Oakland: +3

Total: 47

The NFL Parlay Picks start in Oakland, where the surprising Raiders, will take on the suddenly surging Indianapolis Colts. The Colts have won two in a row, and are suddenly in the driver’s seat in the AFC South.

And obviously it all starts with Peyton Manning. While Manning struggled a bit earlier in the year, he has found his groove lately, completing over 72 percent of his passes for four touchdowns and no interceptions in his last two games. Maybe even more importantly, running back Donald Brown emerged with a 129 yard rushing performance against Jacksonville last Sunday.

Still, we’re going to go ahead and take Oakland in the NFL Parlay Picks. The Raiders aren’t nearly as bad as many think, and always seem to play their best football when everyone least expects it. Last Sunday, they beat Denver 39-23 on 119 yards from running back Darren McFadden. It was his sixth 100+ yard game this season.

In the end, the Colts are the better team, but traveling across country, getting the Raiders in their final home game is a bad spot. Take Oakland here.

NFL Parlay Picks: Oakland +3

New York Giants (9-5 SU, 7-7 ATS) at Green Bay Packers (8-6 SU, 8-6 ATS)

Sunday, December 26: 4:15 p.m. Fox, Live from Lambeau Field, Green Bay, WI

Football Betting Odds:

New York: +3

Green Bay: -3

Total: 43

In the second half of the NFL Parlay Picks, two teams coming off crippling losses will do battle at Lambeau Field, with the loser almost certainly out of the playoff picture.

For Green Bay, they’ll welcome back quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the fray, after missing last weekend’s loss to New England with a concussion. While backup Matt Flynn was commendable, Rodgers is a difference maker, having tossed 23 touchdowns on the season.

As for New York, we all know their story from last weekend by now. The Giants were comfortably ahead of the Eagles, before a series of miscues led to Philadelphia scoring 28 fourth quarter points, in an unbelievable comeback win.

And truthfully, we’re not sure New York can recover, which is why the Packers are the second half of our NFL Parlay Picks.

While New York has been saying all the right things this week, it’s a lot to ask for this team to come back seven days later and put what happened behind them. It’s another to ask them to do it at Lambeau Field, with Rodgers back under center.

With Rodgers back, and needing this win, Green Bay will get exactly that. Make them the second half of your NFL Parlay Picks this weekend!
