Week 12 opened with a 3-game Thanksgiving Day slate before action continues on Sunday with a 12-game slate. There are several intriguing matchups, and I believe I’ve found 3 edges that can make up a +1249 mega parlay. Without further ado, let’s get into it!
Here are the components of Sunday’s mega parlay:
Tennessee Titans ML (+128)
Chicago Bears ML (+210)
Seattle Seahawks -3.5 (-110)
Parlay odds: +1249
For this parlay, we are going with two underdogs picks on the money line and one favorite against the spread. Let’s break down each of the legs.

Tennessee Titans ML (+128) over Cincinnati Bengals
It might come as a surprise, but the Titans have won 7 of their last 8 games. They continue to be a shock as 4 of those 7 wins have come as underdogs, including Week 11’s edition of Thursday Night Football — when they beat the Packers by 10 as 3-point underdogs. The root of their success is no secret, as Derrick Henry is having a monster season and carrying the Tennessee offense. The Bengals have been mediocre against the run this season, but the last time they faced an elite running back was against the Browns, and Nick Chubb ran for over 100 yards and had 2 touchdowns. There is a chance that Ja’Marr Chase returns for this matchup. He was a limited participant in Thursday’s practice, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see Joe Burrow’s favorite target suit up. Regardless of his status, Tennessee has shown it is a worthy underdog, so I will back the Titans for another outright win.

Chicago Bears ML (+210) over New York Jets
Does Zach Wilson think he let down the offense last week? “No.” Did Zach Wilson get benched this week? Yes. A miserable performance from Wilson and a poor damage-control effort will put Mike White on the field against the Bears. White has not appeared in a game yet this season, making Sunday’s Week 12 start his season debut. In 2021, White had 5 touchdowns, 8 interceptions and a 56.5 QBR rating. New York will likely try to keep the ball in the air with White in, however, that plays right into Chicago’s strength, as the Bears boast 1 of the better secondaries in the league. They have struggled against the run, so Michael Carter and James Robinson will likely rack up the yards, but White facing the Chicago secondary is a poor matchup for New York. Justin Fields has become one of the best running quarterbacks in the league, and although he’s dealing with a hurt shoulder I do expect him to suit up.

Seattle Seahawks -3.5 (-110) over Las Vegas Raiders
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again – the Raiders are a mess. It’s been Josh Jacobs on the ground and Davante Adams through the air with little to no help from anyone else. Hunter Renfrow and Darren Waller are both on injury reserve, so Derek Carr can’t expect a boost of help on offense anytime soon. Las Vegas has only 3 wins this season, and 2 of them came against the Broncos. Their only other win? It came against the Texans, who are 1-8-1. As for the Seahawks, they’ve won 4 of their last 5 games, with their only loss coming to Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. Kenneth Walker III has been a huge addition to their offense, while deep-threat Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf have been Geno Smith’s favorite targets. Seattle is 3-1 at home while Las Vegas is 1-4 on the road, so all signs point towards another rough week for the Raiders.
