Best NFL Parlay Bets for Today (Sunday)

Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season has arrived, and today's Sunday matchups are packed with excitement. As we hit the one-third mark of the regular season, the stakes are getting higher, and today's action promises plenty of drama. The spotlight is on a thrilling Super Bowl rematch between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers, a game that’s sure to deliver fireworks. Later tonight, Sunday Night Football will feature a can’t-miss clash between the rising New York Jets and the gritty Pittsburgh Steelers, both teams fighting to make their mark this season.

With so much on the line, let’s dive into our top three-leg NFL parlay picks for this action-packed Sunday.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS VS. ATLANTA FALCONS 

It will be a tale of two teams going in opposite directions when the Atlanta Falcons host the Seattle Seahawks this Sunday afternoon. Atlanta has won three out of its last four games and heads into this contest at 4-2, while Seattle has dropped three in a row and dropped to 3-3 after a hot start to the season.

A 3-3 record after six games isn't bad, but the Seahawks have been far from impressive. Their early victories came against weaker teams like the Denver Broncos, New England Patriots, and Miami Dolphins. However, as the competition has ramped up, Seattle’s weaknesses have been exposed. They've dropped three straight games by at least nine points, including a tough home loss to the New York Giants. Quarterback Geno Smith has struggled, throwing as many interceptions as touchdowns (six each). Meanwhile, the Falcons’ offense is firing on all cylinders. Kirk Cousins has found his rhythm with his new team, ranking fourth in the NFL in passing. In Week 5, he shredded the Buccaneers for 509 yards and four touchdowns. The Seahawks will have a hard time keeping pace if they can’t step up their game. FanDuel Sportsbook has this matchup priced at -102, reflecting just how tight this contest could be.

HOUSTON TEXANS VS. GREEN BAY PACKERS 

Lambeau Field is the setting for one of Week 7’s most intriguing matchups between the Green Bay Packers and Houston Texans. Both teams have very realistic playoff aspirations, with Green Bay currently sitting at 4-2 while Houston is off to a 5-1 start.

Unsurprisingly, the Texans are looking like one of the best teams in the league. They won the AFC South last year before adding RB Joe Mixon and WR Stefon Diggs. Mixon is back with a bang from a minor ankle injury and the CJ Stroud-to-Diggs connection has been getting stronger and stronger. Green Bay ranks 27th in the NFL against the pass, so Stroud could be in line for a huge performance today. On the other side of the ball, Jordan Love is prone to mistakes and is facing a Houston defense that ranks No. 3 in yards per pass attempt allowed. Don’t be surprised if the visitors win this game outright. You can back this tip at odds of +125 at BetMGM.

CINCINNATI BENGALS VS. CLEVELAND BROWNS 

AFC North battles are always intense, but this one won’t necessarily be competitive. The Cleveland Browns (1-5) are in shambles both on and off the field. Although the Cincinnati Bengals (2-4) are only one game ahead, they will be feeling good about themselves after winning two of their last three contests.

For whatever it’s worth, the Bengals have to be the best 2-4 team in the NFL. That will be of little solace to them, but the good news is that they probably won’t be two games under .500 for long. There is no doubt that this is a good football team. Its four losses have come by a total of 12 points in regulation and its Week 5 setback against Baltimore was an overtime thriller. Joe Burrow has been sensational, passing for 1,578 yards and 12 touchdowns compared to only two interceptions. Meanwhile, Cleveland is every bit as bad as its 1-5 mark suggests. Nick Chubb is coming back, but Amari Cooper is gone – dealt to the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday. Chubb’s return may help in the long run, but right now it doesn’t seem like anything can save this Deshaun Watson-led offense. The Bengals -5.5 is priced at -115 over at Draftkings.

Summary 

Both Seattle and Cleveland are riding a combined seven-game losing streak, making them prime candidates to fade. Green Bay may pose more of a threat, but they're up against a tough opponent in Houston, which makes for a challenging matchup. When you factor everything in, this three-team parlay offers strong value at +754 odds, making it a solid play for today's action.
