Jahmyr Gibbs has carried the ball at least 20 times in every Lions win this season. Those five games all brought at least 99 rushing yards; Detroit’s two losses brought 52 and 46. If you’re backing the Lions against Miami, his workload gives you a concrete place to start.
The Dolphins can still supply a supporting option in that Detroit-win scenario. Malik Washington has reached 40 receiving yards in each of Miami’s six losses this season, while Ollie Gordon II has usually done his work on the ground. These Lions parlay picks compare those Miami losses and Gibbs’ Detroit wins with each player’s full season. That’s Side & Support Parlay Plays: options built around your chosen winner, with room to decide which contributions fit your view.
Lions parlay picks for a Detroit win

Jahmyr Gibbs: 90+ rushing yards
Gibbs’ recent wins haven’t needed Detroit to run away with the score. He rushed for 116 yards on 29 carries in the 20–17 win over Green Bay, then 153 on 23 carries in the 19–15 win over Minnesota. Those are recognizable ways for a running back to stay involved in a close game.
The 90-yard milestone costs −145. DraftKings also offered over 96.5 at −114 and 100+ at −102. His closest call in a win was 99 against the Jets. Both 90 and the main over reached all five wins and five of seven appearances overall. At 100, that becomes four of five wins and four of seven appearances. Paying more for 90 buys a little breathing room; it doesn’t turn the five-game record into a guarantee.
This season is the useful starting point because Gibbs is carrying more of the rushing load: 157 attempts in seven games, compared with 243 in seventeen last season. The older wins are a check on how far to take the pattern. He reached 90 yards in only five of nine Detroit wins and five of 17 appearances in the 2025 season, including misses of 67 against Baltimore, 54 against Cincinnati, 43 against Dallas and 80 against Chicago. The current record is stronger, but it hasn’t been a two-season constant.
Detroit is missing center Cade Mays, and Amon-Ra St. Brown is questionable with a rib injury. The supporting backfield also has injury questions around Sione Vaki’s ankle and Jacob Saylors’ neck, with Isiah Pacheco on injured reserve. Those issues could change the offense around Gibbs; they don’t promise him extra carries. His 16 carries against Buffalo and 15 against Carolina both ended below 90 yards in losses.
Malik Washington: 40+ receiving yards
A Miami loss hasn’t stopped Washington from finding receiving yards this season. The catch is how close several games have been: he had 43 against San Francisco, 43 against Cincinnati and exactly 40 against New England last week. The 40-yard milestone at −139 covers those three; the separately offered 44+ at −113 would have lost all three and reached only three of six Miami losses and three of seven appearances overall.
Going lower also has a price. DraftKings listed 30+ at −249 and 25+ at −344. Both reached all six losses too. Thirty yards reached six of seven appearances overall, while 25 reached all seven by covering the Jets win. Paying for those lower lines didn’t add another losing-game hit in this season’s sample. Across all seven games, Washington’s one miss at 40 came in Miami’s win over the Jets, when he caught three passes for 27 yards.
Washington’s role is why this edition focuses on the current season rather than pooling his older receiving totals into that record. He’s drawn 45 targets in seven games this year after 65 in seventeen last year, and he’s now atop Miami’s receiver depth chart with Malik Willis at quarterback. In the previous season, he reached 40 yards in just one of ten Dolphins losses and two of 17 appearances overall. The six-for-six start belongs to this offense’s current usage, with very little cushion in the latest game.
Detroit will be without cornerback D.J. Reed and safety Kerby Joseph. That matters to the matchup, but the option still needs Washington to turn his chances into yards. Five catches on six targets produced exactly 40 last week. Miami getting some production from him can fit a Lions win without requiring the Dolphins to win a shootout.
Ollie Gordon II: under 8.5 receiving yards
Gordon’s under gives you a different way to look at Miami’s backfield. He rushed for 103 yards against the Jets and 69 against New England in his last two games, yet finished with zero receiving yards in both. Against Minnesota, even two catches produced zero receiving yards. This is a receiving-only under at −119, so a productive rushing afternoon doesn’t defeat it.
The clear exception came against Kansas City: three catches on three targets for 14 yards. That was enough to lose this under in a Dolphins loss. It is also the only miss in his sixteen Miami losses across the two seasons; the longer record is fifteen of sixteen in losses and twenty-one of twenty-three appearances overall. The pattern has persisted across outcomes rather than becoming more frequent specifically when Miami loses.
The current records include an opener with no recorded carries or targets, before Gordon became Miami’s lead back. They describe the saved stat lines, rather than reconstructed sportsbook settlements.
His workload has changed, though. Gordon already has 91 carries in seven games this season, more than the 70 he had across sixteen appearances last year. He’s now the expected lead back, with De’Von Achane on injured reserve and Jaylen Wright and Kaytron Allen questionable. That makes the old backup usage a limited guide. The current season still has just one receiving-yardage miss, but the under leaves room for only eight yards; one useful catch could take it over. Gordon’s under and Washington’s yards draw on the same Miami passing opportunities, so their separate records don’t make them independent.

Pick the workload you expect
Gibbs is the direct choice if your Detroit view starts with sustained rushing work. The difference between 90 yards and the main over comes down to how much room you want to pay for. On Miami’s side, Washington’s 40-yard target keeps several narrow results that a higher line loses; Gordon’s under asks for the receiving work to go elsewhere. You can choose one route without turning all three into a fixed parlay, and a sportsbook can adjust the price of related legs.
