It will take a win over the Denver Broncos on Saturday afternoon for the Cincinnati Bengals to maintain their postseason hopes and move up the NFL playoff odds.

Based on how both teams are trending recently, our Broncos vs. Bengals parlay picks envision Cincinnati staying hot in a game that could feature plenty of scoring from both sides.

The Bengals (-3) host the Broncos at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati, OH, Saturday at 4:30 p.m. (NFL Network). Dever enters as a deep long shot in the Super Bowl odds.

Bengals -3.5 (+100) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

With their backs against the wall and the margin for error down to zero, the Bengals have been playing some of their best football of the season recently. Now some scheduling serendipity allows Cincinnati a direct crack at the team it needs to pass for the final AFC wild-card spot.

Though the Broncos boast the league's best record against the spread (11-4), Cincinnati has recorded three seven-plus-point victories, with the team red-hot leading into this must-win situation.

DraftKings sticks with the hook to offer the Bengals at -3.5 instead of -3. But the +100 odds boost our SGP relative to the other best sportsbooks to the extent that we’re willing to take the less favorable number.

Over 50 (-108) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

With a standout defense and an offense struggling to find its footing behind a rookie quarterback, Denver was a boon for Under bettors early in the season. We’ve seen the Broncos engage in more shootouts recently though, with two of Denver's last three games clearing 60 total points.

The Bengals average 28.2 points per game while allowing 26.2, making them a machine for Overs this season. The Over is 10-5 in games involving Cincinnati, with the highest average margin relative to the total in the NFL (plus-7.8 points per game).

Though some of our other best sports betting sites offer this total at 49.5, let's lean into the juiciest parlay odds we can find, which come from DraftKings despite less of an edge on this game total.

Courtland Sutton Over 5.5 receptions (+110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

To further improve the odds of our SGP, we’re looking to target a contrarian selection of a Broncos player prop going Over. Any Bengals prop would be correlated to our previous selections, resulting in a lower boost to the parlay odds.

Courtland Sutton had posted a streak of six straight games clearing 5.5 receptions before a pair of quieter outings over his past two contests. But with Cincinnati allowing the ninth-most completions per game (22.1) across the NFL combined with a potential negative game script, we like Sutton to be heavily involved in the offense.

A winning $10 wager on this parlay at DraftKings would profit $57.50 as part of your NFL Week 17 predictions.
