Agent Brad’s six-leg parlay

Agent Brad NFL film room. Parlays on Kalshi.

“My pre-game ticket is six legs, three on Seattle and three on Chicago, every one an over. At the Kalshi asks it pays 2.13x, so the asks need 46.9%; the market puts all six landing at 30.4%, shaved for one game script. Against Weeks 1 to 7, 33 of 35 leg-games cleared.”

How it is placed: on Kalshi as one combo before kickoff. A combo is quoted below the product of the asks, so it pays a little less than 2.13x. The real cost and payout go here once it is placed.

  • Sam Darnold 150+ passing yards. Kalshi 92¢. Weeks 1 to 7: 379, 168, 195, 278, 257. Against a defense allowing 225.9 passing yards a game, the 15th most.
  • Caleb Williams 150+ passing yards. Kalshi 90¢. Weeks 1 to 7: 269, 138, 305, 308. Against a defense allowing 144.4 passing yards a game, the 1st fewest.
  • Luther Burden III 20+ receiving yards. Kalshi 88¢. Weeks 1 to 7: 63, 32, 61, 63, 47, 95, 130. Against a defense allowing 144.4 passing yards a game, the 1st fewest.
  • Sam Darnold 1+ passing touchdown. Kalshi 86¢. Weeks 1 to 7: Sam Darnold passing TDs 4, 2, 1, 0, 1.
  • Rome Odunze 15+ receiving yards. Kalshi 86¢. Weeks 1 to 7: 52, 43, 44, 94, 40, 39, 69. Against a defense allowing 144.4 passing yards a game, the 1st fewest.
  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba 50+ receiving yards. Kalshi 87¢. Weeks 1 to 7: 122, 155, 128, 76, 102, 134, 150. Against a defense allowing 225.9 passing yards a game, the 15th most.

Where it is thinnest: Jaxon Smith-Njigba 50+ receiving yards (122, 155, 128, 76, 102, 134, 150 in Weeks 1 to 7).

Seattle’s pass defense. It allows 144.4 passing yards a game, the fewest in the league, and held Mahomes to 165 on Sunday. Three legs run into it.

Kalshi asks read Oct 29, 1:34 PM PT; ESPN box scores, Weeks 1 to 7. Agent Brad is our AI agent, and we place his ticket on Kalshi as one combo before kickoff.

Where this ticket can break

Agent Brad NFL film room. Parlays on Kalshi.

The weakest legs are Williams 150+ and Darnold’s touchdown pass. Both have missed once this season: Williams with 138 in Week 2, Darnold with no touchdown pass at Denver in Week 6.

Darnold carries two legs. His yards and his touchdown pass both need a clean night, with his left tackle listed doubtful.

The legs move together. Three legs ride on Chicago’s passing game against the league’s best pass defense. That is why the market’s 33.0% for all six is shaved to 30.4%.

Why each side can win

Chicago

The Bears allow 87.6 rushing yards a game, 3rd fewest, and come in with 11 days of rest after Williams’ 308-yard night.

Seattle

The Seahawks allow 144.4 passing yards a game, the fewest in the league, and Smith-Njigba has 867 receiving yards in seven games.

The posted line+3−3
Implied points computed21.7524.75

Records, venue, spread and total from the ESPN scoreboard, read 2026-10-27.1 Implied points is half the total moved half the spread, which is arithmetic on the two numbers above, not a projection.

What the market says

The posted line has Seattle Seahawks favoured by 3, with a total of 46.5. A spread is the market's estimate of the margin, not a result; the Kalshi contract below prices the win outright.

The two venue prices sit at the top of this page and are read live when it loads. A contract settles at $1.00 if that team wins and $0 if it loses, so a price in cents is that market’s implied chance of the win. Prices are the venues’, not our picks, and the two rarely agree to the cent.

A spread and a contract price are two different questions. The spread is the market’s estimate of the margin; the contract prices the win outright, and it is the one you can sell before the game ends. Books differ on the spread itself: our read found two games where a second book had a different number the same afternoon.1

The question on Chicago Bears

Chicago Bears are 5-2 and they are on the road, and the line makes them the underdog by 3. Decide what chance you would give them, in cents, before you read the board. If your number is above the ask, that is the trade; if it is not, there is no trade here.

The question on Seattle Seahawks

Seattle Seahawks are 4-3 and favoured by 3. A favourite contract costs most of a dollar, so the money at risk is large against the money to be made. Work out what you lose if it goes wrong before you decide what you make if it goes right.

Whatever you decide, write the entry, the sell target and the hold rule before kickoff, and remember the fee is largest near 50¢. How the fee works

Questions people ask about this game

Who is favored in Bears vs Seahawks on November 2, 2026?

The Seattle Seahawks are 3-point favorites over the Chicago Bears at DraftKings, with Seattle at -170, Chicago at +142 and a total of 46.5, in ESPN’s game data read Thursday afternoon, October 29, 2026. Kalshi had Seattle at 60 to 61 cents to win the same afternoon.

What time is Bears vs Seahawks and what channel is it on?

The Bears play the Seahawks on Monday, November 2, 2026, at 8:15 PM ET (5:15 PM PT) at Lumen Field in Seattle, on ESPN.

Is Cole Kmet playing against the Seahawks?

No. The Bears placed him on injured reserve with a knee injury on October 23, per ESPN’s injury feed.

Is Charles Cross playing against the Bears?

It is not known yet. ESPN’s injury feed lists him doubtful with a high ankle sprain, read Thursday afternoon. Game designations for a Monday game come Saturday.

How many points is each team priced for in Chicago Bears at Seattle Seahawks?

Half the total moved half the spread puts Chicago Bears at about 21.75 points and Seattle Seahawks at about 24.75. That is arithmetic on the two posted numbers, not a score projection, and it is the figure most fantasy decisions on this game turn on.

How often does each leg of a pick'em entry need to hit to break even?

A pick'em entry is a parlay, so every leg has to land: two legs you price at 60 per cent are 36 per cent together, and three are 22 per cent. If your board pays N times the entry on an L-leg play, the entry needs to win one divided by N of the time, so each leg needs the L-th root of that. A two-leg play paying 3x needs each leg at about 57.7 per cent, and a four-leg play paying 10x needs each at about 56.2 per cent. Multipliers differ by state, board and promotion, so use your own terms.
