After hitting on our week 18 parlay, we didn’t publish anything for Wild Card weekend. Our eventual wager would be derailed by the Arizona Cardinals which is annoying considering we got the first three picks correct. Hopefully, things end a little better with our NFL Divisional Round parlay.
Speaking of this weekend, there are plenty of sports betting experts throwing out numbers and other tidbits. However, there are four games and you have watched these teams play all season. This is the time of year to go with your gut.
The Touchback’s NFL Divisional Round parlay is exactly that. We are betting based on what we know. And if you don’t agree with something here, then fade it. Odds via Fanduel Sportsbook.

The Touchback’s NFL Divisional Round parlay
Cincinnati Bengals (+152) at Tennessee Titans
Tennessee may be the number one seed in the AFC and Derrick Henry is likely to return for this matchup, but the Cincinnati Bengals as underdogs are too good to pass up here. Joe Burrow and company have proven they can hang with any team in the league. Meanwhile, the Titans are the weakest number one seed in recent memory. And, if you’re into that kind of thing, all the numbers point to this being a toss-up.
San Francisco 49ers at Green Bay Packers (-245)
Don’t mess with the points because the 49ers have this uncanny ability to give Green Bay fits. But a hurt Jimmy Garoppolo going up against what appears to be close to fully healthy Packers team is not a recipe for success. Take the low-hanging fruit.
Buffalo Bills at Kansas City Chiefs (-126)
When the Kansas City Chiefs were in the midst of that terrible stretch to open the year, which included a loss to Buffalo, we told you to buy low on their Super Bowl odds. And that is why we are betting on them here. You can make a strong case for either team, so treat this as a coin flip and go with who you like better.
Los Angeles Rams +3 (-118) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
There is a real temptation to take the Los Angeles Rams on the moneyline, but it is impossible to bet on Tom Brady to lose.
Parlay Total: Bet $10 to win $107.59
There is a case to be made for going crazy on the underdog Bills and Rams, but we just don’t see it. And while that brings down the total payout of our NFL Divisional Round parlay, it is a play we like.
