Barstool Cave TD parlay rides Walker, Puka, then JSN stalls

The Cave parlay cashed last week, so Sunday's version had a crowd. Almost 30,000 people were tailing it on DraftKings before kickoff, and the early window delivered the first leg.

Always good to see the first one on the board. Kenneth Walker gets the Cave Parlay going with a TD. @raisingcanes

That's the way an anytime TD parlay is supposed to start. Walker gets in early, the room relaxes, and you hope the rest of the slip follows. Walker is in Kansas City now, by the way, after the Seahawks shut him down in his October return to Seattle. Nobody in the Cave was thinking about Seattle yet, though. That came later.

Then the afternoon got better. Puka Nacua scored, Coleman scored right after him, and 2 legs cashed back-to-back. Puka was putting up a big day too: a league-wide ticker later in the night had him at 124 yards. With 3 legs in, a slip that thousands of people were riding was suddenly very much alive.

The Cave parlay has LIFE PUKA ATTD ✅ COLEMAN ATTD ✅

The late window is where things went quiet. Seattle was beating Arizona, Jaxon Smith-Njigba was getting the ball, and he still wasn't scoring. In the other window, Green Bay kept pulling away from New England, and the energy in the room disappeared.

The Packers extend the lead JSN hasn't scored The cave is getting quiet @raisingcanes

It got worse for Rico. Seattle was up 14-3 on Arizona in the 3rd quarter, the on-screen ticker said, and the Seahawks were playing it safe instead of piling on. If you need a team to score, a comfortable lead and a conservative play-caller is about the worst thing you can watch. Rico had seen enough.

Rico has had ENOUGH of the Seahawks

The box score doesn't help. Seattle won 17-3, and JSN finished with 7 catches for 51 yards and no touchdown, with Drew Lock at quarterback. He did reach 1,000 yards in the 1st quarter, making him only the 3rd Seahawk with 3 straight 1,000-yard seasons, after Steve Largent and Tyler Lockett. That's a great note for Seattle and no use to anyone holding an anytime TD ticket. The Cave got 3 quick legs and then lost the wait. After cashing last week, the crew has to build a new slip for Week 10.
