I have put together my favorite NFL parlay for Sunday of Wild Card Weekend
With multiple games on the first two days of NFL Wild Card Weekend, I have focused my attention on the three games being played Sunday, and put together my favorite NFL parlay. You will find two parlays below: (1) a five-leg parlay with 55-1 odds, and (2) a "safer" three-leg parlay with +144 odds.
I only managed to hit two of the five legs in my longshot parlay from last week, losing a little bit of money betting them as singles as well. I was a combined 19 yards away from hitting both the Rico Dowdle and Joe Flacco legs. Hitting just one of them would have brought in some good profit, and. both would have made for a nice week. I did, however, hit my higher-probability parlay, cashing the +227 payout.
With a shortened list of games for me to hone in on, here are my favorite NFL parlays for Sunday of Wild Card Weekend!
My favorite NFL parlay for Sunday of Wild Card Weekend is the five-leg parlay in the table above, and it is best played at bet365 for +5581 odds. If you try to place this parlay anywhere else, the odds will not come close.
If you are trying to put this parlay through a calculator, keep in mind this is two same-game parlays with a single. So, the calculator will spit out odds slightly longer than the above, but you won't be able to find those odds at any sportsbook.
The Broncos second-year receiver is finally starting to breakout a little bit. Mims has recorded 50+ receiving yards in each of his last three games, and four of his last five. Not only has he been a deep-threat, recording longs of 51+ yards in three of his last five, but Sean Payton is also scheming ways to put the ball in Mims' hands. Mims has seen at least five targets in each of his last three games, which includes a season-high eight targets in Week 17.
The Bills defense has given up the ninth-most passing yards in the NFL, and are 17th in net yards allowed per pass attempt. Whether Denver is playing from behind or not, I like Mims to continue being involved.
Denver has gone over 20.5 points in each of their last seven games, and are averaging 32.6 points per game in that stretch. A handful of those defenses weren't great units, but they did put up 27 points against a tough Chargers defense in Week 16.
The Bills rank 11th in points allowed, but did surrender more than 20.5 points in nine of their 17 games. A decent chunk of the teams who went under that total against Buffalo were bad offenses, though - the Jets, Jaguars, Dolphins without Tua for a half, Titans etc.
I agree with my SBD formula on the spread in the Packers at Eagles game being too big. My formula likes the Eagles to win, which I wrote about in its NFL Picks for Wild Card Weekend, but thinks it's going to be less than a FG margin of victory.
It wouldn't surprise me if the Eagles offense had a little bit of rust with Jalen Hurts taking his first snaps since the early part of their Week 16 game against the Commanders. On top of that, I think coaching becomes an even bigger factor in the playoffs, and I give the clear advantage to Matt LaFleur in that category. Green Bay may not be able to pull off the upset, but I like them to keep this game within three points.
Since Noah Brown was lost for the season, Olamide Zaccheaus has stepped into the WR2 role in Washington and he has made the most of the opportunity - outside of dropping that touchdown last week when he was wide open in the endzone. Zaccheaus has recorded 50+ receiving yards in each of his last three games, which includes an 85-yard performance two weeks ago. In that span, he has seen 22 targets, leading the team in that category in two of three games.
I like the Buccaneers to force the Commanders to play with some urgency, and like Zaccheaus to remain a factor in this explosive Washington offense.
I discussed this why I like Terry McLaurin to find the endzone in my Wild Card NFL TD Picks. You can follow that link to read my analysis.
If you don't want to play a 55-1 parlay on Sunday, or just want to play more than one, the above is a second option that I am calling my higher-probability NFL parlay for Wild Card Weekend. This parlay has three legs and is best played at DraftKings. They're one of few sportsbooks offering the 25+ rushing milestone for Josh Allen.
Here are some quick-hitters on why I like each leg above:
