Week 18 NFL Parlay: Picks, Predictions and Odds Today

Week 17 of the NFL season is in the books and what a week it was. There was plenty of drama across the slate, including a pretty significant win for the Eagles over the Bills in a game that came down to a failed 2-point conversion for Buffalo with just a few seconds remaining. In fact, we were just one play away from cashing in on my Week 17 mega parlay, as I have come within 1 or 2 legs of cashing these massive parlays in recent weeks. I did cash back in Week 1 at +2512 odds!, so let’s make it a second winner to bookend the regular season on Sunday. 

With the Week 18 slate on the horizon, let’s get right into my NFL Week 18 mega parlay that pays out at over 14/1 odds at DraftKings Sportsbook.

Chargers alternate team total under 14.5 (-220)

Saints ML (+160)

Colts vs Texans Over 38.5 (-112)

Jaguars team total over 30.5 (-110)

Patriots ML (-675)

NFL Week 17 parlay odds: +1436

Los Angeles Chargers alt team total under 14.5 vs Denver Broncos (-220)

Regardless of if Denver is able to cover the spread in this AFC West battle on Sunday, we can expect the Broncos to play a simple and efficient game in a spot where Sean Payton’s team just needs to get out of dodge with a comfortable victory over a depleted division rival. Given the fact that the Broncos’ defense in a position where it should hold a few massive advantages over the Chargers’ anemic offense without the services of Justin Herbert under center, it’s hard to see Los Angeles scoring more than 14 points in this one. Ultimately, Denver should be able to secure a victory while ensuring that the Chargers offense doesn’t produce all that much on the road.

New Orleans Saints ML over Atlanta Falcons (+160)

Although each of these NFC South rivals are eliminated from playoff contention, both teams are playing very well in recent weeks. However, the underdog Saints are worth a shot on the money line, especially since we’re getting odds well into plus-money in what should be a fairly even game. Atlanta knocked off the Saints in the first meeting between these teams, but New Orleans missed a pair of field goals and turned the ball over twice in the loss, so there should be some positive regression on that front. Furthermore, rookie quarterback Tyler Shough has put together back-to-back 300+ yard performances, and he should be able to generate success against the Atlanta secondary this week.

Indianapolis Colts vs Houston Texans Over 38.5 (-112)

The Texans have been a team that has traditionally played to the under all season long, but this game has the makings of a rare Houston game that actually goes over the total. Despite the fact that they no longer have the services of their starting quarterback, the Colts are still a team that operates at a pretty fast pace under head coach Shane Steichen. Typically, that bodes well for an over game script, especially since the Texans offense has also been trending up in recent weeks. On the other side of the ball, the Colts defense is not healthy and if Leonard ends up struggling and turning the ball over, that could easily set Houston up with some short fields that could lead to quick scores on Sunday.

Jacksonville Jaguars team total over 30.5 vs Tennessee Titans (-110)

For our next leg, we’ll target the Jaguars to clear their team total against the Titans on Sunday. Jacksonville is playing as well as any team in the AFC at the moment, and that momentum should continue this week against a Titans defense that is in free-fall at the moment. Trevor Lawrence struggled in the first half of the campaign, but the Clemson product is in the midst of a heater during the second half of the season, including a tremendous showing against the Broncos defense on the road 2 weeks ago. Given the recent struggles of the Titans’ defense against the pass, it’s hard to see Jacksonville not putting up points in a game that the Jaguars have to win against a division foe.

New England Patriots ML over Miami Dolphins (-675)

To close out our mega parlay, let’s take the New England Patriots on the money line to serve as an anchor leg. New England’s flaws were certainly exposed in a loss to the Bills a week ago, but most of the Patriots’ strengths showed themselves in last week’s comeback win over the Jets on the road. The New England offense continues to be very productive, and even though the Patriots will be without Stefon Diggs this week, they shouldn’t have any trouble moving the ball against Miami in what should be a nice tune-up game for Drake Maye and company prior to Wild Card Weekend. The opponent this week is a lot easier than what they faced against Buffalo and Baltimore, so let’s back New England to keep things rolling on Sunday.
