Picking games for an NFL week 15 parlay was no easy feat. COVID-19 is hitting teams hard while injuries are also mounting across the league. Then you have two Saturday matchups which makes everything a bit disjointed. We aren’t huge fans of multi-day parlay wagers simply because there is nothing worse than losing that first game and then seeing every other team win.
That left 12 Sunday contests to choose from but finding bets we liked wasn’t easy. There are just a lot of matchups surrounded by uncertainty. Like, the Dolphins at -9.5 against the Jets seems fine until you realize they are without Jaylen Waddle and may be starting Duke Johnson at running back. What the hell do you do with that?
It is ugly, but here is The Touchback’s NFL week 15 parlay. Odds via Fanduel Sportsbook.

The Touchback’s NFL week 15 parlay
Tennessee Titans at Pittsburgh Steelers (-102)
The Pittsburgh Steelers are a mess and yet could still make the playoffs. The Tennessee Titans seem to be a certainty for the postseason, but they have looked bad over the past three weeks. A.J. Brown and Derrick Henry being injured has created an offense that suddenly looks like one of the NFL’s worst.
Meanwhile, Pittsburgh has been just as bad. At the end of the day, this will probably be a one score game and, in that case, we are taking the home underdog.
Atlanta Falcons at San Francisco 49ers -9.5 (-110)
We told you to bet on the Atlanta Falcons as an underdog last week and it paid off. This week, grab the San Francisco 49ers. Here’s the deal, six of Atlanta’s seven losses have come against teams with a record of 6-7 or better. Five of those defeats were by more than ten points. It is really hard to see them keeping this close against a San Francisco 49ers side that has won four of its last five.
Cincinnati Bengals (+130) at Denver Broncos
Sure, the Denver Broncos have seven wins this season. They have gotten there by beating some bad teams. Last week, we mentioned how the Cincinnati Bengals were 2021’s ultimate Jekyll and Hyde team. After an overtime loss to the 49ers, this seems like a spot where they bounce back. And at +130 outright, it gives the parlay some much needed juice.
Arizona Cardinals -11.5 (-110) at Detroit Lions
Seriously, how are the Lions scoring points this week? Barring an unforeseen COVID-19 outbreak, the Arizona Cardinals should easily cover.
Parlay Total: Bet $10 to win $156
There isn’t a lot of confidence in our parlay this week and we will probably bump our own bet down to $5. Given everything that is happening off the field, you may even want to keep your powder dry.
