slim chances but still chances

You are correct - I missed that one. Eagles don't HAVE to beat the Redskins in Week 16.

We only need to hit a 10 team parlay instead of 11.

Wonder what odds Vegas would give us on that???

Actually it's a 9 game parlay with a pick'em double.

Interestingly, one time when I was out in Nevada (late November 1991), I did a 14 game parley (only 28 teams and no bye week back then), with the point spread. Something like $5 to pay off $14K. I was 12 for 12 for the Sunday day games.

But then of course, I took the Saints in the Sunday night game and lost (to the Falcons), and ending up losing the Monday night game as well.

Big shame that.
Is that what they mean by "stays in Vegas"?
You could have single game hedged the late Sunday game. All that does is gets your original and Sunday night stake back and feels like "a penny discout on a Rolls-Royce purchase"

Over here in the UK, I did a 14 game straight parlay, all games going off at the same time. I also did 2 x 7, splitting the 14. The bookie laughed very much when only 1 game went down and all I could collect was on 1 x 7. Sheesh!
