The NFL action continues on Sunday after we were treated to a tripleheader on Thanksgiving, followed by the first ever Black Friday game between the Dolphins and Jets. Now, we have another 11 matchups on Sunday to keep the party going, and what better way to wrap up the week than by hitting an NFL parlay? I’ve already cashed 2 NFL mega parlays this season at +1457 and +1381 odds to finish us in profit for the season no matter what happens, but how about we go for the hat-trick?
Let’s dive into my NFL parlay for Week 12, and don’t forget to also read our NFL picks for every game this season.
Falcons ML (+112)
Bengals ML (+104)
Browns ML (+108)
NFL parlay odds: +799
For this NFL parlay, I’m going with 3 narrow underdogs on the money line, all at plus-money odds. Let’s break each of them down one by one.
Atlanta Falcons ML over New Orleans Saints (+110)
To get things started, we’re heading to the pitiful NFC South for a divisional matchup between the Saints and Falcons. The Saints lead the division, albeit with a 5-5 record, while the Falcons are right behind them at 4-6. Based on what we’ve seen this season, there’s no reason that New Orleans deserves to be a road favorite. The Saints have won just 2 of their last 5 games, and those victories were both against teams without their starting quarterback (Colts and Bears).
Admittedly, there are questions marks around Falcons QB Desmond Ridder, but the youngster should be motivated to put in a big performance knowing that his career as an NFL starter is on the line. Further, Atlanta does its best work on the ground behind Bijan Robinson, and they should have some success against a Saints team that gives up the 10th-most yards per carry. This game should be a close call, but getting the Falcons at plus-money odds when they have home-field advantage is an opportunity I’m not going to pass up.

Cincinnati Bengals ML over Pittsburgh Steelers (+104)
Next up, we head to the NFC North for another divisional matchup in the form of the Bengals hosting the Steelers. Again, we’re going with the narrow home dog as I think oddsmakers are reacting too much over the season-ending injury of Joe Burrow. This could come back to bite me, but I believe Jake Browning can do a serviceable job with this offense and he has the weapons to help him, such as stud running back Joe Mixon and star receiver Ja’Marr Chase. Granted, it’s a baptism of fire against this vicious Steelers defense, but I don’t believe the Bengals have to be great to win this one. Pittsburgh just fired their offensive coordinator and quarterback Kenny Pickett has just 1 touchdown pass in his last 5 games. This is set to be an ugly game, but given the state of the Steelers’ offense, I don’t think they deserve to be favored on the road in this one.

Cleveland Browns ML over Denver Broncos (+108)
To wrap up this NFL parlay, we’re going with a narrow road dog this time in the form of the Browns to beat the Broncos. I absolutely love this Browns defense, and even with Deshaun Watson out for the season, I have full faith that they can keep winning ugly. Going on the road to a Denver team that has won 4 straight is a little scary, but I believe the Broncos are the perfect opponent for Cleveland right now. Denver has allowed the most rushing yards and yards per carry in the league, which should open the door for Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt to have a huge day. The Browns have been a run-first offense for years now, so Kevin Stefanski should be salivating at the thought of letting his backfield loose in this one. I’m expecting a similar game to what we saw between the Browns and Steelers last week, and like Cleveland to continue their march towards the postseason.
