Top NFL Parlay Picks for Week 17 (2022)
Last week was another letdown with our parlay. But I’m going to make it up this week. We’ve got two more regular-season weeks remaining, and we’ve got to hit one of those two.
With many players in health and safety protocols this season, it’s been a little bit harder to pay attention to all the news on players being absent and returning. So I waited until Friday, December 31 to put together this parlay. I think I finally have a winning ticket.

Leg #1 Titans Moneyline -172
Call me a square, but the Titans, at home, against the Dolphins is something I will back. The Titans now have A.J. Brown back in the lineup, and he caught 11 balls on 16 targets against the 49ers for 145 yards and a touchdown. It was a 20-17 win over the 49ers, and now I truly believe the Titans are legitimate.
Brown is currently hurt again, but I would be shocked if he didn’t play in this game. He’s been limited in practice but all signs point to that he’ll be playing.
On the other hand, the Dolphins are currently 8-7 and still have playoff hopes. However, the Dolphins have faced the Jets twice, the Giants, Panthers, and the Saints during a seven-game winning streak. Once Miami has to face competition like a 10-win Titans team, on the road, I think that streak fades away fast.
Don’t get me wrong, what the Dolphins did was remarkable and impressive at the very least, but against the Titans, it won’t be easy.
Leg #2. Raiders +7 (-114)
I don’t care if Carson Wentz is back or not. The Raiders should succeed against the Colts in a huge AFC game with so many implications. The Colts are currently unsure if they’ll have Wentz under center for Sam Ehlinger, but that line is still currently -7 to the Colts, so Wentz will likely be back for this game after testing positive for COVID.
Either way, the Raiders have looked solid defensively recently and won their last two games by scoring 17 and 17 in their previous two games. Wentz wouldn’t be practicing all week if he gets the start, and if Ehlinger gets the start, it’s just another rookie with high hopes and lets everyone down. Just like Ian Book did last week.
On the other hand, the Raiders are hoping Darren Waller is back in action. If he’s good to go, the offense might erupt after struggling throughout the second half of the season without the star tight end.
Leg #3. Bears -5.5 (-110)
I’m at the point where I’ll take the Bears -9 against the Giants and still be confident. The Giants started Jake Fromm last week, and he couldn’t get anything going offensively. So now the Giants are stuck with a choice of Mike Glennon and Jake Fromm for this game. It hasn’t been decided yet, but either option will struggle against the Bears.
Meanwhile, the Bears ended up winning a game last week with Nick Foles under center. While he won’t get the start this week, Justin Fields and Andy Dalton returned the practice and now the quarterback room is back in order.
That should be enough to help the Bears get a big win over the Giants.
