Week 17 Top Parlay (-109)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 0.5 Units
- Bills ML (-800) vs Patriots
- Eagles ML (-650) vs Cardinals
- 49ers ML (-750) at Commanders
- Chiefs ML (-325) vs Bengals
We’re keeping it simple and going with four heavy favorites on the moneyline for the Week 17 top parlay.
We’ll start off with the Buffalo Bills (9-6), who have won three in a row and are looking to cement their position in the playoffs.
Josh Allen and company should be able to take care of business at home and avenge their Week 7 loss to the New England Patriots (4-11), who come off an upset win and are unlikely to make it two in a row.
Next, we’ll roll with the Philadelphia Eagles (11-4), who should be able to easily dispose of the Arizona Cardinals (3-12).
Philly will want to torment former defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, who is now the head coach in Arizona. The Cardinals are simply overmatched in this one, and we could see a blowout here.
The third leg features the San Francisco 49ers (11-4), who are coming off an embarrassing home loss by double digits against the Baltimore Ravens.
The Niners will likely take it out on the Washington Commanders (4-11). I’m not worried that Jacoby Brissett is starting, even though he’s an upgrade over Sam Howell.
The final leg requires the Kansas City Chiefs (9-6) to defeat the Cincinnati Bengals (8-7).
Like San Francisco, the Chiefs are looking to bounce back following an abysmal performance at home. Patrick Mahomes should be able to shred a Bengals defense that just got torched by Mason Rudolph.
I like each of these plays against the spread as well, but I’ll put them in a parlay in case they win but don’t cover.
Target these four plays for our NFL bet of the day.
Longshot NFL Week 17 Parlay
Week 17 Longshot Parlay (+687)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 0.1 Units
- Panthers ML (+210) at Jaguars
- Chargers ML (+154) at Broncos
The Week 17 longshot parlay features two underdogs that have a great chance of winning outright.
We’ll start with the Carolina Panthers (2-13) to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars (8-7).
Carolina has been much better under interim coach Chris Tabor, beating the Atlanta Falcons and almost coming from behind in a three-point loss to the Green Bay Packers.
Bryce Young had his best game as a pro last week and could build on that performance vs a struggling Jaguars defense that just got picked apart by Baker Mayfield.
On the other hand, the Jags are reeling right now, having lost four in a row. There’s also a chance that C.J. Beathard will be forced into action for the banged-up Trevor Lawrence.
Take a shot on the Panthers, who are slowly starting to trend upward.

I’ll finish it off with the Los Angeles Chargers (5-10) to avoid the season sweep against the division-rival Denver Broncos (7-8).
The Chargers nearly pulled off the upset over the Buffalo Bills in interim head coach Giff Smith‘s debut.
Los Angeles now takes on a Denver team that has benched Russell Wilson in favor of Jarrett Stidham for reasons that are largely financial.
Don’t underestimate the impact that this move could have on a locker room. There’s a decent chance that we don’t see the Broncos’ best effort in this game.
NFL Week 17 Same-Game Parlay
Panthers vs Jaguars Same-Game Parlay (+675)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 0.1 Units
- Bryce Young: 200+ Passing Yards (+175)
- D.J. Chark: 50+ Receiving Yards (+425)
I’ll go back to Jacksonville for the Week 17 same-game parlay by targeting Bryce Young and D.J. Chark.
The Panthers’ rookie quarterback is coming off his best game as a pro, completing 23-of-35 passes for 312 yards and two touchdowns.
This is an exploitable matchup vs a Jaguars defense that’s giving up 272.1 passing yards per game.
I’m adding Chark because the veteran wideout is also coming off a big game, having hauled in 6-of-8 targets for 98 yards and two touchdowns.
As an added bonus, it’s a revenge game for Chark, as he’s facing his former team. When Chark played the Jags last year, he racked up 98 yards.
