Eyes are always on the quarterbacks in the NFL, as having a star signal-caller goes a long way in a team’s success given their crucial role in operating the offense and serving as the face of the franchise. They also have arguably the biggest impact on a game, so it’s important to have the right guy under center. Three of the best quarterbacks in the NFL are reigning MVP Josh Allen, 2023 MVP Lamar Jackson and 2024 passing touchdowns leader Joe Burrow. Those three are superstars, and they’re all in action on Sunday in Week 2 of the NFL season. Allen and the Bills face the Jets, Jackson and the Ravens battle the Browns and Burrow’s Bengals host the Jaguars. We’ve put together a three-leg parlay involving these quarterbacks for Week 2 at Caesars Sportsbook.

Josh Allen Over 1.5 passing touchdowns vs. Jets
Allen threw for two scores in Week 1 against the Ravens, leading a furious comeback where the Bills erased a 15-point deficit to win 41-40. Now he takes on a division rival when Buffalo travels East to face the New York Jets. The Jets looked competent in Week 1 but still served up four passing touchdowns to Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Allen has thrown 16 touchdowns in 13 games against New York, and the SportsLine Inside the Lines team model has him at 1.8 passing touchdowns for Sunday’s game.
Lamar Jackson Under 17.5 pass completions vs. Browns
The Browns have been talking a big game ahead of this contest, and the Ravens have taken some notes. That being said, Baltimore might not be throwing the ball a lot in this one. Jackson only completed 14 passes in Week 1 due to Baltimore’s heavy reliance on the ground game and that might be the same story against Cleveland in Week 2. The 2023 league MVP has stayed Under this line in three of his last four meetings against the Browns, and I like him for another Under Sunday, though I believe it will be due to the Ravens running the ball more in a blowout win rather than Jackson struggling to make plays with his arm.
Joe Burrow Under 273.5 yards vs. Jaguars
Burrow is coming into Week 2 off one of the most pedestrian games of his career, putting up just 113 yards in a 17-16 win over the Browns. The former LSU star is not used to these numbers and now gets to face a Jaguars team that surrendered 257.4 passing yards per game a year ago, the worst mark in the league. I expect Burrow to come close to this number, but the Bengals are also likely to pull away from Jacksonville, which could lead to some additional run plays and keep Burrow Under this line. The SportsLine ITL model projects him at 230.7 yards.
