Parlay Pick 1
PARLAY: Carolina Panthers at Buffalo Bills Under 45 (-110) + New York Jets 1st Half Handicap +8.5 (-140) = +227
Carolina Panthers at Buffalo Bills Under 45 (-110)
The Buffalo Bills are coming off a hard-fought overtime loss in Week 14 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They will be at home once again as they host the Carolina Panthers, who are also coming in off a loss in their most recent contest. Carolina has struggled to run the ball and has possible issues at wide receiver with number one option D.J. Moore questionable for Sunday's contest.
The Panthers have been in games late due to their solid defensive play. They rank second in the NFL in total yards allowed with 293 and give up a league-low 177.7 passing yards per game. This looks to be a contest with points at a premium. Although it's a low number already, look for both defenses to continue to shine.
New York Jets 1st Half Handicap +8.5 (-140)
The Miami Dolphins have turned their season around in a hurry after a 1-7 start, winning five straight since. They host the New York Jets in a pivotal divisional rivalry game. With the Dolphins one game behind the Bills, they cannot afford to let this one slip away as they host the New York Jets, who have failed to cover the spread in six of their last seven games.
The Jets defense has been among the worst in the league, allowing 30.5 points and 392.7 total yards per contest. Their offense has struggled to put up points and will be without its top two receivers. The Dolphins have injury and COVID-related concerns of their own, including running backs Myles Gaskin, Salvon Ahmed, Phillip Lindsay and Gerrid Doaks along with a slew of others on both sides of the ball. Look for the Jets to keep things close early on and a low-scoring start by both squads.
Parlay Pick 2
PARLAY: Tennessee Titans at Pittsburgh Steelers Under 43.5 (-110) + Atlanta Falcons Team Touchdowns Over 1.5 (-150) = +218
Tennessee Titans at Pittsburgh Steelers Under 43.5 (-110)
The Pittsburgh Steelers are 6-6 and clinging to slim playoff hopes. They host a Tennessee Titans squad sitting atop the AFC South with a 9-4 record, in a game that has dropped down to a pick'em. The Steelers have had over a week to prepare or this matchup, last having played on Thursday, November 28. Their offense will need to be clicking as their defense has been a problem, giving up 36 or more points in three of their last four contests.
The Titans will be without A.J. Brown and, once again, Derrick Henry. As for Pittsburgh, they are up against the second-best run defense in football, which gives up only 91 yards a game. The Steelers have struggled in games this year when they haven't been able to establish the run and should find themselves in a similar situation.
Atlanta Falcons Team Touchdowns Over 1.5 (-150)
The Falcons are fresh off a statement win last week against the Carolina Panthers. This week, they meet a much tougher task as they travel to San Francisco to take on the 49ers. The 49ers enter Week 15 holding the six-seed in the NFC playoff picture, and the Falcons hope to keep their playoff hopes alive as big underdogs.
Matt Ryan and the Falcons have played well on the road this year, boasting a 5-2 record away from home, and meet a 49ers team that’s only 2-4 at home and has not felt any type of home-field advantage. Look for the Falcons to find some offensive success going up against a 49ers defense ranked 20th in points allowed at 23.2, with that number even higher on home turf at 25.8.
