CRAZY NFL PARLAY WEEK 12

BY ADAM GREENE

Do you want to make back all that money you’ve blown in your Black Friday shopping? Here’s your chance. I have hand selected for you my weekly Crazy NFL Parlay, where I take the money you’d toss away on a Dunkin’ run and turn it into enough money to buy a Kawasaki four-wheeler.

If this is your first Crazy NFL Parlay, here’s how it works. I don’t just pick plus moneylines and hope for the best. Oh no. I peruse the lines, odds and totals and craft the perfect, most realistic parlay to capitalize on the NFL’s weekly chaos. They say any team can win on any given Sunday. We might as well make some cash in the process.

Here’s what I’ve picked out for you this week;

Houston Texans +103

Tampa Bay Buccaneers +115

Cincinnati Bengals +115

Atlanta Falcons +107

Cleveland Browns +100

Buffalo Bills +140

Los Angeles Chargers +144

Chicago Bears +140

As usual, if you’ve already read my Friday Afternoon Quarterback, Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football previews, then you know I only really like one of these upsets. I think the Buccaneers can handle the Indianapolis Colts and that’s pretty much it.

So, we have some work to do talking ourselves into the rest of these games.

The Texans have outperformed all expectations this season. Would it surprise anyone to see them shock a Jacksonville Jaguars team, playing on the road, that’s just a year or so ahead of them on the depth chart?

This is the first game for the Pittsburgh Steelers without Matt Canada. Maybe Kenny Pickett was the problem all along? The Bengals can show that’s the case.

The Falcons and New Orleans Saints are pretty evenly matched and Atlanta is at home. Michael Thomas has also provided some solid distractions with some legal issues and some knee issues.

The Cleveland Browns have spent all season winning games they shouldn’t with quarterbacks they had no intention of playing. Is Sunday’s contest against the Denver Broncos any different? The Browns have definitely beaten better teams.

Buffalo is still on the outside of the AFC playoff hunt, looking to power its way back in. Replacing Ken Dorsey with Joe Brady has already paid dividends. There’s always a freakish Josh Allen game possible and there’s every reason to believe he can unleash it against a Philadelphia Eagles squad still celebrating their win over the Kansas City Chiefs last week.

Brandon Staley is coaching for his life. He has a good team he’s just not helped live up to its full potential. Many times, under the gun, a squad can pull off a big win to save their coach and the roster is there with the Chargers to knock off a Baltimore Ravens crew in cruise control.

Lastly, the Minnesota Vikings have overperformed with Joshua Dobbs at quarterback. Justin Fields can be a gamechanger and the Bears are a tough out when he’s on his game. Fields could easily run and pass Chicago past the Vikings in Prime Time.

A winning $10 bet on these seven moneylines pays $5,449.91.
