The NFL season is in the books and what a season it was. There was plenty of drama across the Week 18 slate, and the NFL postseason gets underway with a 6-pack of games for us to enjoy, starting with a pair of games on Saturday in the wide open NFC. I have come within just 1 leg of cashing a couple of massive mega parlays in recent weeks, so there’s no time like the present to get to the window with a winner this week!
With the Divisional Round weekend slate on the horizon, let’s get right into my NFL mega parlay that pays out at over 11/1 odds at FanDuel Sportsbook. Be sure to also check out all of our NFL Divisional Round coverage throughout the weekend.
Bills vs Broncos under 46.5 (-120)
49ers vs Seahawks under 45.5 (-118)
Texans vs Patriots under 40.5 (-105)
Rams team total over 26.5 (-120)
NFL Divisional Round parlay odds: +1112
Buffalo Bills vs Denver Broncos under 46.5 (-120)
To start off our mega parlay, let’s take the under in this game between the Bills and Broncos. This matchup has all the makings of a defensive slugfest, especially considering how banged-up the Bills are on offense, as Buffalo is now down to just 4 active wide receivers on its roster for Saturday. That doesn’t bode well against a Denver defense that is excellent in man coverage and should be rested and ready following a bye week. On the other side, the Broncos offense has really struggled against 2-high safety looks, and that’s exactly what this Buffalo defense loves to operate in. Look for Sean McDermott’s group to do a good job of limiting the explosiveness of Denver’s offense in what could turn into a field position battle on Saturday.

San Francisco 49ers vs Seattle Seahawks under 45.5 (-118)
This number has come down throughout the week, but I still see a bit of value on the under at the current number. After all, Seattle’s defense is easily one of the best units in football (2nd in EPA per play, 3rd in success rate) and the Seahawks just stifled the 49ers in the most recent meeting between these teams back in Week 18. That wasn’t even taking into account the recent injury to tight end George Kittle, who does so much for the 49ers offense in a myriad of areas. With that in mind, it will certainly be a challenge for Brock Purdy and company to put up points in this one. The same can be said for the middling Seattle offense, led by a quarterback in Sam Darnold who has had a checkered playoff history, to say the least.

Houston Texans vs New England Patriots under 40.5 (-105)
For our next leg of this parlay, we’ll target the Texans and Patriots to play a very low-scoring game at Gillette Stadium on Sunday. There is big injury news in this game for Houston, as this already struggling offense will now be without top wide receiver Nico Collins. Needless to say, this is not an enviable position for C.J. Stroud and the Texans offense to be in against a Patriots defense that has been trending up in recent weeks, culminating in a stellar performance against the Chargers a week ago. On the other side, Houston’s defense has been a wrecking ball all season long, and it’s hard to imagine the Patriots putting up many points against what is arguably the best secondary and defensive line in the game.
Los Angeles Rams team total over 26.5 vs Chicago Bears (-120)
To close out our mega parlay, let’s take the Rams to score at least 27 points on Sunday. Despite my concerns with the weather in Chicago around kickoff, it’s hard to avoid the advantages that the Rams offense should hold in this game. Los Angeles just moved the ball up and down the field against Carolina en route to a 34-point performance, and that success should translate into this contest against a Bears defense that allowed 27 points to the Packers a week ago, and that doesn’t even account for Green Bay’s catastrophic special teams in that game, which cost the Packers an additional 7 points in the loss. Regardless of which team wins this game, it’s hard to see this struggling Bears defense offering any resistance against Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles offense.
