NFL Picks & Parlay of the Weekend | Week 18

Our experts have carefully gone through each of the Week 18 matchups to build a parlay to help you win big at your favorite NFL betting sites. We will break down each leg below, giving you the odds and insights, you need to win big this weekend. 

Texans -1.5 | -110 at FanDuel Sportsbook

This is one of the most important games of Week 18, with both teams fighting to make their way into the playoffs. While the Colts have done well after losing Anthony Richardson for the season, they will not have enough to beat the Texans this weekend. Their defense ranks among the bottom ten in the NFL, and they’ll face a very good Texans offense with CJ Stroud in the lineup.

On the other side of the ball, the Texans' defense has not been consistent this season, but they are playing well of late. Rookie Will Anderson Jr. has had four sacks over his last two games, and the run defense now ranks among the top five in the league. That will be a problem for the Colts, who will be looking to rely on Jonathan Taylor to get the win. We expect an exciting game, but Houston will come out on top.

Bijan Robinson over 58.5 rushing yards | -114 at FanDuel Sportsbook

The Falcons and Saints will meet on Sunday for a chance to sneak into the playoffs. While we like the Saints to win, we are confident that Bijan Robinson will do a lot of damage. The rookie has been great, though the Falcons' game plan has not done him any favors. He has led the offense over the last two weeks, combining for a total of 208 scrimmage yards. He rushed for over 70 yards in both games, and we see him doing so again today.

Another reason we like this bet is that the Saints have struggled against the run this season. That was the case when these two teams met back on Thanksgiving weekend, with Robins rushing for 91 yards on 16 carries (5.7 YPC). That means the rookie will have confidence against this shaky unit, leading to another impressive yardage total. 

Justin Fields over 51.5 rushing yards | -114 at FanDuel Sportsbook

This is the game we are most looking forward to this weekend. A vastly improved Bears team will be coming to Lambeau for a chance to avenge their Week 1 loss and knock their arch-rival out of the playoffs. While we think they may win the game, we know that Fields will have his way on the ground against Green Bay. We have seen the Packers struggle against the run, especially with mobile quarterbacks. This is the same defense that allowed Tommy DeVito to rush for 71 yards on ten carries, costing them a crucial game.

Fields has been playing as well as anyone in the second half of the season. He is succeeding through the air and on the ground, leading the Bears to win four of their last five games. Fields had no issue running on the Packers in Week 1, finishing with 59 yards on nine rushes. While he only managed 45 rushing yards last week, that was against a Falcons team with a far better defense. Given the stakes and his current play, we expect to see Field run up and down Lambeau Field on Sunday afternoon.
