As someone told you a couple nights ago you are in the minority. Those of us who watch all 30 teams seem to agree Benetti/Stone is one of the better combos
Not sure because it was a special where they boosted the odds. In a typical parlay they normally just push any tie. So for example lets say it was a normal parlay and hawks tied it would pay 8 to 1 instead of 16 to 1, etc. (assuming the tie line is +100)
