SportsLine promotes five-leg NFL Week 1 parlay with nearly 25-1 potential payout
SportsLine says its model simulated every 2026 Week 1 game 10,000 times, but four selections remain undisclosed and its methodology cannot be independently assessed from the supplied material.
SportsLine has identified a five-leg parlay for the opening week of the 2026 NFL season, with a potential payout of nearly 25-1, according to CBS Sports.
The only disclosed selection is over 48.5 total points in the Dallas Cowboys’ game against the New York Giants. SportsLine says its model gives the total nearly a 70 per cent chance of being reached.
The model reportedly simulated every Week 1 game 10,000 times. CBS Sports also cited recent scoring trends between Dallas and New York, along with offensive statistics from the two teams, in support of the selection.
Four other legs of the parlay are withheld behind SportsLine’s subscription or promotional page. The article says one of those selections backs an underdog that surpassed a 60 per cent simulation rate, without identifying the team or matchup.
Dallas was listed as a 2.5-point favourite against New York in early Week 1 betting lines. The season is scheduled to begin on 9 September, when defending champion Seattle meets New England, followed the next day by San Francisco’s game against the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne.
The nearly 25-1 figure is a potential payout dependent on bookmaker odds, not a guaranteed return. SportsLine’s claims about the model’s profitability and its reported 53-37 record are not independently verified in the supplied material.
