New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons
- Leg 1: Falcons -0.5 First-Quarter Spread (+114)
- Leg 2: Bijan Robinson 80+ Rushing Yards (-124)
- Leg 3: Juwan Johnson 50+ Receiving Yards (-188)
The Saints and Falcons have both been eliminated from playoff contention, but the NFC South squads enter this game hot. New Orleans is on a four-game winning streak, with Tyler Shough showing promise as the team’s possible quarterback of the future. Atlanta, meanwhile, has won three straight and just pulled off the upset over the Rams last week. This game could go either way, but there's an angle in the first quarter.
New Orleans has a league-worst 2-14 ATS mark in the first quarter this season. That includes a 1-7 ATS mark on the road in the first quarter. The Saints have also yet to lead after the first 15 minutes in any game this year. They also tend to be much more competitive in the second half. As for Atlanta, it's gotten off to fast starts lately. The Falcons have scored 21, 16 and 14 first-half points over the past three games. Let's back them to lead early at home here.
Just as he's been doing all season, Bijan Robinson should play a big role for Atlanta this weekend. The Saints are giving up 106.1 rushing yards per game to running backs, the seventh-most in the NFL. Robinson just went off for 195 rushing yards last week, and he's now averaging 106.3 yards per game over the last eight games. That includes 80+ rushing yards in six of his last eight contests. Robinson only had 70 rushing yards against the Saints earlier this season, but he averaged five yards per carry in the game.
On the Saints' side of things, expect Juwan Johnson to be a favorite target for Shough once again. The tight end has 95 and 89 yards in the past two games. He's also averaging 61.3 receiving yards per game over the last seven contests with Shough under center. Johnson was already a favorite option for the rookie signal-caller, but he gets a boost now with Chris Olave out this week.
Parlay Odds: +405
Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals
- Leg 1: Chase Brown Over 61.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
- Leg 2: Ja'Marr Chase Over 6.5 Receptions (-144)
- Leg 3: Dylan Sampson Over 39.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
After rushing for 101 yards last week, Chase Brown continues to produce on almost a weekly basis. He's now averaging 74.5 rushing yards over the past 10 games, while gaining 5.1 yards per carry in this stretch. Brown also has 60+ rushing yards in seven of his last 10 contests. Let's back the Bengals' lead ball-carrier to keep it going this week. Cleveland has a strong rush defense, but the aforementioned production is hard to ignore. Plus, Brown is 53 yards away from 1,000 on the season.
Let's also back another key member of the Bengals’ offense. In a meaningless game, the Bengals could look to feed Ja'Marr Chase in an interesting race. He currently trails Puka Nacua and Trey McBride by two receptions for the NFL lead. Don't be surprised if Joe Burrow targets Chase a ton to help him lock up that honor. That's been the case anyway lately. Chase is averaging 9.6 targets and 7.6 receptions over the past five games, with seven or more catches in four of the last five weeks.
On the Cleveland side, Dylan Sampson is in a prime matchup. The Bengals are giving up a league-high 122.9 rushing yards per game to opposing running backs this year. We've been targeting this defense all season, so let's do it once more. Sampson should see the most carries and snaps in the Cleveland backfield this week with Quinshon Judkins sidelined. In his return from injury last week, Sampson saw 11 carries for 27 yards in a tough matchup versus Pittsburgh. He's the better bet than Raheim Sanders to lead Cleveland in rushing.

Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings
- Leg 1: Packers Team Total Under 13.5 Points (-132)
- Leg 2: Packers Under 257.5 Receiving + Rushing Yards (-114)
- Leg 3: Vikings -2.5 First-Quarter Spread (-122)
- Leg 4: Vikings -5.5 First-Half Spread (-120)
- Leg 5: Vikings -3.5 Second-Half Spread (-115)
- Leg 6: Vikings -8.5 (-115)
The Packers are locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC, making this week's game meaningless. In turn, Green Bay is expected to rest several key players on both sides of the ball. That includes Jordan Love, who is cleared to play after missing last week. Clayton Tune will start at quarterback, with Malik Willis dealing with injuries of his own.
Green Bay has virtually nothing to play for, except pride, in this divisional matchup. Matt LaFleur can't rest all of his starters due to roster restrictions, but he'll likely sit as many as possible. Meanwhile, the 8-8 Vikings can't improve their draft stock much with a loss. They should be all-in on finishing the season on a high note. They also come in hot, winning four straight.
All in all, let's roll out a complete fade of the Packers on the road here with our parlay. Take the Vikings to not only cover the full-game spread, but also cover the numbers in the first quarter, first half and second half. It may seem like overkill, but it's also hard to see a team of Green Bay backups (with Tune at quarterback) having much success and keeping this close.
As noted, Minnesota has won four in a row entering the weekend. The Vikings just earned a double-digit win over Detroit last week, and even served a 31-0 beatdown to Washington in this stretch. This team is looking to build some confidence for next year, and J.J. McCarthy will return to start. Much has been made about McCarthy's inconsistencies, especially in connection with Justin Jefferson. Count on Kevin O'Connell to have his team ready to end the year with a win that starts early and often.
As for that total yards prop and the Packers' team total, the Minnesota defense should hold Tune and the Green Bay offense in check. The Vikings allowed just 10 points and 231 total yards to Detroit last week. They also gave up only 13 points and 141 total yards to the Giants in the game prior. Plus, in that shutout win over Washington, the defense held the Commanders to 206 total yards of offense.
Parlay Odds: +462 (FanDuel Sportsbook)
Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants
- Leg 1: Cowboys -3.5 (-105)
- Leg 2: Cowboys Team Total Over 30.5 Points (+160)
- Leg 3: Over 49.5 Points (-115)
- Leg 4: First-Half Over 24.5 Points (-102)
The Cowboys are officially eliminated from playoff contention. They should still be motivated to win this week to avoid a losing season for a second year in a row. Meanwhile, the Giants can lock up the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft with a loss and a Raiders win. The latter result isn't likely to happen, but New York would still be smart to get out with a loss, however intentional that may be.
Let's take Dallas to cover as road favorites while also scoring more than 30 points. The Giants have allowed at least 29 points six times over the last 10 games, while allowing 27.8 points per game (PPG) in this stretch. The Cowboys are averaging 28.4 PPG this season, with at least 27 points in nine of their last 10 games. They should be on the higher end of that average against New York's poor defense.
Dallas should also allow its fair share of points. The Cowboys are giving up a league-high 29.8 PPG this season. So, let's add in the over for both the full game and the first half. Plenty of trends back those picks, too. Just hope that the Giants don't score enough to cover the spread.
The over is 12-4 in Cowboys games this year. They're also 33-18 to the over in the past three seasons, which is the highest mark in the NFL. Plus, Dallas is 11-5 to the over on the road over the past two seasons. The first-half over is 8-0 in its road games this year as well. As for the Giants, they are 7-2 to the over in Jaxson Dart's last nine starts.
In terms of the spread, Dallas is 7-1 SU and 6-2 ATS on the road against the Giants since 2017. The Cowboys have also beaten New York outright in nine straight meetings, and they're 16-1 SU in this rivalry since 2017. Simply put, it's been a lopsided matchup almost every time. Let's count on that continuing, especially with the Giants' current draft situation.
Parlay Odds: +415
Tennessee Titans at Jacksonville Jaguars
- Leg 1: Jaguars Team Total Over 24.5 Points (-290)
- Leg 2: Trevor Lawrence 240+ Passing Yards (-136)
- Leg 3: Parker Washington 50+ Receiving Yards (-111)
- Leg 3: Tony Pollard Under 67.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
The Jaguars need to win this game to clinch the AFC South. They should have all the motivation to win to earn a home playoff game in the first round and avoid falling to the No. 5 or No. 6 seed. With that situation in mind, the Jacksonville offense should be locked in to score enough and build a safe lead. Let's count on the Jaguars to score at least 25 points on the alt team total.
Jacksonville has scored 25+ points in eight of the last nine games, averaging 31.9 PPG during this stretch. Meanwhile, the Titans have given up 25+ points in eight of their last 10 games while allowing 27.6 PPG over this span. Plus, the Jaguars are notably 12-4 to the over on their team totals this year, which is tied for the best mark in the NFL.
Let's also back Trevor Lawrence to have a good game with the Jaguars gunning for the divisional title. He should come out throwing to exploit a shaky Tennessee secondary. The Titans are allowing 246.9 passing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks this season, the eighth-most in the NFL. Lawrence has at least 240 yards in five of the last six games, averaging 266.8 yards per game in this stretch. It's also worth noting that Lawrence needs 248 passing yards to get to 4,000 on the season. That's a key milestone for someone who reached 4,000 in both 2022 and 2023 before his down season last year.
One of Lawrence's top targets lately has been Parker Washington. The third-year wideout is having a breakout season with 760 receiving yards thus far. He's gone off for 145 and 115 yards in the past two games, with 10 targets in both. Washington is now averaging 67.2 yards per game over the past nine contests, with 50+ yards in six out of the nine games. He'll face a Titans secondary giving up the fourth-most receiving yards per game to opposing wideouts.
On the Tennessee side of things, Tony Pollard is rolling lately. He's run for 161, 104, 102 and 85 yards over the last four games. Yet, we're fading the Titans running back in this matchup. Jacksonville is allowing a league-low 68.1 rushing yards per game to opposing running backs. The defense has also yet to allow any player to rush for 75+ yards in a single game. Diving deeper, the Jaguars have faced a running back with a rushing yards prop of 60+ eight times, and those backs are 8-0 to the under. Let's add Pollard to the list.
Parlay Odds: +445
Indianapolis Colts at Houston Texans
- Leg 1: Dalton Schultz Over 37.5 Receiving Yards (-111)
- Leg 2: Woody Marks Over 53.5 Rushing Yards (-111)
- Leg 3: Riley Leonard Over 0.5 Interceptions (-197)
Houston can still clinch the AFC South with a win and a Jaguars loss. Thus, the Texans are expected to play their starters and go for it. In turn, they're a double-digit home favorite over an Indianapolis team eliminated from playoff contention and starting rookie Riley Leonard at quarterback.
Considering the spread and expected game script, Woody Marks should be productive as Houston plays from ahead. Marks returned from injury last week and had 71 rushing yards on 19 carries, which is a good sign that the Texans are still committed to giving him a bell-cow workload over Nick Chubb. Marks now has 60+ rushing yards in six of his last eight full games played, including four straight. He's also averaging 64 yards and 18.7 carries over his past six full games.
The Colts have been among the worst at defending tight ends this season. They're giving up 69 receiving yards per game to the position, the second-most in the NFL. It's a great matchup for Dalton Schultz, who had 55 yards on seven receptions against the Colts earlier this season. Houston's tight end has been up and down in terms of yardage, but 38 yards is a low bar at his best. Schultz has 50+ yards in seven of the last 12 games, averaging 48.2 yards per game in this stretch.
As noted, the Colts will start Leonard over Philip Rivers this week. It's a tough ask for the rookie, on the road against the top-tier Houston defense. Let's count on the Texans intercepting Leonard. The defense has 18 interceptions this season, the fourth-most in the league. The unit also has at least one interception in seven out of eight home games. Leonard not only threw an interception when he entered in relief of Daniel Jones last month, but he also got picked off on his lone pass attempt last week. Not a good omen ahead of this matchup.
Parlay Odds: +420
New York Jets at Buffalo Bills
- Leg 1: Under 40.5 Points (-173)
- Leg 2: Jets Team Total Under 16.5 Points (-180)
- Leg 3: Jets First Team to Score (+154)
These Jets and Bills are in very different positions ahead of their divisional matchup this week. New York can lock up the second pick in the NFL Draft with a loss, while a win could drop them all the way down to seventh overall. Meanwhile, the Bills are locked into a Wild Card spot; it's just a matter of seeding based on Sunday's results.
Josh Allen is expected to start for Buffalo, but it'll likely only be for a play to extend his consecutive starts streak. Mitchell Trubisky will play the majority of the game. The Bills will also probably rest other key starters, at least in the second half. We saw this happen last year in Week 18, as Allen began the game but exited after one snap, and the Bills scored just 16 points against a bad Patriots team.
Overall, this should be a low-scoring contest. Even against a poor Jets defense, the Bills' offense could struggle without Allen at quarterback. Meanwhile, New York will have no motivation to win to improve its draft stock. The Jets' offense, with Brady Cook under center, is also terrible right now. They're averaging just 11.5 PPG over the past four games with 10 points or fewer in three of those games.
As of this writing, no player props were available to bet on at the major sportsbooks. Let's take the under on the alternate full-game total and the Jets team total of 16.5 points. New York has been held to fewer than 16 points in five of the last seven games.
Let's make this a fun parlay and root for the Jets to score first. The Bills, even with Allen, have started slowly for most of the season. The offense is usually much better in the second half, and that could be the case early with Trubisky at quarterback. Also, the Jets could have a successful opening drive of the game before Buffalo's defense clamps down.
Parlay Odds: +405
Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears
- Leg 1: Over 50.5 Points (-115)
- Leg 2: Lions Team Total Over 23.5 Points (-125)
- Leg 3: Caleb Williams 250+ Passing Yards (+104)
- Leg 4: Luther Burden III 60+ Receiving Yards (-110)
The Lions and Bears are in very different situations ahead of this divisional showdown. Chicago can lock up the No. 2 seed in the NFC with a victory. Meanwhile, Detroit is eliminated from playoff contention following last week's loss. Despite being out of it, the Lions would like nothing more than to end the season on a high note with a win over a division rival. Dan Campbell should have his team ready to make things interesting.
It's tempting to back Detroit on the spread, but let's grab the over for this NFC North clash. Detroit is giving up 30.2 PPG over the last six games as the defense is trending down. The Bears are scoring 27.8 PPG over their last six contests. The Lions have also been playing in a ton of high-scoring games lately. They are 7-2 to the over in their last nine games.
It appears Jared Goff and all the Lions' starters will be playing. Detroit still has a dangerous offense at its best, and it won't go quietly in this game. The Bears just gave up 42 points and 496 total yards to the 49ers last week, and the defense was on the field for 68 plays. The Lions are also notably averaging 33.1 PPG after a loss this season.
As we count on a higher-scoring game in a potential back-and-forth shootout, let's add in a couple of Chicago props. Caleb Williams has thrown for 330, 250 and 242 yards in the last three games. He's playing with a ton of confidence and can keep it going against Detroit's inconsistent secondary. Notably, Williams needs 270 yards to get to 4,000 on the season. It was a preseason goal for the Bears quarterback and a milestone he's publicly talked about hitting.
One of Williams' top targets should continue to be Luther Burden. He's caught fire lately with 138, 84 and 67 receiving yards over his last three games. This outburst has also coincided with Rome Odunze being sidelined. That could be the case again this week as Odunze is questionable after being out since Week 13.
Parlay Odds: +415
Los Angeles Chargers at Denver Broncos
- Leg 1: RJ Harvey Over 56.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
- Leg 2: Trey Lance 28+ Passing Attempts (-148)
- Leg 3: Courtland Sutton 50+ Receiving Yards (-124)
The Broncos are double-digit home favorites for this AFC West clash. Denver can lock up the No. 1 seed in the AFC with a win. Meanwhile, the Chargers will be resting Justin Herbert and multiple other starters this weekend. In what should be an easy win with a second-half lead for the Broncos, it'll create a favorable game script for RJ Harvey.
Harvey has been productive as Denver's lead back over the last month. He's averaging 90.5 total yards over the past four games. That includes 58.3 rushing yards per game in this stretch. The rookie should see 15+ carries with a favorable game flow, and the volume alone can get him over his 56.5 rushing yards prop. The Chargers have a strong run defense, but we'll likely see some backups on that side of the ball.
With Herbert out, Los Angeles will start Trey Lance at quarterback this week. Don't expect a ton of yards in a tough road matchup, but his passing attempts should be on the higher end. The spread and expected game flow should have Lance throwing it plenty while trailing. Plus, Denver is allowing 34.3 pass attempts per game (ninth-most in the NFL). When Lance started Week 18 for Dallas last year, he chucked it 34 times. Look for L.A. to let him throw it around.
As the Broncos go for the AFC's top seed, Courtland Sutton should also have a good game. He's seeing a ton of targets lately, with 10+ in four straight games entering this week. He's averaging 70.3 receiving yards over the past six contests as well. Sutton is also averaging 72.3 yards per game at home this year. Plus, he tore up the Chargers earlier this season with 118 yards on six receptions.
Parlay Odds: +445
Kansas City Chiefs at Las Vegas Raiders
- Leg 1: Chiefs Moneyline (-245)
- Leg 2: Travis Kelce Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+250)
- Leg 3: Chris Oladokun Over 137.5 Passing Yards (-114)
The Chiefs wrap up their forgettable and disappointing season on the road in Las Vegas. Let's back Andy Reid and Co. to end the year on a high note with a victory. The Raiders can lock up the first pick in the 2026 NFL Draft with a loss, so they likely won't be actively trying to win. Pete Carroll could be fired by Monday, and it'll be a combination of Kenny Pickett and Aidan O'Connell at quarterback.
As for Kansas City, it's currently on a five-game losing streak with a 1-7 record over the last eight contests. However ugly the situation is, the Chiefs are still favored by more than a field goal for a reason here. Expect a motivated effort from this veteran team to end the season with a victory.
On that note, this could be the final game of Travis Kelce's career. What better way to go out than with a touchdown? Let's bank on the Chiefs dialing something up to get Kelce into the end zone to wrap up a Hall of Fame career. He's expected to play his usual snaps in this game, for what that's worth.
Admittedly, the Chris Oladokun experience wasn't pretty last week for Kansas City. He had just 66 passing yards and averaged three yards per completion against the Broncos. However, the Raiders present a much easier matchup this week. Oladokun did show some upside two games ago in relief of Gardner Minshew, throwing for 111 yards on 11-of-13 passing. His yardage line is set very low, and it's one he can hit against a shaky Raiders defense.
Parlay Odds: +549 (FanDuel Sportsbook)
Washington Commanders at Philadelphia Eagles
- Leg 1: Tanner McKee 220+ Passing Yards (-118)
- Leg 2: Tanner McKee 2+ Passing Touchdowns (+112)
- Leg 3: Darius Cooper Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+165)
Despite still being alive for the NFC No. 2 seed, the Eagles will sit Jalen Hurts and other starters this week. That means it's Tanner McKee at quarterback. Let's fire up the McKee props as he takes on a poor Washington defense at home.
In limited action, McKee has shown plenty of upside as one of the better backups in the league. He threw for 269 yards and two touchdowns on 41 pass attempts while starting Week 18 for the Eagles a season ago. For what it's worth, he also had 252 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns in a preseason game against the Bengals earlier this year. McKee has yet to see meaningful playing time this season, so Philly should let him throw it around in a possible offseason trade showcase game.
Plus, the matchup doesn't get much better than this one. The Commanders are allowing 258.1 passing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks, the fourth-most in the NFL. The secondary has also given up 32 passing scores in 16 games. McKee can exploit this favorable matchup and hit the over on his props.
One of McKee's top targets should be Darius Cooper, so let's count on the rookie to be on the receiving end of one of those touchdowns. The Eagles will likely sit both A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, opening up plenty of snaps and targets for Cooper. He only has 59 yards on six catches this season, and he's yet to score. However, we can reasonably increase our expectations for this week. Cooper also presumably has a connection with McKee since both have been practicing with the second team.
Parlay Odds: +415
Arizona Cardinals at Los Angeles Rams
- Leg 1: Rams Team Total Over 27.5 Points (-110)
- Leg 2: Over 46.5 Points (-105)
- Leg 3: Cardinals Last Team to Score (+130)
The Rams are in a unique situation this weekend. By kick-off on Sunday, they could be locked into the No. 6 seed if the 49ers beat the Seahawks on Saturday night. If Seattle wins, though, Los Angeles can get to the No. 5 seed with a win of their own.
Despite the seeding uncertainty, Sean McVay said his starters will play. This is actually the opposite approach of what the Rams have done under McVay previously. However, the head coach said his team needs to play better after losing the past two games. Los Angeles will look to build some momentum heading into the postseason.
With that in mind, let's take the over on the Los Angeles team total to begin our parlay. The defense has largely been the issue lately, but the Rams are still averaging 34.8 PPG over the past six games. They've also scored at least 28 points in eight of the last 10 games. Meanwhile, Arizona is allowing 35 PPG during its current eight-game losing streak.
Let's also take the over in this game. Arizona's poor defense usually leads to higher-scoring contests, and Jacoby Brissett gets one more chance to chuck it around and make plays. The Cardinals are 9-3 to the over in their last 12 games, while the Rams have played to the over in five straight. When these teams met back in Week 14, it was a 45-17 victory for Los Angeles, with the over hitting easily.
As of this writing, no player props were available at the sportsbooks. So, let's have some fun with our last pick to round out the parlay. The Rams should get out to an early lead and coast in the second half. It's a prime setup for Arizona to score in garbage time as Brissett and the rest of the offense try to end the season strong. Notably, the Cardinals have been the last team to score in five of their last eight games, despite losing each time.
Parlay Odds: +415
Miami Dolphins at New England Patriots
- Leg 1: Patriots Team Total Over 27.5 Points (-125)
- Leg 2: TreVeyon Henderson Over 58.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
- Leg 3: Quinn Ewers Under 206.5 Passing Yards (-114)
New England can clinch the No. 1 seed in the AFC with a win and a Broncos loss on Sunday. That situation has the Patriots expected to play their healthy starters, especially on offense. Let's not worry about the spread in what should be a comfortable win over Miami. Instead, back the Patriots to score at least 28 points at home.
The Patriots are averaging 31.5 PPG over their last six home games. They're also averaging 30.7 PPG over the past seven games overall. Unless they take their foot off the gas in the second half, which is possible, it's hard to imagine Miami slowing Drake Maye and Co. down. The Dolphins recently gave up 45 points to Cincinnati and 28 points to Pittsburgh. They've also allowed 27+ points in five out of seven road games this year.
TreVeyon Henderson had a slow start to the season, but he's exploded in the second half. The rookie is now averaging 87.8 rushing yards per game over his last eight healthy games. That includes 60+ yards in six straight as well. After returning from injury last week, the rookie put up 82 rushing yards on 19 carries. The Patriots should look for Henderson to end the year strong. Notably, he needs 142 rushing yards to get to 1,000 on the season.
On the Miami side, it could be a long day for Quinn Ewers. The rookie was productive against the Bengals two games ago with 260 passing yards. However, he came back down to Earth with just 172 yards against Tampa Bay last week. Now he faces a stout Patriots defense on the road. The secondary is giving up just 210.8 passing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks this season. Ewers should be held below that average here.
