Recheck current injuries, active players and whether the forecast changed. If a leg is outdated, skip it.
- Find the exact moneyline, anytime-touchdown or alternate-yardage selection shown above. A 60+ yard event is not the same as over 60.5. If the matching market is unavailable, skip the pack.
- Add the exact selections to your sportsbook’s parlay slip. Check the final combined odds and that every selection is accepted. We have not verified a playable price.
- Use a fixed amount you can afford to lose. Choose a pack instead of automatically betting all ten: several packs repeat players and games. Singles remain an option.
- Confirm kickoff times and your operator’s rules for inactive players, void legs and settlement. All non-void legs normally need to win. Do not increase stakes to recover losses.
DraftKings sportsbook help. Availability and settlement depend on your operator.
