Wild Card Weekend Parlay Picks & Predictions: Best ML, ATS, O/U & TD Parlays
Last Updated: January 11, 2025 10:00 AM EST • 4 min 26 sec read.
It's often considered the best weekend of the NFL season, and our Wild Card Weekend parlay picks hope to have you sweating straight through Monday night as we offer four different six-leg parlays that touch on each and every game.
Our NFL bracket predictions begin Saturday with the Houston Texans hosting the Los Angeles Chargers for a 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff at NRG Stadium. That's the deadline to place these tickets at our best NFL parlay betting sites in order to enjoy the full ride.
The first round of the NFL playoffs will conclude on Monday night with the Los Angeles Rams "hosting" the Minnesota Vikings at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.
Wild Card Weekend parlay picks: Moneylines
Our Andrew Brennan broke down his favorite NFL moneyline picks for Wild Card Weekend. I mostly agree with his thinking and am choosing to up the payday with this six-leg parlay:
- Texans to win (vs. Chargers): +135
- Ravens to win (vs. Steelers): -500
- Bills to win (vs. Broncos): -450
- Packers to win (at Eagles): +210
- Commanders to win (at Buccaneers): +140
- Vikings to win (at Rams): -140
Total payout ($10 bet):
We're targeting three NFL upset picks while predicting this weekend's six winners. Placing this bet via our BetMGM bonus code (SBRBONUS1550) can get you up to $1,550 in bonus bets to enjoy for the first round of the NFL playoffs.
The Green Bay Packers are the biggest long shots on this ticket, but Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts missed the final two games of the regular season due to a concussion and may be a little rusty at the most important time of the year. Green Bay's seventh-ranked rush defense (99.4 yards per game) could also put some limitations on Saquon Barkley.

Wild Card Weekend parlay picks: Against the spread
Gary Pearson broke down his NFL picks against the spread for every Wild Card Weekend game earlier in the week. I have a few different opinions:
- Texans +2.5 (+100)
- Ravens -9.5 (-108)
- Bills -8.5 (-108)
- Packers +5.5 (-115)
- Commanders +3 (-105)
- Vikings -2.5 (-112)
Total payout ($10 bet):
We can take the points for an extra $72 profit compared to our moneyline parlay.
I'm rolling with the two biggest favorites of Round 1 at home. The Vikings and Rams are playing at a (mostly) neutral field due to the wildfires in California, and I think the Vikings are being disrespected after coming one win shy of earning the NFC's first-round bye.

Wild Card Weekend parlay picks: Over/Under
All six betting lines this week fall between 42.5 and 50 points. That's despite 10 of the 12 teams playing on Wild Card Weekend finishing the regular season ranked in the top half of the league by points per game. That has me taking the Over with four of my six Over/Under parlay picks:
- Chargers vs. Texans Over 42.5 (-110)
- Steelers vs. Ravens Under 43.5 (-110)
- Broncos vs. Bills Over 47.5 (-110)
- Packers vs. Eagles Over 45.5 (-110)
- Commanders vs. Buccaneers Under 50 (-110)
- Vikings vs. Rams Over 48 (-110)
Total payout ($10 bet):
All six of these picks come with standard -110 odds as the Wild Card Weekend odds have had time to settle into place. The opening matchup between the Chargers and Texans comes with the shortest line of the week, and I believe that's ripe for the taking despite several trends pointing to the Under.
Contrarily, I'm taking the Under between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens, as I expect a vastly improved Ravens defense to stand tall against the floundering Steelers offense amid potential wintry conditions in Baltimore.

Wild Card Weekend parlay picks: Touchdown scorers
You wanna get nuts? Let's get nuts.
- J.K. Dobbins, RB, Chargers (+130)
- Justice Hill, RB, Ravens (+500)
- Dalton Kincaid, TE, Bills (+300)
- Jayden Reed, WR, Packers (+250)
- Jayden Daniels, QB, Commanders (+180)
- Jordan Addison, WR, Vikings (+150)
Total payout ($10 bet):
The biggest long shot here is Ravens backup running back Justice Hill, who matched a career high with four total touchdowns this season. He scored while catching all five of his targets for 61 receiving yards against the New York Giants in Week 15, and he returns from injury this week. Hill should get some extra passing work with Ravens receiver Zay Flowers sidelined.
I like Dalton Kincaid with the Denver Broncos expected to stifle Bills receivers Amari Cooper and Keon Coleman. And I like Packers wideout Jayden Reed, who made four receptions for 138 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against these Eagles in Brazil.
