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 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?

Bears at Lions: Key injuries
The Lions will be without starting QB Matthew Stafford (back). His replacement, QB Jeff Driskel (hamstring) has missed practice time. DE Trey Flowers (concussion) and WR Marvin Hall (foot) could miss the game.
Bears TE Ben Braunecker (concussion), WR Taylor Gabriel (concussion), RT Bobby Massie (ankle) and LB Danny Trevathan (elbow) could miss the game.
Bears at Lions: Odds, betting lines and prediction
With the Lions having lost four in a row and with Driskel playing quarterback, it doesn’t make sense to take them at +115, even though it is a better value than the Bears. The BEARS have been disappointing this season but they should be a slam dunk for the win at -139.
A $10 bet on the Bears will net $7.19 in profit with an outright win.
The Bears are favored by 2.5 points. The Lions are guaranteed to be in a close game, but they have not been a good bet, having covered the spread in only four of 11 games this season. The Bears haven’t been much better, covering only three times. That said, the Bears have covered in seven of the last 10 games against the Lions. They have the defense and the Lions have a backup quarterback. Take the BEARS (-2.5, -115).
The total is set at 39.5 points. In 11 games this season for the Bears, the total has hit the Under in eight. It is a short week. The Lions will struggle against the Bears defense. and the Bears offense is bad. Take the UNDER 39.5 (-121).

Previewing the Dallas Cowboys at New England Patriots Week 12 match up, with NFL betting odds, lines, picks and best bets
The New England Patriots (9-1) host the Dallas Cowboys (6-4) Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET on FOX. We analyze the Patriots-Cowboys odds and lines, providing sports betting NFL picks and advice around this key Week 12 matchup.
Dallas Cowboys at New England Patriots: Week 12 preview, betting trends and notes
Get some action on the games by betting at BetMGM. New customer offer: RISK-FREE First Bet (up to $500!) paid in free bets.
The Patriots barely bested the Philadelphia Eagles last week, winning 17-10. It wasn’t pretty, and QB Tom Brady didn’t look sharp, hitting just 55.3% of his 47 passing attempts.
The Cowboys were given a run for their money from a bunch of Detroit Lions’ backups, but Dallas was able to pull out the 35-27 victory.
Dallas QB Dak Prescott has thrown for three touchdowns in each of the past three games. The Patriots are 2nd best vs. the pass, allowing 152.6 yards/game. They’ve only given up four passing touchdowns all season, so this will be a big key to the game.
These teams haven’t met since 2015 and the Patriots have won the last five games, dating back to ’99. Dallas had won the previous seven encounters.
The Patriots are the No. 1 defense in the league, allowing just 10.8 points and 249.9 yards per game. Dallas is the No. 1 offensive team, averaging 444.6 yards per game. Dallas is 4th in points scored at 28.6 points/game.
The Cowboys allow 322.1 yards/game, seventh best in the league, and are tied at seventh allowing 19.7 points/game. The Patriots average 359.9 yards/game offensively, 16th best in the league, yet they are third at 28.7 points/game. They just haven’t looked good recently and their ground game needs a major boost.
Cowboys at Patriots: Key injuries
Brady (elbow) was a surprise injury report addition Friday, when he was limited. He is questionable. His top-three receivers are also questionable, as Julian Edelman (shoulder), Mohamed Sanu Sr. (ankle) and Phillip Dorsett II (concussion) were all limited Friday.
The Cowboys are relatively healthy, but keep an eye on WR Amari Cooper (knee), who has dealt with a knee issue.
Cowboys at Patriots: Odds, betting lines and prediction
The PATRIOTS (-278) are the chalk pick here, but this should be closer to a toss up. The Cowboys (+220), however, like to throw in stinkers to keep us on our toes. Regardless, that’s a lot of tax to pay on New England. New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Pats returns just $3.60 profit with a victory.
The Cowboys are being spotted 6.5 (-110) points and that hook, as usual, scares me. The Patriots have covered in 70% of their games (7-3), but they’ve played some really poor opponents; that shouldn’t be the case Sunday. Dallas is 6-4 ATS. Expect this one to be close; even if New England has a lead, they are struggling to put better opponents away. DALLAS (+6.5, -110) is the play.
Dallas is 7-3 vs. the O/U, while New England is 3-7. Something has to give, and it likely won’t be the New England defense. Continue to ride the UNDER (-125) with this set at 46.5.

Previewing Sunday’s Week 12 matchup between the Detroit Lions and Washington Redskins, with NFL betting odds, picks, tips and best bets.
The Detroit Lions (3-6-1) face the Washington Redskins (1-9) Sunday at FedEx Field at 1 p.m. ET. We analyze the Lions-Redskins odds and betting lines while providing betting tips and advice around this Week 12 NFL matchup.
Lions at Redskins: Week 12 preview, betting trends and notes
Looking to place a bet on this game or others? Sign up at BetMGM.
The New York Jets routed the Redskins 34-17 last week. It was 34-3 before Washington added two late touchdowns.
The last meeting between the two teams was a 20-17 Lions win in 2016.
Both teams have bad home/road splits. The Lions are 1-3-1 on the road, while the Redskins are 0-5 at home.
The Redskins rank 31st in offensive yards per game (255.7 YPG) and average just 12.5 points per contest.
The Lions are still without QB Matt Stafford who has multiple fractures in his upper back and neck area.
Detroit is favored for the third time all season.
Lions at Redskins: Odds, betting lines and prediction
Taking the LIONS to win and cover the 3.5 points is the play. The -105 number is far better value here than the moneyline. They’ll need to win by at least four points.

Previewing Sunday’s Week 12 matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and Philadelphia Eagles with NFL betting odds and lines, picks and tips.
The Seattle Seahawks (8-2) face the Philadelphia Eagles (5-5) Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field at 1 p.m. ET. We analyze the Seahawks-Eagless odds and betting lines while providing betting tips and advice around this Week 12 NFL matchup.
Seahawks at Eagles: Week 12 preview, betting trends and notes
Looking to place a bet on this game or others? Sign up at BetMGM.
The Eagles dropped to 5-5 after losing to the New England Patriots.
The Seahawks were on a bye last week after beating the previously-undefeated San Francisco 49ers the week before.
The last meeting between the two teams was a 24-10 Seahawks win in 2017.
Seattle has been surprisingly better on the road than at home with a 5-0 record. Philadelphia is just 3-2 at home.
The Philadelphia defense ranks fourth against the run allowing just 86 yards per contest.
The Seahawks rank 4th in offensive yards per game (389.1 YPG) and average 27.5 points per contest.
Philadelphia ranks just 23rd in total offense at 337.8 yards per contest.
The Seahawks allow the eighth-most yards per game defensively and allow 25.4 points per game.
The Eagles are ninth overall defensively and yield 323.5 yards per tilt. This includes just 23 points allowed per game.
The Seahawks have a turnover margin of plus-six, while the Eagles are minus-two.
Seahawks at Eagles: Odds, betting lines and prediction
The SEAHAWKS (+100) remain a solid play because of the small price and value vs. the Eagles (-121). The Eagles lacked any kind of downfield punch last week and it did not help that their receivers dropped at least three or passes on routes of 15-plus yards.
New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Seahawks to win returns a profit of $10 with a victory.
Back the SEAHAWKS against the spread as well at (+1.5, -110). Seattle is rested and should win this game outright. They’ll need to lose by a single point or win straight up in order to cover. The moneyline is the more profitable play.
The UNDER 48.5 (-115) is the bet here. The Eagles’ offense seems to be decreasing by the week and Seattle’s defense looks to be improving. Rest this time of year is rare and for Seattle to have such a late bye is huge. That may be enough to slow down the Eagles’ attack and keep the Under as the play.

Previewing the Panthers at Saints Week 12 NFL matchup, with NFL betting odds, picks and best bets
The Carolina Panthers (5-5) look to keep their playoff hopes alive when they visit the NFC South-leading New Orleans Saints (8-2) at 1 p.m. ET Sunday at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
Carolina at New Orleans: Week 12 preview, betting trends and notes
Looking to place a bet on this game or others? Sign up at BetMGM!
New Orleans is 7-1 straight up and against the spread in its last eight games.
In each of the last five games between the Panthers and Saints in New Orleans, the teams have hit the over — combining to score 57, 52, 79, 79 and 51 points in those games.
The Panthers have allowed 20 or more points in each of the last six games.
The Saints are a different team in the Superdome, where they have won 16 of their last 20 games.
Carolina is 1-5 ATS in its last six November games.
Carolina at New Orleans: Key injuries
The Panthers are banged up on defense. CB Ross Cockrell (quad) has yet to practice this week and DT Gerald McCoy (knee), LB Shaq Thompson (ankle) and safety Eric Reid (knee) have all been limited. For the Saints, guard Andrus Peat (forearm) and CB Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) have yet to practice and tight end Josh Hill (concussion) remains limited and has yet to be cleared for game action.
Carolina at New Orleans: Odds, betting lines and prediction
Only Cleveland has a higher moneyline number than the Saints (-455) this week. The Panthers are getting +340. If you were to make a bet here, the limited return takes the Saints out of the equation. A very small bet on the upset pick could bring a nice return if Carolina wins, but that doesn’t seem very likely.
New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Panthers to win would return a profit of $34.
The Saints are a prohibitive favorite a 9.5 points (-110 on both sides) and that has been enough to get action on the Panthers. This one may not hit that number until late, but the Panthers defense has been allowing veteran quarterbacks to carve them up. Drew Brees will likely be surgical on them. LAY THE POINTS.
The number is a healthy 46.5 and is taking into account that the Saints have surrendered fewer than 20 points a game about every other game since the end of September. However, that can still be enough for the over in the type of game we’re expecting — a couple of first-half touchdown drives by the Saints that puts Carolina in an early hole and forces the Panthers to become pass-heavy, which leads to chunk yards and stops the clock on incompletions. TAKE THE OVER (-106), especially given the history of this rivalry at the Superdome.

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
(Photo Credit: Thomas J. Russo – USA TODAY Sports)
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.
