Winner winner chicken dinner: NFL parlay for Week 13

Analyzing NFL Week 13 betting odds and lines, with predictions and picks for the best parlay bet to make.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

With Week 13 of the 2024 NFL regular season offering 11 Sunday games and a Monday night contest, we have a 3-way parlay ready to go.

We were very thankful Thanksgiving, as now-ex Bears coach Matt Eberflus mismanaged the clock on the final drive to help the Under (47.5) hang on in the Chicago-Detroit Lions game in the early window.

In the middle game, the Dallas Cowboys held off a charge from the visiting New York Giants and prevailed 27-20 to cover as 4-point favorites — this column had the line at -3.5.

In the evening game at Lambeau Field, we said the final pick — Under 47.5 — in our T-Day parlay might be close, and it was. The host Green Bay Packers defeated the Miami Dolphins 30-17 .. and the Under sneaked in by a hook (a half a point).

Cha-ching! It was a sweet 3-for-3 Thanksgiving parlay. So, let’s do it again and build that bankroll for the holidays.

After looking at BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL Week 13 odds, here is our “Winner winner chicken dinner” NFL parlay bet to cash in on among SportsbookWire’s NFL expert picks and predictions.

WEEK 13

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list of NFL odds. Lines last updated Saturday at 11:52 p.m. ET. All games Sunday and ET.

Leg 1: UNDER 48 (-110) — Chargers at Falcons – 1 p.m. (CBS)

The LA Chargers (7-4) meet the Atlanta Falcons (6-5) in the early window Sunday.

The Chargers make their fourth trip east of the Mississippi River this season. They are 2-1 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in those games, winning at Carolina and Cleveland and losing to Pittsburgh. More importantly, the Chargers allowed just 33 points in the 3 trips — 11.0 points per game (PPG) — while averaging 21.0 PPG as the Under hit in all 3 games.

The Chargers have already faced 3 NFC teams this season, and the Under is a perfect 3-0 in those games, as they allowed a combined 28 total points for a 9.3 PPG average.

Meanwhile, the Falcons enter on a 3-0 Under run, including an 11.5 PPG offensively in the past 2 games. However, the defense has allowed 20 or more points in 10 straight games dating back to Week 2.

Against the AFC this season, Atlanta is 0-3 SU and, cashed the Under in all 3 games, averaging just 11.0 PPG on offense.

Leg 2: CARDINALS +3.5 (-115) at Vikings – 1 p.m. (FOX)

The Arizona Cardinals (6-5) and the Minnesota Vikings (9-2) face off in the Twin Cities in Sunday’s early window, too.

The Cardinals are coming off a 16-6 loss at Seattle last week in a chilly drizzle, but they won’t have to worry about the elements at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis Sunday.

Despite the setback in Week 12, Arizona is still 4-1 SU/ATS in its past 5 games. Plus, the Cardinals are 3-2 ATS in 5 road games this season.

The Vikings enter on a 4-game win streak with a 2-1-1 ATS record. The defense allowed 13 or fewer points in 3 of those outings, while the offense managed 23 or fewer points in 4 of the past 5 contests.

Minnesota might win its 10th game of the season Sunday, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see this battle of NFC playoff hopefuls finish within a field goal.

Leg 3: BILLS -6 (-110) vs. 49ers – 8:20 p.m. (NBC)

The Buffalo Bills (9-2) and San Francisco 49ers (5-6) hook up at Highmark Stadium for the Week 13 Sunday Night Football.

The weather forecast has continually changed, so make sure to double check before finalizing your bets.

Western New York has been dealing with bouts of lake-effect snow since Thanksgiving. Orchard Park, which is located southeast of downtown Buffalo in a snow belt, was originally under the bullseye for heavy snow totals. By Friday, the snow was expected to taper off during gametime.

There should be piles of snow on the ground, and it could snarl traffic getting to the game. However, if any group of fans are used to dealing with snow, it’s the Bills Mafia.

As far as on the field, if the current forecast holds, we might simply see flurries or light snow showers, but nothing to totally affect the game negatively. Winds will be blowing 8-10 MPH, which isn’t a lot at this time of year in Buffalo.

The good news for the 49ers is that QB Brock Purdy (shoulder) is expected to play after missing last week’s game, but the bad news is that DE Nick Bosa (hip, oblique), DL Jordan Elliott (concussion), LB Dre Greenlaw (Achilles), DB Deommodore Lenoir (knee) and OL Trent Williams (ankle) are all out.

The 49ers will have to be careful with Purdy on a potential slippery surface.  Plus, they’re missing too many key pieces, especially on defense. This one could get away from San Francisco like it did in last Sunday’s 38-10 loss at Green Bay.
