Top NFL Parlay Picks for Week 13 (2021)

Last week, we didn’t come close to hitting your parlay. Instead, both New York teams actually ended up winning for the first time in a couple of years on the same day. Who jinxed it?

Anyway, we’re back for another try. In Week 13, there are plenty of exciting options to include in our parlay. Let’s get right to it!

Leg #1 Bengals -166 Moneyline

The Cincinnati Bengals took a bye week a few weeks ago after losing to the Jets and the Browns in back-to-back weeks. Since that bye week, the Bengals look rejuvenated, winning their last two games while outscoring their opponents 73-23.

The offense has been exceptional this season, scoring 28.1 points per game. Meanwhile, the defense has held opponents to just 20.5 points per game. There have been some inconsistencies this season, but overall, the Bengals look good. Head Coach Zac Taylor has a real chance at winning Head Coach of the Year. But he’s going to have to win more. This would be a massive win for Taylor and the Bengals with Joe Burrow going up against Justin Hebert.

Both quarterbacks are in their sophomore seasons. Herbert has slumped a little more than Burrow but both quarterbacks should become stars in the league in no time.

On the defensive side of the ball, neither team has been excellent but the Chargers have allowed 26.6 points per game, which is nearly a touchdown more than the Bengals. The rushing defense for Cincinnati has been better and the special teams unit has been a real winner for the Bengals. So grab the Bengals, at home, at -170 for the first leg of the parlay.

Leg #2. Cardinals -360 Moneyline

The Cardinals are 9-2 on the season and have been playing without Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins. Beat reporters close to the team have acknowledged that Murray and Hopkins are practicing this week and could be playing this game against the Bears, on the road.

The Cardinals have lacked offense and have lacked defense this season. But with Murray in charge, all problems will just wash away for the Cardinals. The defense still has an effective pass rush, even without J.J. Watt around the and coverage unit has still worked wonders.

Meanwhile, the Bears will be without Justin Fields this week and will rely on Andy Dalton under center. Dalton is an afterthought at this point and struggled to put away the Lions last week on Thanksgiving. Dalton doesn’t have the ability that Fields has. Take the Cardinals on the Moneyline. It’s lower than I thought it would be at this time. This is likely due to the uncertainty with Murray and Hopkins.

Leg #3. Patriots +120 Moneyline

I wasn’t a believer until last week. Once the Patriots dominated the Titans and forced a bunch of takeaways while limiting turnovers on the offensive end, I was convinced.

This is a Monday game, so if the first two legs hit, you can always hedge out and guarantee profit if you’d like. However, we’re getting the Patriots, on the road, going up against the Bills, in a big AFC East showdown to figure out first place. It doesn’t get any better than that.

Who do you trust more in these situations? The Patriots or the Bills? Josh Allen continues to fold under pressure late in this season while Mac Jones and the Patriots are on a massive win streak. Give me the Patriots with the plus money.
