NFL Week 17 Parlay Picks Recap
The NFL Week 17 parlays went 1-3 and that meant a slight losing week. The favorites parlay was the winner with the Bills beating the Jets and covering the big spread and the Commanders winning in overtime and covering the spread against the Falcons. We easily could have gone 2-2 with the parlay picks but Brock Purdy threw the game away for the 49ers in a loss to the Lions. The strategy of going with four two-team NFL parlays has been a decent one this season. We have said in the past that if we can win just one of our four parlays each week we’ll almost break even and that was the case in Week 17. Let’s recap NFL Week 17 parlay picks.
NFL Week 17 Underdogs Parlay Recap
We got swept on this parlay, as the Packers lost at Minnesota and just barely missed covering the spread. Green Bay dug themselves a big hole and couldn’t quite come all the way back, losing 27-25. The other half of the parlay never had a chance as Carolina was routed in Tampa, losing 48-14.
NFL Week 17 Favorites Parlay Recap
This was the winning parlay of the week as the Bills came through against the Jets and the Commanders covered against Atlanta. The Bills game was never in doubt, as the Jets are simply a bad team. Buffalo scored almost at will and rolled to a 40-14 victory. The other half of the parlay was a somewhat fortunate win. The Falcons played well with Michael Penix at quarterback and they were right with the Commanders for much of the game. Atlanta did have to score late to tie the game but then Washington won the toss in overtime and went right down the field to win 30-24 and cover the 4-point number.
NFL Week 17 Line Moves Parlay Recap
The first half of this parlay was an easy winner, as Baltimore crushed Houston, winning 31-2. The line move was definitely correct in this one, as the Ravens dominated from start to finish. The other half of the parlay never had a chance, as New England was routed by the Chargers. Los Angeles rolled to a 40-7 road victory and the line moves parlay was a loser.
NFL Week 17 Go Against the Public Parlay Recap
This parlay was the one that easily could have won. The Bears covered the 3.5-point spread in a 6-3 loss to Seattle. It was an ugly game as neither offense did anything, but the Bears covered the number. It looked like it would be a winning parlay, as the 49ers got out to the early lead against Detroit but Purdy threw two inexcusable interceptions in the second half and San Francisco lost 40-34.
NFL Week 17 Parlay Picks
The NFL Week 17 parlay picks are ready to roll with four two-team parlays. It was a 2-2 week with the NFL parlays last week and that meant a winning week. It should be noted, however, that the Underdog Parlay went down to just a single play, as we got a push with Seattle plus the points against the Vikings, while winning with Dallas. The Favorites Parlay was an easy winner with the Colts and Packers. The strategy of going with four two-team NFL parlays has been a decent one this season. We have said in the past that if we can win just one of our four parlays each week we’ll almost break even and when we hit more than one parlay we’ll do well because two-team NFL parlays pay out at 2.6-1. We’ll be happy if we can hit half of our NFL parlays on a weekly basis and we have done that a few times already this season. Here are NFL Week 17 parlay picks.

NFL Week 17 Underdogs Parlay
Green Bay Packers +1.5 at Minnesota Vikings
Count me among the believers in the Packers. This team is really good and could be a Super Bowl contender. I know the Vikings have the better record and they are at home, but I still have some doubts about Minnesota. I think Green Bay wins this one outright and we are catching points.
Carolina Panthers +8 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Bucs have to win their last two games and then hope Atlanta goes 1-1 because Tampa loses the tiebreaker to the Falcons for the NFC South title. The Bucs have Baker Mayfield, but they are still poorly coached, as Todd Bowles has never been a good head coach. Carolina is playing hard and they have looked good lately. I’ll take the Panthers plus the points.
NFL Week 17 Favorites Parlay
Buffalo Bills -10 vs. New York Jets
The Bills were fortunate to come away with a win last week against the Patriots, as Buffalo did not play well. I think they will be focused this week and the Jets are simply a bad team going nowhere. The Jets are poorly coached and are a complete mess right now. I’ll lay the points with Buffalo.
Washington Commanders -4 vs. Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons control their own destiny now, but why are they going to win in Washington? The Commanders are the better team and I give Penix very little credit for last week’s win, as the Giants are terrible. Let’s see how he does this week. I’ll lay the points and take Washington.
NFL Week 17 Line Moves Parlay
Baltimore Ravens -5.5 at Houston Texans
The Ravens opened as a 3.5-point favorite and the line is up to 5.5 so we take the Ravens minus the points.
New England Patriots +4 vs. Los Angeles Chargers
The Patriots opened as 5.5-point underdogs and the line is down to 4 so we follow the line move and take New England.
NFL Week 17 Go Against the Public Parlay
Chicago Bears +3.5 vs. Seattle Seahawks
The public doesn’t want anything to do with the Bears and who can blame them, as Chicago has lost nine in a row. I don’t trust the Seahawks at all, so maybe the Bears have a shot. We go against the public and take Chicago plus the points.
San Francisco 49ers +3.5 vs. Detroit Lions
