This week, we've identified a compelling five-leg NFL parlay focused on some quarterbacks who aren't afraid to tuck the ball and run.
Week 3 of the NFL season is upon us, bringing with it a slate of exciting matchups and a golden opportunity for savvy NFL parlay bettors. While touchdown scorers and game totals often grab the headlines, the quarterback rushing markets offer some of the best value for NFL props. This week, we've identified a compelling five-leg NFL parlay focused on some young and veteran quarterbacks who aren't afraid to tuck the ball and run.
This NFL parlay has been expertly constructed using insights from the Dimers NFL player projections hub, which provides Dimers Pro subscribers with a competitive edge in their sports betting, DFS, and fantasy football pursuits.
The full list of Week 3 NFL Player Projections is only available with a Dimers Pro subscription, and right now you can get 12 months for the price of 6 - just use promo code "FOOTBALL" at checkout to unlock this offer.
NFL Parlay: Sunday September 21, 2025 (Week 3)
Combining these five players to each rush for 25+ yards at DraftKings Sportsbook yields impressive NFL odds of +1367. A simple $10 wager on this parlay could turn into a payout of $146.73 if all five legs hit.
Now, let's get into it!
Leg 1: Drake Maye 25+ Rushing Yards
Matchup: Steelers vs. Patriots
Game details:
- Date: Sep 21, 1PM (EST)
- Venue: Gillette Stadium
The young signal-caller for the Patriots has shown his ability to extend plays with his legs. Against the Steelers' defense, which can generate pressure, Maye will likely be forced to scramble out of the pocket. The Dimers Pro NFL Player Projections Hub has Maye down for 27.6 rushing yards, a strong indication that he's expected to hit this mark. With a limited supporting cast in New England, Maye's mobility is a key part of the offense, making this a solid start to our parlay.
Leg 2: Jalen Hurts 25+ Rushing Yards
Matchup: Rams vs. Eagles
Game details:
- Date: Sep 21, 1PM (EST)
- Venue: Lincoln Financial Field
This is the anchor of our parlay. Jalen Hurts is one of the league's premier dual-threat quarterbacks, and his rushing production is a constant threat. He's a consistent source of rushing yards, both on designed runs and scrambles. The model's projection of 42.7 rushing yards for Hurts is well above the 25-yard threshold, and the short odds reflect the high probability of this prop hitting. While the odds are short, including a high-probability leg like Hurts 25+ rushing yards is essential for building a high-payout parlay.

Leg 3: Bo Nix 25+ Rushing Yards
Matchup: Broncos vs. Chargers
Game details:
- Date: Sep 21, 4:05PM (EST)
- Venue: SoFi Stadium
This is the "plus-money" leg that gives our parlay a significant boost. Bo Nix has demonstrated a willingness to take off and run when plays break down. While the model's projection of 24.8 rushing yards for Nix is just shy of this 25+ line, this small difference gives us an excellent opportunity to include him at plus money odds! Facing a Chargers defense that can be exploited, Nix could easily find open lanes to scramble for a few first downs, pushing him toward that 25-yard mark and, hopefully, beyond.
Leg 4: Caleb Williams 25+ Rushing Yards
Matchup Cowboys vs. Bears
Game details:
- Date: Sep 21, 4:25PM (EST)
- Venue: Soldier Field
Another young quarterback makes our list. Caleb Williams has a dynamic play style, and the Bears' offense will undoubtedly lean on his athleticism. The matchup against the Cowboys could see him facing pressure, which often leads to improvised runs. The model's projection of 30.2 rushing yards for Williams suggests he's more than capable of surpassing the 25-yard mark, making this a great value at -135.
Leg 5: Patrick Mahomes 25+ Rushing Yards
Matchup: Chiefs vs. Giants
Game details:
- Date: Sep 21, 8:20PM (EST)
- Venue: MetLife Stadium
Patrick Mahomes is known for both his rocket arm and elite scrambling ability, making him one of the premier QB's in the NFL. He's an expert at extending plays and picking up crucial yards with his legs, especially when facing a tough pass rush. The Giants' defense will be a test, but Mahomes' elusiveness and smart play are expected to be on full display once again. With a model projection of 31.8 rushing yards, Mahomes is a strong play to complete our five-leg parlay.
