Last week’s NFL parlay picks got off to a great start, as the Vikings and Saints put up a ton of points. In fact, the Saints hit the Over all by themselves.
The rest of my NFL parlay didn’t really agree with me. Miami won, but they didn’t cover. Arizona needed to beat a 49ers team that isn’t in the playoffs and couldn’t.
Tennessee had to win in Green Bay and didn’t bother to show up.
Week 17 brings a chance to hit the reset button and get one more set of parlay picks in the green, however. Let’s see which bets I like the most as I break down my favorite parlay picks for NFL week 17.
Incentive is a thing in professional football. It also helps to be pretty good and have a tasty matchup.
Tennessee fell flat in the snow against the Packers last week, but they’ve got the great trifecta I just mentioned. They face a Texans team that has clearly given up, they’re capable of putting up 40+ points, and they need to win to lock up a playoff spot (and possibly a division title).
Derrick Henry should run wild in this spot.
He did drop 212 rushing yards and two scores the last time he faced Houston, after all.
I don’t think the second meeting will be nearly as close.
Another game I doubt will be tough to predict is the week 17 showdown between the Seahawks and 49ers.
San Francisco has remained competitive despite being eliminated from the playoff race, but they don’t have much incentive to stage a pretty big upset.
Seattle is a sizable favorite in a game they have to win for a shot at the top seed (and a first-round bye) in the NFC.
Seahawks can actually still get the 1 seed if both Saints and Green Bay lose — or the 2 seed if one of them lose.

The Seahawks are also just the far better team, as Russell Wilson and co. should be able to put up points against a Niners defense that couldn’t stop the Cowboys two weeks ago.
The Niners are pesky enough to the point where the spread feels dicey, but I’m otherwise comfortable in going hard at the Seahawks in this spot.
This is the only bet in my week 17 NFL parlay picks that feels a little risky. However, when speaking of incentive, nobody has more reason to get a win this week than Chicago.
The Bears presently hold the final playoff seed in the NFC after a roller-coaster season, and they know a win gets them into the big dance.
Mitch Trubisky has been playing so well that some think the Bears will retain him going into next year.
Honestly if the #Bears find a way to upset this Packers team next week, I won't argue about Matt Nagy and Mitch Trubisky returning.

That’d be a questionable decision, to be sure, but here he is, about to guide the Bears to the playoffs for the second time in three years.
Chicago’s defense is also playing well, and David Montgomery has their rushing attack roaring to life.
Beating the Packers sounds daunting, but things change when your backs are against the wall. I think it’s very possible Chicago stages the much-needed upset, but if they can’t, this should at least be a good game where the Bears threaten the spread.
I’ll keep things relatively tame for my week 17 NFL parlay picks. Aiming high hasn’t worked out in recent weeks, and there aren’t a ton of NFL upset picks to confidently target.
You can still go with my favorite week 17 NFL underdog plays (linked below), but for my top NFL parlay this week, I’ll just string together my favorite bets.
Tennessee needs to win to get into the playoffs, and they get the lowly Texans. It’s a total mismatch, and the Titans should leave zero doubt here.
Seattle needs to win for a shot at the #1 seed in the NFC. The 49ers are competitive enough to possibly beat the spread, but I can’t see the Seahawks blowing this opportunity.
If you must go wild, then change this bet to include the Bears as a straight-up winner (+200). In the name of producing a winner this week, I’ll keep things restricted and just target a palatable 5.5-point spread.
Chicago needs to win just to sneak into the playoffs, and I think at the very worst, they give the Packers a good fight.
This week 17 NFL parlay brings back $416.08 for every $100 risked at Bovada. None of these wagers individually return plus money, so you’re getting a considerable boost by just combining them in a parlay.

The NFL is back and we have coverage for every game, handing out free top NFL picks and odds analysis as always. We were able to hit big wins in the first three weeks, and Week 4 has some juicy lines for us to take on for parlay combinations. We have a couple of juicy line-busting parlays to line your pockets with.
The first parlay we’re going to attack sees two modest lines for clearly better teams hitting the road. While it’s difficult to trust certain teams on the road in cooler weather, there’s certain coaching mismatches that must be trusted when it comes to betting. These two games fit the criteria perfectly.
The Colts have a clearly better overall team than the Bears even as Nick Foles takes over for bust Mitchell Trubisky. The two-point line is proper respect for the Colts and the revitalized Philip Rivers, but I see value here because I don’t foresee Frank Reich getting outcoached by Matt Nagy. The totality of the situation looks like a good play for the Colts.
Then we see Sean Payton against Matt Patricia in a massive mismatch. Alvin Kamara has been unstoppable in recent games and there’s not a single defender capable of slowing him on the Lions defense. The Lions are still a freefall candidate even after their shocking win against Arizona last week.
Fears of Drew Brees struggling on the road aren’t quite as large because the game is inside. The Lions’ offense can be troublesome now that Adrian Peterson has taken control of the backfield, but the Saints should be one-touchdown better even on the road considering their roster quality.
Parlay:
It’s scary to bet on West Coast teams coming East for an early game, but my goodness the Seahawks’ offense makes it hard to resist taking them against a bad Miami team. Sure, the Dolphins took care of business last week against the fellow lowly Jaguars, but don’t be confused: this Dolphins team is far off from real contention due to their lack of playmakers.
The Seahawks’ secondary is banged up and hasn’t played as well as their talent indicates they should, so this game will likely be right around the 6.5 spread. The Seahawks should win by more as Russell Wilson tries to keep up with Patrick Mahomes’ MVP bid.
The other game to pair with it is a fascinating matchup between fan bases that talk a lot of trash but have underachieving teams. Both Cleveland and Dallas have talented rosters that should be in the playoffs but there’s a sense of uneasiness every week for both franchises even with new coaches. Is this the week both play up to their competition and come out with a key victory?
I think we know enough about Baker Mayfield and the Browns to say he’ll likely not play well against a good team based on his past struggles. At least Dak Prescott plays well in big games, and that’ll be the difference as they play at home.
Parlay:
Taking two-score lines is a scary proposition but some teams match up in a way where we can’t ignore the favorite. That’s the case this week as Baltimore and the Los Angeles Rams will destroy their competition to embarrassing levels. The rosters are heavily skewed one way and the stylistic matchup couldn’t be much worse for neither Washington nor the Giants.
Washington loves to throw despite Dwayne Haskins’ lack of surrounding cast and struggles within the pocket, and the Ravens are coming off a humiliating performance where the secondary was exploited. The Ravens will be ballhawking and motivated to bounce back in a big way. Also there’s the Lamar Jackson revenge game we’re sure to see as he failed to break 100 yards passing against the Chiefs.
The Rams will also have a field day against the Giants thanks to schematic advantages. The Giants are one of the worst play-action defending teams in the league and they’re facing a top-three offense in that category. Jared Goff has been excellent this year, and his surrounding receivers are a nightmare matchup for the barren secondary of the Giants.
It’ll be a long day as Aaron Donald and Leonard Floyd try to force more mistakes out of Daniel Jones.
