Only two weeks remain to cash a winning NFL parlay at the Bitcoin Sportsbook, and I urgently need a winning ticket since I came up empty last week. The Week 17 schedule offers up a number of important games, including a pair of matchups on Wednesday. The Christmas Day bonus features the four teams that just played on Saturday, giving those clubs a Thursday Night Football fell to their schedule. The Chiefs have a matchup with Pittsburgh after beating Houston on Saturday. Baltimore moved into a first place tie with Pittsburgh in the AFC North with the help of a 34-17 win. It was a rare offensive outburst with Lamar Jackson solving the Steelers riddle by throwing three TD passes in the win. Though they failed to cover in their Week 16 loss, the Broncos are the most profitable team in the NFL going 11-4 ATS. They can clinch a playoff spot with a win over Cincinnati on Saturday and they are catching 3-points on the early line.

NFL Week 17 Parlay Card Underdogs
Panthers +8.5 at Buccaneers
Packers +1.5 at Vikings
I missed last week’s NFL underdog parlay when the Steelers were trampled by Baltimore. Lamar Jackson finally had a big game against the Ravens at the worst time for me, and anyone who backed Pittsburgh. You didn’t expect Pittsburgh’s dominance to continue forever and it didn’t. LJ tossed three TD passes and Derrick Henry had a big game rushing for 162 yards in the 34-17 victory.
There weren’t many dogs I liked on the early line of the Week 17 schedule, but Carolina has looked a lot better in recent weeks with Bryce Young finally showing signs of why he was drafted first overall. The Panthers played five straight games that were decided by 6-points or less until that streak was busted by Dallas in Week 15. Young had a nice game and the Panthers reached the 30-point mark for only the second time in Sunday’s contest with Arizona. Back at the beginning of the month they took the Bucs to overtime before losing 26-23. I’ll take the 8.5-points in this one.
Green Bay’s offense will put a lot of pressure on Minnesota and we can easily see a game similar to what we had in Week 4 when the Vikings held on for a 31-29 victory. I do think we see a reversal this time around, especially since the Vikings have played way beyond expectations. Sure, they are a good team and Sam Darnold has resurrected his career, but I do think the bubble is going to burst. The Packers also have a shot at catching Minnesota and Detroit in the NFC North giving them some added incentive.
NFL Week 17 Parlay Card Favorites
Colts -6.5 at Giants
Saints -3 vs. Raiders
Lions -3 at 49ers
I hit two of three picks on my last two NFL parlay card favorites ticket, and while it’s nice to have a winning record I came up short both times. I was a touchdown on the final play of the game away from winning in Week 15, undone when the Saints scored to get within a point. Washington stopped the 2-point conversion but failed to cover the 2.5-point line. Cincinnati and Atlanta both covered for my winning picks. The Bengals got me another win on Sunday covering the 6-point spread in a 24-6 win over the Browns.
Not that the Colts are great but the Giants are really bad showing us why in a 34-7 loss to Atlanta on Sunday. Not having a quarterback is a killer and the release of Daniel Jones looks even worse now. Drew Lock threw two interceptions that were returned for a TD and the NFL’s lowest scoring team managed just a touchdown. It was the fifth game the Giants were held to a single-digit point total.
The Raiders have struggled all season while the Saints have played better under interim coach Darren Rizzi. Rizzi is on the list of candidates for the permanent job and I expect his players will go all out for him, since that’s what they’ve done since he took over. Points may be tough to come by I can see New Orleans winning by more than a field goal. A rematch of the last season’s NFC Championship takes place on Monday night and with the Niners all but done this is a chance for Detroit to exact some revenge. The Lions showed no ill effects from their loss to Buffalo hammering Chicago on Sunday behind an offense that looks as dynamic as ever.
