The Best NFL Parlay Bets for Week 17
The Games:
Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys (-600)
Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs (-450)
Oakland Raiders (-180) at Denver Broncos
Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys odds (-600)
The Cowboys are 12-4 straight up in their last 16 games at home and will need this game to keep their playoff hopes alive. There is plenty on the line in this game as we all know if Dallas wins and Philadelphia loses to the Giants, the Cowboys will be NFC East champs. Dallas is 4-1 against their division and that includes beating the Redskins earlier this season by double digits.
Dallas is also 1st in the NFL in total yards per game and have outscored their opponents by 82 points this season. Meanwhile Washington has been outscored by 138 points and are switching back to quarterback Case Keenum for the season finale. Moreover, the Redskins have had tough times versus Dallas of late, winning just once in their last seven tries. Go with Dallas.
The Prediction:
26 Dallas Cowboys
10 Washington Redskins

Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs odds (-450)
The Kansas City Chiefs are starting to look great again, winning five in a row including their most recent victory where they toyed with Chicago on Sunday night. In those five wins, they have outscored their opponents by 88 points.
The Chiefs are 4th in the league in passing and with some Christmas luck, can still get the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs. The Chargers have all but packed it in, looking downright pathetic the last two weeks. The bottom line this game is all about the Chiefs; the Chargers have only taken down Kansas City once in their last 11 encounters, and we can make that 12 after Sunday.
The Prediction:
23 Kansas City Chiefs
3 Los Angeles Chargers
Oakland Raiders at Denver Broncos odds (-180)
Since taking over at quarterback for the Broncos, rookie Drew Lock has produced three wins out of four games. In two of those three wins, Denver won by double digits, including beating the AFC South champs (the Texans) in their house by 14 points.
Running back Phillip Lindsay had a big game last week, going for more than 100 yards rushing in what has been a pretty quality season overall. With a win, the Broncos can tie the Raiders for 2nd place in the AFC West and officially knock out their division rivals of any chance the Raiders would entertain of making the playoffs.
The Prediction:
31 Denver Broncos
24 Oakland Raiders
