Kalshi's NFL board doesn't slow down between Thursday night and Monday, but Sunday is where the real action sits. With a full slate on the schedule, we picked out four combo trades worth trading before kickoff, mixing winners, spreads, and point totals from across the day. For a broader look at how the platform works, check out this Kalshi review and download the Action Network app for more picks and analysis all season long.

How Prediction Market Combos Work

On Kalshi, every NFL game isn't just one contract asking who wins. Each matchup usually carries a separate line for the spread, the total points scored, and sometimes individual team totals, all priced on their own. A combo trade links two of these positions together: from the same game or two different ones, into a single ticket. That means the games below aren't limited to just picking a winner; there's a lot more to dig into.

Combo 1: Buccaneers and Ravens to Win

Tampa Bay opens as the heaviest favorite of the week at home against Cleveland, and Baltimore isn't far behind hosting New Orleans. Both favorites are coming off rocky season openers: Tampa turned it over four times in a loss to Cincinnati, and the Browns were routed by Jacksonville, but the market clearly expects a get-right game for the Bucs and Ravens alike. It's the safest-looking pairing of the day, though Tampa's defense has struggled to cover recently, which is worth watching if the line moves closer to kickoff.

  • Cleveland Browns vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Sunday, Sept. 20, 1:00 PM ET
  • New Orleans Saints vs. Baltimore Ravens: Sunday, Sept. 20, 1:00 PM ET

Combo 2: Chiefs to Cover and Dolphins to Stay Within Reach

Kansas City opens as a big favorite over the Colts on Sunday Night Football, a rematch of last year's overtime classic, except this time both Patrick Mahomes and Daniel Jones are working back from major leg injuries. The market gives Kansas City a slight edge to clear that number. Pair it with Miami staying within their own large spread against a 49ers team that opened its season with a 27-7 win over the Rams; San Francisco is a big favorite here too, but Kalshi's own line shows the market leaning toward the Dolphins keeping this one from getting fully out of hand.

  • Miami Dolphins vs. San Francisco 49ers: Sunday, Sept. 20, 4:25 PM ET
  • Indianapolis Colts vs. Kansas City Chiefs: Sunday, Sept. 20, 8:20 PM ET

Combo 3: Commanders-Cowboys Over and Vikings-Bears Under

Both NFC East teams limped out of Week 1: Washington missed a late two-point try, Dallas lost as a favorite to the Giants, and this rematch carries the highest total of the day. Dak Prescott needs a better follow-up than his shaky opener, but the market still leans toward points piling up in Arlington. MinnesotaChicago sits close behind with one of the next-highest totals on the board, and both offenses have shown they can get there fast: the Bears put up 59 points in their opener and the Vikings answered with 39 of their own the week before. Even against that backdrop, Kalshi's line leans just slightly toward the Under, a small signal on an otherwise high-scoring night as Ben Johnson's group looks to build on its fast start in Chicago.

  • Washington Commanders vs. Dallas Cowboys: Sunday, Sept. 20, 4:25 PM ET
  • Minnesota Vikings vs. Chicago Bears: Sunday, Sept. 20, 1:00 PM ET

Combo 4: Eagles Moneyline and Eagles-Titans Over

Philadelphia travels to Nashville as a big favorite after Tennessee was upset at home by the Jets in Week 1, and the market gives the Eagles a clear edge to leave with the win. The total tells a different story: at 39.5, it's the lowest number on the entire Week 2 board, pointing to a defensive, grind-it-out expectation despite the mismatch. That makes Kalshi's slight lean toward the Over worth a second look: the market isn't fully buying into a low-scoring script here, even with the number set that low.

  • Philadelphia Eagles vs. Tennessee Titans: Sunday, Sept. 20, 1:00 PM ET

Four combos, eight different markets, and none of them limited to a straight moneyline pick. That's the appeal of trading Sunday's board one matchup at a time instead of picking just one side of one game.
