Welcome back to our Week 16 NFL Parlay!
We are three weeks away from the playoffs, and there are tight races in each conference. This week’s parlay will feature some teams that must win and franchises that are already packing for Christmas.
Last week, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers cost us an NFL parlay win. However, it’s tough to get mad at a team that is 11-3 ATS in 2021.
Here is my Week 16 NFL Parlay! It’s time to start winning.
Buccaneers -11 (-110) vs Panthers
Tom Brady was shut out for the first time in 255 consecutive starts against the New Orleans Saints last week. The Saints won by a 9-0 margin, but there are a few positives regarding this game.
Tampa Bay’s defense was sensational against the Saints, who still have weapons despite Taysom Hill playing quarterback. Additionally, Brady is the best quarterback to bet following a loss.
Brady will likely watch film all week and show up big on Sunday in Carolina. The team has lost some weapons, but Tampa Bay is still a much better team than the Panthers.
I cannot rely on Cam Newton to deliver a parlay win because he can barely throw the football at this point in his career. Carolina has lost four straight games, and people want Matt Rhule to be sent back to the college ranks.
The Buccaneers are 7-7 ATS compared to the Panthers at 5-9. This is also the first meeting of the season between the two teams, with the second occurring in Week 18.
Chargers -9.5 (-110) vs Texans
The Texans were +3.5 against the Jaguars last week, and they blew out Urban Meyer’s former club. Houston is not a good team, and they do not frequently win, so do not read into a victory over the Jaguars.
Los Angeles is -9.5 on Sunday, which is a juicy spread because if the Chargers win by 10, it’s a victory for bettors.
Los Angeles is 8-6 SU, 4-2 on the road, and 7-7 ATS. These numbers are much better than the Texans. Houston is allowing 250 passing yards per game, which is one of the worst in the NFL.
I expect Justin Herbert to have a huge day throwing the football. If he takes care of the ball, it will be a big day for the Chargers. This has been an issue for Herbert, but the emergence of Austin Ekeler has helped limit turnovers.
Los Angeles’ offense is why they will cover on Sunday against Houston’s horrendous defense. Why not take a look at the BParlay.com NBA Parlay picks for a different type of wagering option.
Bears vs. Seahawks -6.5 (-110)
Fire Nagy chants erupted on Monday night when the Chicago Bears hosted the Minnesota Vikings. This was a game the Bears could have won, but they made too many mistakes.
It always scares me to include two teams with no chance of doing anything in the playoffs. However, the value of Seattle is too good to resist against a Chicago team loaded with turmoil.
Justin Fields is making rookie mistake after rookie mistake. Even though the Seahawks have not played well on defense, they should have an easy time defending Fields.
The Chicargo Bears have won one time in their past five games, and it was against Detroit. Seattle has defeated the 49ers, Texans and played the Cardinals, Washington, and Rams tough in their past five.
The Seahawks kind of found their groove, but it came too late in the season. I still like them to win easily and cover at home on Sunday.
Russell Wilson has been excellent this season when he was healthy. The quarterback has 16 TD and five INTs in 2021 with 2,458 yards. Fields have thrown three more INT than touchdowns this year.
The combined odds of the parlay is +595. A $100 wager would pay out $695.
