NFL parlay bets to consider around Week 13’s Thanksgiving Day Games.
Three NFL games are on tap for Thanksgiving Day, giving sports fans and bettors plenty of betting action to take part in while friends and family gather around the holiday celebration.
While you can bet on all three games individually, the slate leads to some interesting parlay options, too.
New to sports betting? A parlay bet is when you place a wager on two or more items. In order to cash, you need them all playing out exactly as you pick. They can include different betting lines, games or sports, even. The larger amount of items involved in a parlay lead to larger payout opportunities, but also higher risk.

The bottom of the NFC North meet to kick off the Week 13 action. The Lions, a home underdog, have plenty of backups in their lineup, while the Bears continue to search for ways to solve their offensive woes.
The Cowboys, barely hanging onto the NFC East lead, just had a painful loss at the hands of the Patriots, while the surprising Bills continue to find ways to win and push toward a playoff spot. Despite their records, Dallas enters this as a solid favorite.
The Falcons shocked the Saints, who are heavily favored in this game, just a few weeks ago. Will lightning strike twice for Atlanta against the NFC South leading Saints?

Previewing Sunday’s Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals Week 12 matchup, with NFL betting odds, picks and best bets
The Pittsburgh Steelers (5-5) visit the winless Cincinnati Bengals (0-10) Saturday for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff at Paul Brown Stadium. We analyze the Steelers-Bengals odds and sports betting lines, while providing betting tips and advice on this Week 12 NFL matchup.
Steelers at Bengals: Week 12 preview, betting trends and notes
Get some action on the game at BetMGM by placing a sports bet!
The Steelers will have more than a week off after having a five-game winning streak snapped in a 21-7 loss at the Cleveland Browns in Week 11’s Thursday night game – the Steelers were 3-point underdogs.
The Bengals lost – but covered as 13-point dogs – at the Oakland Raiders 17-10 Sunday
The Steelers are 1-3 on the road and 6-4 against the spread (ATS) overall.
The Bengals are 0-4 at home and 4-6 ATS.
Both teams are 3-7 against the Over/Under this season.
The Steelers won the first head-to-head meeting of the season 27-3 at home Sept. 30.
Steelers QB Mason Rudolph has thrown for 1,551 yards with 12 touchdowns and eight interceptions, completing 62.3% of his passes.
In his two starts, Finley has thrown for 282 yards with one TD and two picks, while completing 47.5% of his passes.
The Steelers defense is 13th in points allowed (20.2 PPG), while the Bengals are 28th (27.6 PPG).
Steelers at Bengals: Key injuries
Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion, knee) is doubtful, while RB James Conner (shoulder) and WR Diontae Johnson (concussion) are questionable.
Bengals WRs A.J. Green (ankle) and Auden Tate (concussion) are questionable.
Steelers at Bengals: Odds, betting lines and prediction
The Bengals (+225) may win eventually, but it won’t be against the STEELERS (-286), who have won nine straight in this AFC North rivalry. The -286 price is expensive, but if you’re willing – every $2.86 wagered will profit $1 if Pittsburgh wins – go for it.
The STEELERS (-6.5, -110) are worth a small play. As mentioned, they’ve had a few extra days off and should be fired up after the Browns loss. The Bengals might be playing for pride, but they’re 0-4 ATS at home and with the way their season is going, the home fans likely won’t show up in force.
The UNDER38.5 (+100) is the STRONGEST PLAY. Both teams struggle to score, ranking in the bottom third of the NFL. The Steelers are 24th, averaging 22.0 points per game, while the Bengals are 30th at 14.7 PPG. The past two head-to-head meetings totaled 30 and 29 points, respectively, and the last eight matchups are 2-6 O/U.
Plus, the Under is 7-1 in the Steelers’ last eight games after a loss, and the Under is 8-1-2 in the Bengals’ last 11 games inside the AFC.
New to sports betting? The +100 is an even bet. Every $1 wagered profits $1 if the two teams combine for 38 or fewer points.

Our weekly NFL underdog betting staple continues into Week 12 where Ken Pomponio features three teams likely to upset their underdog odds
Thanksgiving is only a week away and we’re quickly cutting to the chase in the 2019 NFL season.
Believe it or not, every team will have only five games remaining after this weekend, and each one takes on added significance with postseason berths and draft positioning on the line. We will see if that means more favorites come through in the win column – and, for our purposes, against the point spread – as the stakes grow higher.
Last week, favorites posted a season-best-matching 9-5 mark against the mid-week lines, and we were able to forecast only one (the Arizona Cardinals) of the five covering underdogs, moving our season record to 19-14.
The Week 12 pickings look slim at the outset, but come up with three dogs we must, utilizing Wednesday’s point spreads from BetMGM.
Indianapolis Colts (+3.5) at Houston Texans

Quarterback Jacoby Brissett was back Sunday, and so was the Colts’ mojo as they snapped out of a two-game skid with a 33-13 rout of the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars. This week, Brissett looks like he may get back his top weapon in wideout T.Y. Hilton.
The Texans, meanwhile, came off their Week 10 bye and were summarily smashed by Lamar Jackson and the red-hot Baltimore Ravens 41-7 on the road. The rout highlighted the Texans’ growing defensive deficiencies as they’ve surrendered 24 or more points in five of their last six outings.
That includes a 30-23 road loss to Brissett and the Colts in Week 7 – Indy’s fifth win in the last six series meetings, including a 21-7 road playoff triumph last January in the Wild Card Round.
Also factor in the success of Thursday night underdogs and their 8-3 record against the spread this season, and there is ample reason to back the visiting Colts Thursday night.
Dallas Cowboys (+6.5) at New England Patriots
(Photo Credit: Raj Mehta – USA TODAY Sports)
Yep, we’re playing with fire again, siding against the Patriots who are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games dating back to Week 17 of last season.
The New England defense is allowing a league-low 10.8 points per game but has famously feasted largely on a group of bottom-feeder teams and injury-addled offenses.
Dak Prescott and the Cowboys are anything but, ranking fourth in the league with an average of 28.6 points per game and have the requisite run-pass balance to pose a serious challenge.
Overshadowed by a dominant defense, Tom Brady and his offense simply haven’t been their usual potent selves and have managed only five offensive TDs over the last three games.
The Cowboys may not pull off the outright upset in Foxborough, but they have more than enough to make this Sunday afternoon national showcase game a close one.
Green Bay Packers (+3.5) at San Francisco 49ers
(Photo Credit: Cary Edmondson – USA TODAY Sports)
After bouncing back from their first loss of the season, the Niners are tied with the Pats for the league’s best record at 9-1.
But whether it’s been a rash of key injuries or the up-and-down play of QB Jimmy Garoppolo, the 49ers have covered only once in their last five outings and are 5-4-1 overall ATS on the season.
Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, meanwhile, are only one game behind the Niners at 8-2 and have been at their best in their biggest games, beating the division-rival Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings, and winning on the road in Dallas and against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Now comes their biggest test yet – a prime-time NFC playoff-seeding showdown in San Francisco – and we give Rodgers and Co. more than a puncher’s chance to not only cover but come away with the outright road upset.

Previewing Sunday’s Dallas Cowboys at Detroit Week 11 matchup, with NFL betting odds, picks and best bets
[jwplayer JLUmLtYE]
The Dallas Cowboys (5-4) will face an NFC North opponent for the second straight week, taking on the Detroit Lions (3-5-1) Saturday for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff at Ford Field.
Cowboys at Lions: Week 11 preview, betting trends and notes
Get some action in the game at BetMGM by placing a sports bet!
After starting the year 3-0 ATS, the Cowboys are just 2-4 since then. They’ve been favored in every game so far this season.
The Lions are 0-4 ATS in their last four games after beginning the season 4-1. Detroit has only been favored twice this season.
The Lions are 8-4 straight up (SU) in their last 12 games against the Cowboys. The teams have split the last 10 games against the spread, though, going 5-5.
In their last eight meetings, the total has gone over in seven games.
The over is 6-3 in Cowboys games this season, including 4-1 in the last five.
The Lions are 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games and 1-3-1 SU at home this season.
Cowboys at Lions: Key injuries
Lions: QB Matthew Stafford (back) will miss his second straight game, while CB Darius Slay (neck) was limited in practice, but is expected to be fine for Week 11.
Cowboys: WR Amari Cooper (knee, ankle) and DE DeMarcus Lawrence (neck) are expected to play.
Cowboys at Lions: Odds, betting lines and prediction
The Cowboys typically take care of business against lesser opponents, but their Week 6 loss to the New York Jets was a stunner. They should be able to beat the Lions, who will have Jeff Driskel at QB, despite being on the road.
Take the COWBOYS (-304) to win outright against the Lions. Driskel and the Lions offense will have trouble moving the ball against Dallas’ defense, and Detroit struggles to stop the run.
New to sports betting? Every $3.04 wagered that Dallas wins outright will profit $1 if the Cowboys prevail. A $10 bet would profit $3.29 (10 divided by 3.04).
Despite being without Stafford, the Lions are only 6.5-point underdogs. That’s not very many points for a team starting its backup quarterback against a stout defense.
Dallas will cover the spread and win this one by at least one touchdown. Bet the COWBOYS -6.5 (-121).
The total has gone over in four of the Cowboys’ last five games and three of the last four for Detroit. The over/under of 46.5 might seem like a lot for a team led by Driskel, but the total will go above that number.
Take the OVER (-115) in this matchup, primarily because the Cowboys offense is rolling right now.

Previewing Sunday’s Cincinnati Bengals at Oakland Raiders Week 11 matchup, with NFL betting odds, picks and best bets
[jwplayer JLUmLtYE]
The winless Cincinnati Bengals (0-9) visit the Oakland Raiders (5-4) Sunday for a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff at RingCentral Coliseum (on CBS). We analyze the Bengals-Raiders odds and sports betting lines, while providing betting tips and advice on this Week 11 NFL matchup.

The Bengals lost at home to the Baltimore Ravens 49-13 last Sunday, failing to cover as 10.5-point underdogs.
The Raiders beat the Los Angeles Chargers 26-24 at home last Thursday as a 1-point underdog. RB Josh Jacobs’ 18-yard touchdown run with 1:02 remaining capped Oakland’s late winning drive.
The Bengals are 3-6 against the spread (ATS) and 3-6 against the Over/Under (O/U).
Bengals rookie QB Ryan Finley made his first career start last week, completing 16 of 30 passes for 167 yards and one TD with one pick.
Raiders QB Derek Carr has thrown for 2,202 yards with 14 TDs and four interceptions this season.
The Bengals have won the last three vs. the Raiders, dating back to 2012.
The Raiders average 23.1 points per game, ranking 15th. The Bengals are 29th (15.2 PPG).
The Raiders are 26th by points allowed (26.7 PPG), while the Bengals are 28th (28.8 PPG).
Bengals at Raiders: Key injuries.
Bengals: WR A.J. Green (ankle), OT Bobby Hart (shoulder), RG Alex Redmond (ankle), DT Geno Atkins (knee) are questionable. RB Giovani Bernard (knee) is probable, while CB Dre Kirkpatrick (knee) is out.
Raiders: FS Lamarcus Joyner (hamstring) is doubtful, while C Rodney Hudson (ankle), DE Josh Mauro (groin) and CB Trayvon Mullen (illness) are questionable. Jacobs (shoulder) is probable.

The RAIDERS (-10.5, -115) are worth a play. They’re 7-1 ATS in their last eight home games; however, they haven’t won a game by more than eight points this season. The Bengals (+10.5, -106) have lost their last three games by a combined 60 points.
The OVER48.5 (-115) is worth a small-unit play … but just like I suggested last week with Cincy, the STRONGEST PLAY is the 1st-half OVER 23.5 (-134). The Bengals are terrible against the run, ranking last in the league by allowing 173 yards per game. Oakland could score three TDs before halftime.
New to sports betting? Bet $13.40 to win $10 that 24 or more points will be scored by halftime.
