NFL Week 13 Odds: Building the Best Parlay for Sunday's Games

Week 13 of the 2023 NFL season got off to a thrilling start on Thursday night. The Dallas Cowboys outlasted the Seattle Seahawks at AT&T Stadium, holding on for a 41-35 win.

Plenty more excitement could be on the way when the action resumes Sunday. There are 11 games on the day's slate, seven of which will kick off at 1 p.m. ET. Then, three more games will occur in the late-afternoon window, followed by a Sunday night matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Green Bay Packers.

Before Week 13 resumes play, here's a breakdown of a three-leg parlay for Sunday's action that might work out well for bettors. All odds and lines are courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.

After a 1-5 start to the season, the Broncos have turned things around in a major way. Denver has won five consecutive games (three of which came following a Week 9 bye), so it has a lot of momentum heading into its Week 13 matchup vs. the Texans in Houston.

It makes sense why the Texans are a slight favorite for this contest. They're playing at home, and they were on a three-game winning streak before losing to the AFC South-leading Jaguars last Sunday.

But the Broncos shouldn't be overlooked. Their winning streak has included victories over top AFC teams such as the Chiefs and Bills, so they've proven they're capable of winning tough matchups.

So bettors should take Denver with the extra three points on Sunday afternoon. Russell Wilson and the Broncos are too hot to pick against at this point.

Another three-point underdog that should be included as part of this parlay? The Eagles. That's right. Philadelphia, which will be playing at home on Sunday, isn't favorited to win in Week 13 despite owning an NFL-best 10-1 record.

The Eagles have a challenging matchup against the NFC West-leading 49ers, who stormed out of their Week 9 bye by recording three consecutive wins. Not only that, but San Francisco won tough road contests against Jacksonville and Seattle during that stretch.

Still, Philadelphia is a different type of opponent. The 49ers' defense may be strong, but they could have their hands full with quarterback Jalen Hurts and the rest of the playmakers on the Eagles' offense.

Any time you can bet on Philadelphia with extra points, it's likely wise to do so. Even if the Eagles lose for only the second time this season, it's going to be a tight game.

The Packers surprised a lot of people on Thanksgiving, when they went on the road and recorded a 29-22 victory over the NFC North-rival Lions. It was the most points Green Bay had scored in a game since its season-opening 38-20 win over Chicago on Sept. 10.

There's a chance the Packers could keep their offensive momentum going in Week 13, when they're set to host the Chiefs on Sunday night. If Green Bay plans on having any chance of scoring an upset win, it will likely need to score a lot of points.

Kansas City, which suffered a rare loss in Week 11 when it fell to Philadelphia, bounced back last Sunday with a 31-17 win in Las Vegas. It will likely have more offensive success on Sunday night.

The Chiefs-Packers matchup may not turn into a high-scoring shootout, but both offenses are playing well enough for the teams to combine for 43 or more points at Lambeau Field.

By combining these three bets, the odds for the wager are +584 (bet $100 to win $584). If you want to take a larger risk for potentially more reward, you could swap either the Broncos or Eagles moneyline into the parlay.

It's safer to take the extra three points with both Denver and Philadelphia. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see both teams end up victorious on Sunday.
