Best Same Game Parlay
Colorado -3.0 & Over 3.5
- Why?
- Colorado’s adjusted win probability (60.06%) is slightly undervalued by the market (61.11%).
- Over 3.5 goals is a steal given Colorado’s porous defense (3-0 loss to LAFC) and Vancouver’s attacking threat.
- Combined EV is +39.1% (13.88% actual vs. 9.97% implied).

Expected Outcome:
- Colorado wins 3-1 (covers -3.5) and Over 3.5 goals.

Final Verdict
Bet: Colorado -3.0 & Over 3.5
Odds: +1003 (10.03 decimal)
Rationale: The math checks out. Colorado’s defense is toast, Vancouver’s attack is hungry, and the Over is a no-brainer. If you’re not betting on this parlay, you’re not paying attention to the Rapids’ leaky backline.

Caution: If Vancouver’s key attackers are injured (not disclosed), this call could sour. But with the data we have? Go for it. 🚀
