Early NFL Parlay and Best Bets: Week 14 (2021)
Just four games remain in the 2021-22 NFL regular season and things are as uncertain as they’ve been in recent memory at this point in the season. Even with the extra regular-season game, more than a dozen teams remain in playoff contention with some critical matchups coming this Sunday and Monday.
Let’s take a closer look and see where the most value lies.

Leg #1. Ravens ML | +120 at DK Sportsbook
The Ravens will look to get back on track following a dog fight in Pittsburgh Sunday afternoon, losing the game 19-20 following a failed two-point conversion with seconds remaining. Despite the loss, the Ravens still hold the top spot in the AFC North albeit by the narrowest of margins. Just two games behind in desperate need to pick one up here, the Browns are lurking and now get this Ravens team at home with recent momentum on their side having won three of four.
In this one, I look for the Ravens’ high-powered offense to get back on track following a showing in Pittsburgh that left much to be desired.
Leg #2. Falcons -2.5 | -105 at DK Sportsbook
While the division might be out of reach for the Falcons with the Buccaneers firmly at the top, a spot in the playoffs is still very much on the table. Currently a game out of the final spot, the Falcons come into this one having lost three of four and in desperate need of a win. It is worth noting those three losses have come against the Cowboys, Patriots, and Buccaneers; three teams that certainly won’t look like the team they’re facing Sunday.
For the Panthers, also losers of three of four, a road loss to the Dolphins Sunday marked their third loss in four games as well, putting them at 5-7 and also one game out from the playoffs. In this one, I like for the Falcons offense to be able to do enough to squeak past a Panthers unit scoring just 19.7 points per game with QB carousel ending no time soon.
Leg #3. Football Team +4.5 | -110 at DK Sportsbook
Currently separated by just two games in the NFC East, the Football Team welcomes in the Cowboys Sunday for a game with tons of postseason implications. For the home Football Team, a slow start has been followed up by four straight wins (4-0 ATS), as they are surging at the right time of the season led by NFL journeyman Taylor Heinicke.
For the Cowboys, trouble smells afoot in Jerry’s world as they’ve lost three of five following a hot start and have been plagued with COVID issues. I like for their woes to continue in this one and for the Football team to be able to keep this one close.
