Right, and when the money lines come out this parlay is going to pay about even money. There are too many big spreads in there for this to be +eV on the line.

When the OP calls this parlay a "lock," that means he thinks all of them are probably going to happen.

In a world of chance, do you really need to nitpick on one's interpretation of a lock?
The only true locks are death and bigred making gay jokes.

If you know a way to make sure that no one gets Radashacked, I'll bet $100 against it at 4:1 (i.e you give me $100 if one of those teams doesn't win, I give you $400 if they all win). I don't want to risk more than a few hundred though because I'm not a baller like you.

No can do, I thought 4:1 was pretty fair, I'm not sure Browns, Texans, or Dolphins even have a 10% chance of winning.

BTW, what are the odds being laid on this parlay, out of curiosity?

It will be about 5.4 to 1 depending on the website you use

5.4 to 1 is more than I had figured that would pay. That being said, 3 of those 6 games are hardly "locks." The Falcons are by far the most overrated team in the NFL right now IMO. I don't think they'll lose to the Lions but I could easily see it happening. The Vikings are a very mediocre team and the 49ers have played pretty well at home. And I don't think anyone would say the Broncos are a lock to beat the Steelers.
The other three games are as close as you can get to locks in the NFL, but I don't know how many times we need to see a terrible team beat a good team before people stop saying a team has a 0% chance of winning a game.

The Dolphins beating the Bears is a result that no one saw coming, but like I said, it just goes to show that you can't make statements like "so and so has a 0% chance of winning."
Hope you didn't lose too much!

Parlays are tough. Didn't expect the Bears to lose the way they did, that was insane.
